I am a bilingual (English/Mandarin) psychologist working primarily with individuals and couples for the past 15 years. I specialize in working with high functioning anxiety, couples' issues, general relationship concerns, loss and grief, and the impact of traumatic incidents. If I can be the person privileged enough to join you on your journey to create the life you would love, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
I believe a thriving couples system is central to a flourishing family system. I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help couples develop a secure bond, maintained and reinforced by a new adaptive interactional pattern between the partners. Christian clients have the option to receive psychotherapy that integrates with a Christian worldview. I also employ EMDR techniques to help clients work with their troubling implicit and explicit memories and increase mind-body integration.
My goal in therapy is to understand what it is like to be you in your specific contexts and provide the new experiences and insights to help you obtain a meaningful and fulfilling life. I utilize a collaborative approach and a variety of evidence-based techniques to empower you to develop skills/solutions tailored to your unique situations. This journey often includes making bad relationships good, good relationships better, and cultivating positive emotions.
