I provide virtual sessions for Delaware residents.) I am honored to work with clients seeking support during life's challenging moments. You could be struggling with anxiety, navigating significant life transitions, or facing family or racial issues. I also specialize in supporting the LGBTQ+ community. You deserve a therapist who truly understands and empathizes with your experiences. As an Asian therapist, I strive to create a culturally inclusive, non-judgmental space for self-expression and growth. Together, we will explore your unique concerns, foster resilience, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and acceptance.
I specialize in providing trauma-informed care, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to meet each client's unique needs. I am EMDR trained and DBT certified. My goal is to help my clients process and heal from trauma, allowing them to move forward with greater resilience. I bing a holistic and multicultural perspective to my practice.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when you are dealing with overwhelming emotions or difficult experiences. I want you to know that you are not alone in this journey. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. If you are ready to explore, please call me or email me. :)
