Schema Therapy in Desert Hot Springs, CA

I am accepting new clients as of JANUARY 1, 2024 for VIRTUAL psychotherapy only. I have been working in the field Mental Health since 2005. This is not quick fix therapy, this is deep, longer term psychodynamic psychotherapy, offering CBT/MI methods and EMDR when appropriate. Psychotherapy is not just a science, it is an ART. It takes YEARS of dedication to this craft to eventually help people make changes to their lives. I can help deactivate trauma and help you work towards feeling better about yourself so that you can have healthier relationships with people and yourself!

I see clients in California and MN for telehealth psychotherapy. In my practice, I help people overcome their personal obstacles to change and get unstuck. Together, we identify those issues which we can change and those that we can accept. Over the past 30 years, I have helped people create healthy movement in their lives and to develop a balanced design for living that can serve as a foundation for years to come. I strive to provide an atmosphere that is respectful and safe. It is very important to me that clients know that they have a voice in the treatment process so that the treatment is individualized to meet their needs.

Accepting clients in person & video. I provide a comfortable, accepting place where you can gain insights and specific skills to help you feel your best. Often we have deep beliefs about ourselves that can hold us back. Our systems can become overloaded with the stress of modern life. I can help you develop a plan to achieve your goals, have more confidence, & feel more at ease. We are an energy system that can learn to better regulate itself and experience more tranquility, joy, and happiness & better manage sadness and anxiety. I use a variety of research based techniques that I tailor to your needs and preferences.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.

Areas of special focus: Children and Teens (Including poor school performance, conflict resolution, ADHD, 504’s, IEP’s) Parenting, Anxiety, Interpersonal Relationships, and Spiritual Integration. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, parents, couples and adults struggling with their own mental health issues. I create a safe and warm environment and by using my relationship in therapy to facilitate the healing process in my clients. I brings over 25 years of working with children and adolescents as a school counselor in the Long Beach School District.

You are an adult, teen or couple dealing with trauma, life transition, grief, anxiety, relationship strain or emotional pain from your past or present. Old coping strategies no longer work and you feel stuck, indecisive, scared, or angry. An uplifting, experienced therapist, I have brain science expertise and am trauma-informed. I will help you find hope and new perspectives, face your fears, overcome self-limiting beliefs, stop avoiding and be proactive. I seek to help you move from shame to self-compassion, from self-doubt to clarity, from insecurity to empowered self-expression, from over-reactivity to clarity & mindful wisdom.

Please EMAIL for inquiries. Welcome to my practice! My life’s purpose is to help other people, and I would be honored to help you on your journey. My sessions are all tailored to my client and what they need, as there is no one-size-fits-all therapy session.

Hello and Welcome. Our agency offers affordable, low-cost, telehealth therapy.

I am a second generation Chinese-American clinical psychologist. I completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University and have expertise in teaching tools to navigate intense emotions such as anxiety and anger, and improve self-confidence and relationship satisfaction. I also specialize in teaching communication skills for couples and families such as conflict resolution, setting and maintaining boundaries, and expressing and getting relationship needs met. I'm particularly passionate about working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds, such as being a first or second generation immigrant or mixed race.

As a clinical counselor, my mission is to assist individuals in navigating the intricate landscape of their minds. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, feeling the weight of burnout, processing the impact of trauma, or managing the challenges of learning differences, know that you're not alone.

Life can be challenging, and difficult moments can leave us feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, angry, and at times, all of those emotions at once. Psychotherapy can allow you to explore and identify unhealthy patterns in your life. Through this process, new coping skills occur so that you can feel better and healthier. My focus is on older adolescents, young adults, couples, and families who struggle balancing responsibilities, healthy relationships, and individualized goals. I work with a multicultural lens, and effective therapeutic approaches to ensure your values are honored, and goals are accomplished.

Despite our inherent need to search for meaning in life, none of us were given an instructional handbook on how to achieve happiness and well-being at birth. Even under the best of circumstances it is difficult to cultivate inner peace while navigating the difficulties of social expectations, residual childhood experiences, emotional regulation and forming social connections. When trauma is added to the equation, life becomes a constant act of coping instead of growing. If you feel like your journey has become wrought with indecision, impulsivity, or emptiness; it might be time to invite someone to walk alongside you.
