Are you a people pleaser who feels overwhelmed with helping others? Do you do everything for your family and leave no time at the end of the day for yourself? You feel overwhelmed, disconnected from who you were before children, family and the demands of your career and life. You would like to break the chains of self-doubt and overthinking. Many times throughout the day you feel you aren't doing enough, need a minute to rest but feel you can't take one. You look in the mirror and wonder who is looking back at you. You would love time off but can't justify taking it. You know it is enough and you need support.

Are you suffering and struggling in the living nightmare of an anxiety problem? Perhaps you are avoiding people, places or activities because of fear, panic or obsessive worrying. Maybe you have been suffering from a lack of sleep and feeling stressed and tired most of the time. Sleep medications and advice from friends or the internet might just make the problems worse. Maybe you're stuck in the never-ending rut of a bad habit or addiction that you can't seem to stop turning to for relief from your problems. Maybe you're unsatisfied in your relationships, overwhelmed by conflicts and a lack of closeness with people you care about.

There are times we will feel stuck in life, paralyzed by anxiety, unsure of our next steps. We try to climb out of the slump but oftentimes we do not know how.

As a therapist, I am here to walk through this journey with you, providing you with support, empathy, and guidance. I can help you understand your experiences, feelings, and emotional needs, and learn adaptive coping skills. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese （我提供普通话和广东话的服务）.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

I believe we are relational beings, and health can be cultivated in intentional, honest, and reciprocal relationships that respect and reveal our inherent dignity. Relationships with others and ourselves hold great promise and power, they can also be the focus of our pain as we move through life. The therapeutic relationship we build together acts as a staging ground and microcosm to help you renew the relationships you have with yourself and others in life. To that end, I endeavor to help you see what may be driving you while also reflecting on what uniquely revealed in your relationships and looking to increase capacity for joy.

During this time of upheaval, including Covid, political conflict, and environmental challenges, many are feeling pessimistic and overwhelmed. Some are depressed and anxious. Such distress may be layered atop previous struggles with low self-esteem, relationship issues, past trauma, and a loud "inner critic". Perhaps you worry about climate disruption or feel despair about our planetary future. Maybe you imagine you're alone in that feeling, or wonder if there’s anything you can do to impact the problem. At times all the above concerns can lead to negative health behaviors in an effort to cope. Fortunately, solutions are available.

By looking at a caterpillar, nothing in it tells us that it's going to be a butterfly. Sometimes it's also hard to imagine that our life transforming is possible, though it actually can happen. Just like the transformation of a caterpillar can occur, with patience and perseverance, in a safe and warm cocoon, our life transformation can also begin in a safe, supportive and psychotherapeutic relationship. Life is tough! Suffering and pain seem inevitable! Yet with your willingness as well as my passion and professional training, we can work together to make each setback in your life to become a setup for growth and transformation.

Communication problems exist in many families and can greatly affect intimacy, family stability, and mental health. Despite their great efforts, many parents still find their children developing psychological issues. Intense arguments, divorces, and breakups often occur when they could have been avoided. Family members often feel helpless, thinking communication is impossible. Don't give up. I support families in need, whether you want to improve interaction before marriage or are on the brink of divorce trying to save your relationship.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

Are you carrying an invisible weight from your past that keeps you feeling stuck or disconnected from your true self? When we didn’t receive the emotional support we needed in childhood, it had an invisible but profound effect on us as an adult, leaving you feeling empty, alone, and unsure of your worth. Over time, this emotional neglect can lead to life-long struggles with self-esteem, challenging relationships, lack of meaning or purpose, and even anxiety or depression. You've tried things to feel better, but as Rumi says, "maybe you're searching in the branches for what is found in the roots."

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.
