**As of 6/14/2021, I cannot take on individual clients, however, I have a few spots left for couple therapy. Please email me if you are still interested in working with me since my case load changes from time to time. Thank you for your understanding.**
Hi there,
Thank you for checking out my profile. First of all, I want to let you know that I truly admire your courage and consideration to seek therapy because I know how hard it is to ask a stranger online for help with personal issues. Also, because I was also once in your position, I can tell you that it was one of the most life-changing decisions I have made. I was so glad for the help I received.
In my continuous effort to integrate my personal journey into my work as a professional counselor, I am committed to the belief that I will never take my client to places that I am not willing to go. That being said, I consider this opportunity to work with you as a unique human interaction and honor. I have seen many healing and successful stories in front of my eyes with my clients. I am confident of the help you will receive through therapy, even if it might not necessarily be through my service. In addition to the benefit of helping people to become unstuck or to get over the gump, I am also passionate about an additional benefit of therapy which is developing and discovering the whole person we are meant to be as we learn to work through the parts of our lives in conflict with each other or with the external world.
My professional interest and expertise include issues in emotional distress, anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, relationship struggles, and cross-cultural issues conflicts. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is one of the most current and effective neuroscience-based treatments for people suffering from trauma.
I have been married to my husband of 21 years with two daughters. Out of the personal experiences, growth and benefits from premarital counseling and marriage therapy, I am passionate about helping couples break through their cycles of conflicts and creating a safe space to facilitate healing, connection, and intimacy within the marriage.
From my involvement with organized religion, I am experienced in working with people who seek freedom in their spiritual path and clarity. I also have the privilege of living in and interacting within a multicultural context, encompassing Chinese/Taiwanese, Asian immigrants, Asian-Americans, Majority culture American, and Kenyan. I hope no matter what your cultural and ethnic background is, I would have the honor of getting to know you and walking with you for a while in this life journey.
