Being a parent is hard. Being a kid is hard. I can help navigate the hard! If your child is struggling with big emotions, difficult behavior, trauma or ongoing stress, play therapy may be a good fit for your family. Your child will receive play therapy and caregivers will be provided with necessary support.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

I find sitting and partnering with clients in their most vulnerable places to be a great honor, and I have found that doing so has often helped them to some of their greatest areas of growth, to an awareness of their own strengths, and to their deepest experiences of joy. This is especially true as they are met by someone on their journey who demonstrates genuine compassion, curiosity, and kindness.

People often seek therapy when they feel stuck in suffering and want to make changes in their lives. These changes can involve making difficult choices, moving in a new direction, and learning to cope with past or current painful experiences in order to exist and move through the world in a new way. I respect the vulnerability involved in seeking help and work to build the connection and safety needed to support clients in both desired growth and acceptance of present realities. I value being kind, authentic, playful, and thoughtfully honest as a person and as a therapist.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: (updated 7/9)* When in session, I want to foster safe spaces where challenging conversations and vulnerable emotions can be explored and processed, and achievements are celebrated. When stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional distress occurs, I meet my clients where they are at. Just because we can do something alone, does not mean we have to. Whatever stage of life you are in, let's work through those personal transitions and obstacles. Thus, I believe the best clinical relationships come when both of us are open, curious, and eager for the growth to come from session-to-session.

Do you practice your faith, but nothing changes? If these questions resonate with you or you're seeking more balance in your life, counseling may be appropriate for you. Counseling is not about being "broken" and having an expert fix you. Instead, it is a process that helps you identify your strengths and realize you are the expert on you. My work is to help you clarify issues and chart a path for change in a safe space.

Changes often raise fear and curiosity. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are full of curiosities and who are willing to explore unknowns and perceive unknowns as gifts. I am interested in supporting clients’ fear related to changes, and helping clients work on variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, traumas, identity development (e.g., sexual orientation and cultural identities), etc. Prior to arriving in the US, I was a mental health provider in Taiwan. In my early career, I practiced child play therapy and animal-assisted psychotherapy.
