Therapists in Seattle, WA

Do you feel overstimulated by others' energy throughout your day or week? You may have noticed that you have a stronger emotional response than those close to you (both positive & negative). Or maybe, you find yourself so focused on your responsibilities that you struggle to enjoy the journey. We often find ourselves isolating or masking just to cope with impossible feelings. Through counseling, you can face these challenges and decrease the stress, anxiety, and even relationship bumps that you might be experiencing.

Hi, I’m Eric. Depression and life’s stress can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and scared. Someone who cares about doing their best for their loved ones and tuning in to their needs can still find themselves feeling sad, overwhelmed or worn out. Sometimes, we work so hard trying to do the right thing we can almost forget who we are or why we are doing all this. If you are here, that is a sign you are open to make a change. You are primed to do something good for yourself. You are ready to care for the caregiver that works so hard for everyone else. Most of all, you are set to get onto a path you can feel proud of.

I am a leader in somatic, body-mind psychotherapy and the expressive arts, including dance/movement therapy. Together, we co-create a space that values respect, honest connection, and communal support with a focus on your nervous system's response to stress. Relationships and our capacity to live in alignment with our core values are a top priority. My approach is always humanistic including multicultural, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I counsel while being a whole person myself, part of the holistic path of recovery that you might be seeking.

As an Asian American woman, I have a personal understanding of how to successfully navigate multicultural systems, especially those of Eastern/Western combined backgrounds.
