Are you feeling challenged to be understood by your parents and this creates awkwardness around setting boundaries with them so that you are treated like an adult? Sometimes, if you have not resolved your conflict with your parents, your personal relationships can be impacted as well. It is easy to feel overwhelmed when your love ones seem to rub you the wrong way. As a first generation Chinese American raised in the Bay Area, I am culturally sensitive to support you healing yo childhood wounding that occurred when you felt neglected by your parents. Learn tools to return to self-approval and release guilt about not being enough.
My speciality is in anxiety, job stress, relationship stress, family stress, imposter syndrome, highly sensitive traits and low self-esteem. Clients enjoy my collaborative atmosphere and appreciate my variety of approaches that tailors to their individual needs. At times, clients appreciated the option to have therapy held at a local park such as Tilden.
My clients appreciate my genuine concern to address what is keeping them stuck. I am committed to working with my clients who want to change their life. It's not easy figuring through all of this chaos on your own. Let's work together where you can let go of any guilt of not doing it right and step into hope of a promising future.
