Psychotherapist
中文心理咨询师
Supported by professional training and lived experience, my psychotherapy practice has evolved into a multi-method approach, tailored to each individual’s unique experiences. As such, I am continuously adapting my methods as I walk down my own healing path.
I specialize in supporting adult individuals getting “unstuck” in life due to the impact of:
Grief
Anxiety
Trauma & PTSD
Career stress
Social Anxiety
Loneliness
A consistent feeling of “not good enough” & having trouble saying “no”
Parenting concerns
Caregiver’s stress
I employ a number of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I tailor my approach according to each client’s concerns, challenges, and unique socio-cultural backgrounds.
Safety and connection are the things I value the most in my work. I listen to the client’s distress and hopes with a caring, genuine, and open heart. I allow space for the client to take the session where they want it to go, and at the pace they feel comfortable with.
I also aim to foster hope, courage, and clarity to the therapy session; the essential goal of my work is to help the client discover, access, and trust their inner wisdom and strength. I hope that those who come by my clinic will get unstuck, reach personal goals, and continue personal growth, even after the therapy session ends.
Unfortunately, I am not available for crisis support.
