I want to take a second to acknowledge how brave you are for seeking therapy. If you are reading this, I hope you feel encouraged by your decision to receive support and grow as a person. It takes a lot of courage to share your story and experiences to a stranger! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a BSc (Hons) in Psychological Studies in Singapore. I also have an MA in Mental Health Counseling at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in Deerfield, Illinois. Additionally, I am a certified Illinois Domestic Violence Professional (ICDVP).
I do both individual and family therapy. I work with children, teens, and adults. As a parent, I am passionate about helping family members connect and thrive in communication and conflict-resolution skills. I also strongly resonate with the struggles children and adolescents tend to face; hence, I am very passionate about supporting young individuals too.
A counseling session with me may look like processing past hurts and messages you have learned and transforming them in such a way that brings healing and long-lasting change in the present. That also includes building awareness about yourself, learning your personality type, and coping style. My goal is to meet you where you are at and come alongside you.
