What does it feel like to work with you?
I hold unconditional positive regards (showing complete support and acceptance) towards my clients. I listen to clients calmly and attentively with a supportive heart. I also pay great attention to cultural sensitivity in therapy. People often feel easy to talk to me and be understood.
What is your specialty?
I work with individual adults, couples, and families. I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders caused by various kinds of issues, including family of origin, interpersonal problems, low self-esteem, loss of loved ones, trauma, life transitions, etc. I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework and techniques to assist my clients.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I decided to become a therapist in the healing journey of my childhood trauma. I found that people may look fine on the outside, but they are hurting and suffering inside. I have the passion to provide a safe and trustworthy mental space for people to share and process their emotional pains, so that they can experience more of true relief and happiness.
