English
| 中文 I specialize in anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma, and I also work with depression, cross-cultural adjustment, relationship issues, OCD, and the LGBTQ+ community.
My therapeutic style has two main paths. One is more psychodynamic and attachment-
based. We might start with something recently and explore it deeply. At the same time, if you come in with a specific issue you want to work on, I’m very structured and intentional. For trauma work, I integrate EMDR. If you bring a concrete problem, we can brainstorm together and map out steps. And if you’re interested in shifting thinking pattern, I use CBT and DBT more actively
My approach is integrative and tailored to each client, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), IFS and psychodynamic exploration. I don’t believe therapy has to be either
rigid or one-size-fits-all. We can decide together what you need most at this stage of your
life.
I believe your emotions deserve to be met with gentleness. And I trust that together, we can rebuild your sense of safety within yourself and walk through this healing journey at a pace that feels right for you.
