I provide individual counseling for various topics including mood disorders, life transitions, acculturation stress, and interpersonal relationships etc. I also have experience working with individuals with marginalized identities, such as international students, immigrants, racial/ethnic and gender minorities. With my own cross-cultural background, I stay humble and curious about learning different cultures and working with diverse populations. By creating a safe and warm space and building a compassionate, non-judgmental and genuine therapeutic relationship, my clients will be willing to self-explore, heal and grow.
My counseling style mainly integrates Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy (ST). We collaboratively identify issues, make plans and take actions for goals that are attainable and practical. We will together to learn skills, gain insights, change our maladaptive patterns, then get back in touch with our core needs and feelings.
I see myself as a fellow traveler of my clients, joining the client’s journey towards their own goals. You will always be the protagonist of your journey. I believe that we will eventually let go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embrace who we really are, living a more prosperous and fully authentic life. Reach out to me, whenever you feel ready!
