Asian Therapists in Schaumburg, IL

Don't know where to start? That is okay. We can start with a conversation and start processing together. To me, counseling is a place to grow a relationship, to learn about what is going on, and to have a conversation to broaden self awareness without judgement. It can be about family, work, relationships, season of life and feeling stuck, frustrated, resentful, exhausted, or numb. It's most important to me that the environment feels safe and for us to think about how change and growth can happen, how to reframe and take control of the environment around them, and to find strength and confidence to take care of yourself.

I am a passionate empath who is looking to help individuals, couples, and families grow and better themselves through goal oriented objectives and personalized interventions.
