About My Clients
My clients are amazing people who have refused to give up even though life has handed them some incredible challenges. I respect the strength and courage it takes to reach out for help and ask for support. I love helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma histories find relief and understanding. I also help clients who are living with low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, disabilities, chronic illnesses, and chronic pain.
My Background and Approach
I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in 2013. My passion has always been working with people, and my professional background has included working and volunteering for non-profit organizations dedicated to helping people experiencing disabilities, homelessness, and other challenges. I have extensive experience counseling people with disabilities and chronic illnesses and their family members. I also carry a unique perspective as someone who grew up in a multi-ethnic family with my identity split between two worlds. I have been trained in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, meaning that I see the health of your relationships as crucial to your well-being, and I seek to understand the concerns you are bringing within the context of your larger story, which is always impacted and shaped by your primary relationships. I will bring in other therapeutic modalities and tools to our sessions when appropriate.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strive to treat my clients as I would like to be treated in therapy. Your voice and your empowerment as a person are extremely important to me, and I see you as the expert on yourself. I see my role as one who comes alongside to journey with you: to listen, to notice your strengths, and to help you leverage them to face your challenges. It would be an honor to work with you to create the future your heart longs for, a future in which you are thriving, free to fully employ your talents and live out your purpose in this world. Together, we will develop a holistic plan that will help you reach your goals while addressing the WHOLE you. No matter who you are or what you bring, I will seek to develop a healing relationship with you that will feel safe and free of judgment.
