My Approach to Helping
My approach to healing is rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly heard and understood, which is why I take a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each person’s unique needs and background.
I integrate person-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and empowerment, helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths. Narrative therapy allows clients to reshape the stories they tell about themselves, fostering a more positive and resilient sense of identity. For those struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused interventions, providing practical tools to manage emotions and build coping strategies.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in Mandarin and English, I am especially mindful of the role that culture, identity, and intergenerational expectations play in mental health. Many individuals from Asian backgrounds face stigma around seeking therapy, and I strive to break down barriers by offering a supportive and culturally informed approach. Whether working with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, or families, I tailor therapy to align with each client’s values, strengths, and personal journey.
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. My goal is to meet each client where they are, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and meaningful change. I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported, and I am honored to be part of that journey.
