My Therapeutic Approaches

I believe we spend our lifetime pursuing our wellbeing. We try our best with our talents, personality, thinking, sensory and feelings capacities to optimally interact with our environment, but sometimes life throws a curve ball instead.

Brief Counseling

Perhaps this is your first time coming into counseling. You might be a bit nervous, wondering what to expect. It is very normal to feel this way. I encourage you to experience counseling as much as you can and share your thoughts and feelings as well, including the negative ones, so that we could work through it and grow. I would respect your right to terminate counseling at any time. Perhaps you want to solve some specific problem and try for a few sessions. I would work with you to clarify the problem and set out the goals and strategies.

Long-Term Psychotherapy

You might look for long-term support of your wellbeing or are interested in self-understanding. I provide the psychodynamic approach to explore your longings and conflicts in the unconscious by looking into your everyday thoughts, dreams, and experiences. Hopefully, via our joint efforts, you could attain a more satisfying and healthy state of mind.

Couple Therapy

Falling in love is such a beautiful experience. As the relationship deepens, you and your partner might develop more stability, safety, validation, and emotional connection. You might be excited to make life plans together. We all come from different upbrings and endowed with unique characteristics. Sometimes the couple could understand and appreciate the differences. Other times, they could clash on the very same differences and fights and distance ensue.

I work on providing a respectful, safe, and warm counseling environment and look forward to working with couples of various cultural backgrounds and sexual identities. I apply EFT to understand your fighting pattern by unpacking your feelings and attachment needs and facilitate positive communication to decrease your fights and enhance connection.
