You're an Asian-American professional who has achieved much in your life, and yet, despite all of your successes, you're still unhappy. You find yourself angry with other people, worried about how things will turn out, disappointed when things don't go your way, and frustrated with all of the above. You know that there has to be more to life than your robotic routine, but you haven't been able to figure out what that is yet. I was in the same situation that you're in, and I've learned how to do better. I speak from personal experience, not from book learning. I specialize in helping Asian-American professionals bridge the gap between cultures, overcome their harsh inner critic, and develop true confidence and self-respect. Happiness is your natural birthright. It is my privilege and joy to work with clients and help them discover what is blocking them from the happiness that is already inside of them. If you would like to work with me and discover more of what's in you, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session together is different from other sessions. I will talk to you a little about how therapy works and what you can expect. We will then discuss what's going on in your life that's bringing you in to therapy. After that, I'll ask some additional questions so that I have a broader picture of what needs to be addressed in treatment together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use skills and techniques from multiple schools of thought, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and mindfulness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I offer practical advice and skills that I have used myself and that have helped make my life better. I do not talk theoretically, but rather from personal experience. The question is, are you willing to implement what you learn in therapy? That's the key difference between the people who benefit and the people who do not.
