Therapy with Me: An Individualized, Creative, and Culturally-Sensitive Approach 

Healing happens in many different ways, making therapy a personal experience. As a therapist, my goal is to take an individualized, creative, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy and tailor your experience to your needs. 

I use tools and concepts from different types of therapy such as

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – focusing on how patterns of emotions, thoughts, and behavior influence you 
• Existential Therapy – reflecting on your experiences and helping you find meaning, purpose, and strengths.
• EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) – helping you overcoming painful memories that are still affecting you

I also draw from my experience navigating in multicultural settings, being in an intercultural marriage relationship, and working as a school teacher working closely with youths and families. 

At the end, the most important thing is finding the integrative healing approaches that make sense to you in your life.

If you choose to pursue therapy with me:

First, we would first get to know each other and subsequently co-create an environment where you feel safe and comfortable to share and explore. We will talk about your needs, goals, and how you would like to be supported and guided. We will utilize various creative tools such as experiments, art, mindfulness exercises, and games to explore your self-expression and create a new toolbox of coping skills. I create a compassionate, positive, and patient atmosphere in all sessions.

I am a bilingual Mandarin speaking Chinese therapist in an inter-racial marriage. I experience many cultural differences in my daily life. 

I grew up with different boundaries, communication methods, and social norms, all of which impact my current life. I struggled to find my place in my family and community while still maintaining a sense of self. I strive to use my childhood and familial experiences to help others who are facing similar challenges. As a therapist, I create a safe, non-judgmental space for you, no matter what challenges you face.

Navigating Anxiety, Stress, and Depression for Children & Families

You are a parent who cares deeply about your child or teen. It has been so hard seeing your child struggle with anxiety, stress, or depression. Parenting has never been easy, but this has been extra challenging. 

You want to provide support for your child but are not sure how and are feeling stuck. What you and your child may need is professional guidance from a caring therapist.

For Children and Teens: A therapist provides a non-biased place to talk about things that matter to your child, subjects they might feel shy or uncomfortable talking about with family. In human development, children and teens naturally have stages where they do not want to share everything with their parents. They try to establish their own identity or are worried about how their feelings will affect their family. A safe space with a therapist can help your child process their thoughts and emotions, learn healthy coping and communication skills, and gain a more adaptive perspective on life. I can be that person for your child. I have years of experience helping children and teens with anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma heal and find new meaning and perspective in their lives.

For Parents: Parenting is challenging. When your child is experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, or trauma, it is painful to watch. I can help. For years I worked with many children and parents as a school teacher and children’s therapist. I provide support, guidance, and coaching to help parents understand their child or teen better. I help parents develop parenting and communication skills and find better perspectives on their family life. As your therapist, I can help you become a better parent to your child and reach a new level of understanding and progress in your family dynamic.
