About Individual Therapy
What issues do you work with in therapy?
I work with adults and elders around various concerns including (but not limited to) challenging family dynamics, relationship issues, chronic illness and cancer, grief, and depression and anxiety. Within these dynamics, I have a particular focus on first- and second-generation immigrants of East Asian backgrounds. In therapy, I walk you through the work of developing insight, improving confidence, and building resiliency.
What should I expect from therapy?
The Process
Therapy is a space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and worries and fears without shame or judgement, and therapy can look many different ways depending on what you hope to get out of therapy.
Sometimes my clients choose to work on a long-standing mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or grief and loss issues.
Other times folks start therapy as a way to develop strategies for personal growth and/or life skills.
And other times folks come into therapy during periods of significant transition or stress, like interpersonal conflicts, receiving a medical diagnosis, struggles with self-worth and self-esteem, or trauma.
Therapy can help anyone who has a desire to learn more about themselves and make positive changes to create the life you want.
The Logistics
All sessions are currently held online, via a secure telehealth platform, Jane.
This makes therapy much more accessible– You can join from anywhere using a phone, tablet, or computer. All you need is a private-enough space and a secure internet connection to access therapy. No longer is an inconvenient commute needed to access therapy.
