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.

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.

If you allow me to partner with you, we'll work to create a safe professional relationship in which you can learn to identify your needs and pursue them in healthy ways.
My guess is that you’re searching for a therapist because either you or someone you love is feeling stuck—and you’re searching for a way to get unstuck. Feeling stuck is a really helpless feeling—and it can be painful when we feel alone in our stuck-ness. I believe that that pain speaks to our human design for relationship—for a life of connection with God and others. We were created to be in relationship, but unfortunately, our beautiful, yet flawed humanness makes it difficult for us to fulfill this design.

"I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." - Brené Brown I agree. You've already taken a courageous step. I hope to begin a counselor/client relationship that I believe will be a helpful, rewarding, and healing process. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome! I'm glad you've taken this courageous step towards self-discovery and growth. As a fellow immigrant who moved after turning adult, I deeply understand the frustrations, confusions, and self-doubts that are difficult to recognize and tell. Cultural differences, identity issues, economic pressures, relationship challenges, and personal aspirations, all can be so motivating while suffocating.

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.
