I believe people are creative, spontaneous, and insightful. I view people as a whole person within the context of their family of origin, psychological state, and socio-cultural environment. Through the socialization process, we internalize the family expectation, societal values, and mainstream cultures without conscious awareness. When encountering challenges, dealing with stressful situations, facing life transitions, and unexpected events, we doubt our ability to overcome problems. Therapy is a process to reconnect with your inner wisdom, identify existing resilience and strengths, regain your confidence, & improve life quality. I utilize evidence-based theories and collaborate to build a safe relationship, where you can be creative and authentic. I use insight-oriented interventions to facilitate critical thinking in the unique context of struggles. I assist you in finding a solution, overcoming self-criticism, externalizing self-blame, enhancing relationships, & owning authority. I value an affirming & a therapeutic connection. I specialize in working with ethnic minorities, immigrants, refugees, & people in the LGB community. I help you work through stigmatized issues & make lasting positive change. Therapy is an investment & a gift you could offer to yourself. Contact me & I will walk with you. We can begin this journey together.
