Pacific Islander Therapists in Orem, UT

Have you ever felt ashamed? Ever felt like others don’t understand you, but say they do? Those have been my own experiences and have led me to work with people in recovery and their families, survivors of domestic violence/abuse, minority communities and teens. I come from a multi-cultural family with an immigrant parent which has both enriched my life and created unique struggles for me. These experiences, however, have helped me empathize with a wide variety of people and situations. My goals are to support my clients as they navigate their struggles and find hope and strength within themselves.

Your relationship with your spouse is unlike any other. That one person is in a unique position of intimacy that allows them to truly love you or sometimes, to deeply hurt you. For you, the hurt in your relationship could feel like an exhausting cycle, or being stuck, or a deep disappointment. The good news is that couples therapists today have decades of research to draw from. The work of the Gottman Institute or the Hendrix Imago program show what makes a happy, healthy relationship. As a marriage and family therapist, I help my clients experience more of the good stuff.

Hello there! I am a licensed psychologist experienced in conducting several different evaluations for ages six and above. Evaluations I provide include ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, a variety of psychiatric/psychological conditions (e.g., OCD, anxiety-related, depressive disorders, personality disorders, etc.), pre-police employment, pre-mission, pre-surgery, and learning disabilities (e.g., accommodations for standardized exams, college, social security benefits). I strive to be very thorough in my evaluations and give specific, evidence-based feedback and resources in my follow up sessions.

These are the main issues I can help you with and my aim is to give you the best well-rounded care for the issues that are impacting your well-being. A typical treatment plan may involve implementing the best evidence-based approach that is suited to treat your presenting problem. After choosing a model that is best suited for your presenting problem and desired approach, interventions will be incorporated that further our treatment plan to reach your goals. The benefits you can expect is a decrease in your presenting problem and overall improvement in your wellbeing and affect.

Life is hard. It just is. At some point, you may have felt like you've lost sight of who you are and what you want. Whether that's due to mental illness, trauma, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or unexpected life changes, sometimes you just need someone to help guide and be present with you through the struggle. At True Self Counseling, we work with children, teens, and adults, and specialize in working with trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety disorders, faith transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Our focus is to help you heal, become aware of your inner strengths, and progress. We achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and working with you on your plan.

One of the most important protective factors against most mental health concerns is having a support system full of safe and genuine relationships. I believe that the quality of the relationships you have with others and with yourself ultimately impacts your quality of life. I can be but one of those pillars of support as I help empower individuals and families to take control of their own life and make of it what they so desire! I want to provide a safe space where you can unlearn and rethink the unsafe behaviors/thought processes that have kept you safe in the past but continue to hold you back from realizing your full potential.

Finding a therapist can be difficult. Whether you are seeking someone to help you become a better you, or just someone to vent to, I can help you work toward identifying and celebrating the strengths that will empower you to become the best version of yourself that you can be. This is why I firmly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy.

My goal is to help clients heal and move forward regardless of the challenges they are facing. My main experience for the past seven years has been with adolescents and women dealing with trauma. I am passionate about helping clients deal with life experiences and helping them develop tools to have the strength to move past those issues. I also have training and have worked with many married couple to help them overcome difficulties in their marriages and work as a coach to help them learn strategies to strengthen their relationships and develop a stronger connection.
