| 中文 Next openings- Mid Feb. 2025 -Life is a journey full of change, and sometimes with uncertainty. During life hardships, we may want to talk to someone, get a helping hand, take a break and rest our soul to prepare us for the growth. I provide Bilingual English/Mandarin-Chinese therapy to adults and family who need a teammate. I specialize in treating trauma, mood-related disorder, cultural and identity difficulties, adjustment in life transitions, and chronic stress. I help individuals and families work through challenges and adversities, gain courage, understanding of self, and skills to grow a meaningful, purposeful life.
I strive to provide a calm, empathetic, and supportive environment with a mix of orientations depending on your needs in treatment. I have extensive trainings and experience in trauma-inform care, which is adaptive in CBT( cognitive-behavioral therapy), and DBT(Dialectical behavioral therapy). I also utilize person-centered approach with cultural competency.
Seeking help can be challenging, therefore I am glad you are making the first step! I meet where you are at with genuine connection. One step at a time to embrace this transformative journey. Understanding and connecting deeply with ourselves will bring the self-compassion we need in our life. It will also bring hope and potential into our life.
