My belief is that counseling is most effective when taking a collaborative and holistic approach. Every individual is unique in their needs and the time it takes to address them. I strive to create a strong, therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, respect, responsibility, empathy, attentiveness, and open-mindedness through communication. My goal is to offer you a safe and supportive space, to walk with you in your journey, explore aspects of the 'self' that you would like to build on, and discover strengths that can be used in your present and future to have the life that you desire.

Therapy is a joint process and our partnership will provide a strong foundation to equip you with self- agency to develop new patterns and create a life closer to your ideal and recalibrate your relationship with yourself and others.
Creating an engaged therapeutic relationship is where we start. I became a therapist because I believe in the power of relationships. Moved by my own experiences, I wanted to guide others to push past perceived limitations, obstacles, and fear to live a full and meaningful life. We all have the ability to grow, heal, and move forward. I have over 20 years of experience providing individual and group therapy, focusing on parent coaching, family systems work, and navigating depression and anxiety. I have sat across and heard many stories of loss and courage with an open heart - let's work together to explore yours.

The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others. You are people who experience hardships in life transitions, struggle with identity issues, have relationship conflicts, seek healing from traumatic experiences, suffer from social injustice and people who seek personal growth.

My integrated approach touches on the couple’s internal systems that includes the seat of consciousness, the Self, and their protective and wounded younger parts that get triggered causing confusion and chaos within the relationship.
I am a WA state licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. In working with couples, I integrate three evidence-based approaches that include Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Internal Family Systems Couple Therapy, and Gottman Method Couple Therapy. My integrated approach touches on attachment needs and fears. Fear of rejection and abandonment while longing for connection. The emotional disconnection leads to a pattern of push and pull in a couple’s predictable negative cycle of interaction.

My experience includes working with relationship challenges, affairs, sexual identity, depression, anxiety, high tech work related stress, career concerns, loss, infertility, parenting, and various life transitions.
The stressors of day to day tasks can drown out the voice that may have deeper connection to your intuitive and wiser self. Being in therapy can potentially allow you to listen to yourself in a unique and meaningful way. My hope is to provide an empathic environment to explore and challenge some of the barriers, often self-created, keeping you from your goals. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families.

Choosing a mental health counselor must be an attentive and conscientious course of action. I offer both individual and group therapy to help increase your self esteem and shame resiliency, combat perfectionism, and to foster your journey towards authenticity, vulnerability, and embracing your story.

I am specialized in supporting people cope with anxiety and depression that can occur in life transition, vocational or relationship stress, significant loss, having a new medical diagnosis, etc.
I am an Asian family therapist serving therapeutic needs of children, individuals, couples and families. I help clients gain awareness of their internal processes and the way they engage their loved ones and community meaningfully. People can integrate this self-understanding into their current life narratives, or in another word, 're-story' their life experiences. As we change the way we see ourselves, people and the world, we can choose to live differently and purposefully. When coming to my office, you will be invited to share your life stories, and I will listen as your editor.

I'm passionate about working with individuals who struggle with body image, shame, disordered eating & relationship issues and want recovery.
Accepting new clients! Feelings illuminate needs & needs require action. There is a unique connection between your emotions & your feelings. Is healing, growth & change possible for me? Can someone really help me overcome this dark depression or intense anxiety? Is it possible to find my voice? How can I recover from disordered eating? Will I ever be free of this addiction? Am I the only one feeling like this? Can our relationship rebound after this betrayal? What's wrong with me/him/her/them/us? Questions like these are worthy of asking and it takes courage to seek and find the answers.

In relationship work, we focus on changing the negative cycle of communication and work toward the repair.
Are you in a relationship and still feel alone? Do you find yourself feeling angry all the time? Have you started to lose hope in your relationship? It doesn't have to be that way. Most couples learn that it isn't their partner they are tired of, rather the problem is the negative cycle that takes over every time they try to talk or connect. Individually, we can focus on easing anxiety and depression, boosting your self-esteem and setting boundaries where necessary.

Because so much of our work will depend on our therapeutic relationship, you must get a sense of who I am, and consider whether I am someone with whom you can develop a connection.
The work we do is collaborative; it requires us both to be present and fully committed to your journey. My clients are honest about their strengths, virtues, successes and growth areas; curious about their emotions, triggers, and patterns; and committed to designing their lives in a meaningful way. Depending on their inner resources, needs, and concerns, I utilize a tailored, strengths-based approach to promote useful life goals through insight and action. This can be achieved by integrating a variety of modalities, both evidence and non-evidence based; and drawing from my personal, professional and spiritual background.

Special interests include: loneliness, anxiety/panic, technology and relationship, and emotionally charged/distant couples.
Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

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.
