About My Clients
I've worked with a variety of clients over my years of practice. Much like my therapeutic approach, my clients have been an eclectic bunch. My hope is that everyone who I have the honor of working with would feel safe, seen, and understood. From life stressors to persistent conditions, I believe therapy can be helpful to anyone and everyone!
My Background and Approach
I know that finding a therapist can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. With so many options, it can be hard to figure out exactly what you need. I have worked with a variety of issues and populations and can honestly say that I've enjoyed them all. Depression, anxiety, life stressors, cultural and generational issues, and Asian American issues are just a few of the areas that I've encountered in my practice. My promise is transparency as your therapist in that if there is ever any point where I feel like we are not the best fit or I do not feel like I have the tools to help you further, this will be something immediately brought up. I would say that I practice a humanistic approach with a strong cognitive behavioral approach.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My firm belief is that I can only expect my clients to be as authentic and genuine as I am in a session. Therefore, authenticity is something I highly value and practice in my work. You won't get a blank slate with me. I enjoy using humor in my work with clients because I feel like laughter is truly good medicine and it's often in the humor that we can feel safer to get deeper. I promise to be direct, honest, but tender in how we manage the difficult topics. I'm a Christian but surprisingly have worked with mostly non-Christians in my work. I will never push my belief or value system on anyone or judge them for theirs. My goal is to love people well and to do that I have to be willing to understand and see all of them. You can find me on Instagram (hello, social media world!) at @wonder_doodles. I post frequently about lessons I'm personally learning but also lessons and encouragements I hope to impart to my followers and my clients.
