I also work with clients with relationship issues to overcome marital conflict, divorce, separation, co-parenting and adult children issues.
It is daunting to decide to see a therapist, especially if you are not familiar with clinical treatment. Sometimes you need help uncovering thoughts and feelings regarding concerning matters. Are you so anxious, depressed, and angry that you feel overwhelmed? Or do you want to be a more social, confident, and positive individual? Each client is unique. The ultimate goal of therapy is to allow a client to learn about themselves in order to be more proactive and live the fullest life possible.

Listening and empathy are critical elements to creating and maintaining a trusting, safe and therapeutic relationship. This is first and foremost how I treat and hold my clients. Within this environment I work with the client to tease out and understand their issues and recognize behaviors and patterns. I assist them in accepting who they are and I collaborate with the client to determine their desires as well as find their own answers. I use a psychodynamic frame, but utilize an eclectic approach to suit the client's comfort level.

Just as we learn spoken language as children, we learn an unspoken language of relationship. Just as the words we hear become the words we speak, the way we're treated becomes the basis for how we treat others, and how we expect to be treated by the people in our lives. We learn to define ourselves according to the terms by which we were defined, but most of us suspect that there's more to the story. There is.

Are you struggling with a traumatic experience, unsure how to resolve its effect on your life? Looking to improve a relationship? Maybe, you’re experiencing codependency, or narcissistic abuse, and making sense of it all seems overwhelming. Have you noticed an increase in anxiety? Or perhaps, you simply want to make a change, so you're exploring why you think and behave as you do. People seek therapy for many reasons, but almost everyone does so to relieve some kind of pain. I believe relief and healing can be found through our work together, so you can experience your more ideal life.

I specialize in relationship issues, couples work, anxiety, depression, trauma (particularly relational trauma, childhood trauma, and medical trauma), and grief and loss.
Therapy can feel daunting. What should I talk about? What if I’m not sure where to start? What if nothing big happened this week? In the space we create together, you get to be exactly who you are, where you are, and with whatever you bring to the table. As human beings, we all have basic needs that include safety, belonging, and connection. When our needs aren’t being met, it can feel difficult to break unhelpful patterns or make positive change. You might be experiencing negative self talk, unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior, symptoms of depression or anxiety, or problems in your relationships. I'm here to help!

I’ll help you understand each other better and inoculate your relationship against future issues.
Are you a new parent struggling to feel understood by your partner? Do you ever feel like you’re having the same argument over-and-over again, and wonder why it can’t be resolved? Do you hope that you could feel more connected to your partner, but are unsure how to move past things that have happened between you? Studies show the transition into parenthood has the most negative impact on relationship satisfaction. The stress of dual careers, the distraction of our online lives and social media, and the demands of parenthood, all contribute to this feeling of being alone in your relationship.

For greater than 20 years, I have enjoyed working with a number of culturally and diagnostically diverse adults and couples to address their specific needs including acculturation problems, relationship distress, anxiety, and depression, and have integrated a variety of interventions that would best serve them.
As we all have heard, "Life is a journey." Therefore, as with any "road trip," once in a while we may need to stop, check our path, and refuel before continuing onward. As a practicing clinical psychologist, I am committed to working with my clients to help them explore a variety of life paths and detours in order for them to reach their destinations and achieve subjectively important, and oftentimes difficult to achieve goals.

Perhaps you feel trapped by other people's expectations and our society's expectations of you. Perhaps, it is you who set high expectations for yourself that you cannot seem to meet whether it is about your appearance, your career, your relationships, or your sexual and gender identities. As a recovering people pleaser and a queer Asian therapist, I understand it can be a challenging journey to liberate yourself from all the "impossible" expectations and to find the kind of life you prefer to live. You want to show up in everything you do and in every relationship as your authentic self.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
