Life has its challenges, and sometimes things don't go as planned. Whether you're dealing with life's ups and downs, overcoming personal obstacles, or looking to strengthen your relationships, I'm here to support you. As an immigrant, I personally understand the emotional and practical challenges of adapting to a new environment, settling in, rediscovering your sense of self, and staying true to your identity. This unique perspective enriches my approach, allowing me to connect deeply with individuals from varied backgrounds who are facing similar journeys. 生活时常会充满挑战,但我们可以聊聊。
I have developed a deep understanding of mental health disorders. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices combined with a trauma-informed perspective. I firmly believe in the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can freely and courageously explore their personal experiences.
I am a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and de-stigmatization within Asian communities. Together, we can explore effective strategies to manage stress, improve your relationships, and foster a fulfilling life amidst the ups and downs. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing, and find the resilience and strength of you.
