About My Clients
Do you wake up in the morning feeling overwhelmed and anxious, only to feel the same way again when going to bed? Despite your achievements, do you still find yourself feeling unsatisfied? Our therapy involves delving into the cultural conflicts and the thinking patterns that have been holding you back and exploring how they impact your daily life. We will work together to break free from them and develop new adaptive thinking skills. My goal is to empower you to achieve lasting changes.
My Background and Approach
I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with Asian American young adults who struggle with anxiety, stress, and generational conflicts. If you are motivated to make changes, we will make a great team. I integrate Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) into our therapy. I am a good listener and an active explorer who assists you in articulating and understanding your feelings and thoughts. I would also support you in challenging your thoughts. I'm passionate about collaborating with you to achieve realistic small targets and make progress towards your goals. Teamwork is crucial for the success of our therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a 1.5 generation Asian American immigrant, I have gone through the period of thinking, "That's not what I've learned" or "I'm not used to discussing my emotions." I am passionate about exploring how what you have learned in the past is now either enhancing or hindering your personal growth. I value your personal values and identities while navigating the pressures of societal and cultural norms. This can be a challenging journey. However, therapy can provide a safe space for you to embark on this journey.
