I help clients to manage stress through understanding and appreciating how our bodies respond to stress, and using meditation and breathing relaxation skills to find balance and renewal. Practicing boundaries and limits, self-care, building on strengths and developing resilience are also emphasized. As an Asian immigrant, I’ve experienced the challenges of adapting to a new culture, and I am sensitive to issues related to acculturation and conflict between immigrant parents and children.
My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative, and sessions may range from silent presence to energetic discussions. I value and commit to creating a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive environment for my clients. I use therapy modalities such as mindfulness, CBT, and acceptance and commitment therapy. As a Christian, my work with clients is motivated and guided by my faith in Christ, believing and having experienced the power of grace through faith. I work with clients to be radically compassionate and honest to ourselves, valuing and validating our emotions, and building self-affirming thoughts and beliefs.
