We are often socialized to look outward, whether it’s to our family, friends, or societal expectations in order to fit in and succeed. Therapy is an opportunity to intentionally look inward at ourselves and help us find directions to live as our most authentic self.

 

I have experience working with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I also find meaning working with immigrants and first-generation individuals who are exploring their identity and belonging while navigating challenges of acculturation, studying abroad, and immigration.

 

My therapeutic approach is social-justice informed, trauma-informed, and collaborative. In therapy, I believe it is just as important to explore our internal world as much as to examine our external environment. Working with me, you can expect to reconnect with your strengths and wisdom, and to explore your external resources and possibilities!

 

I offer free 15 minute consultations with potential clients. Please feel free to reach out to me by email or phone call.

我畢業於紐約大學的心理學碩士學位,與紐約市立大學亨特學院的社工碩士學位。過去我在紐約的數間非營利組織工作,曾在公立中學幫助青少年提升心理素質,並協助家長們了解美國公立學校的系統與資源。我也曾在社區老人中心任職,陪伴65歲以上的居家老人與他們的家人,了解長照系統與申請長照資源。在我的職涯中,我一直都致力於幫助移民,去面對語言、文化上可能帶來的挑戰以及挫折感,並積極地陪伴移民,探索自身經驗與美國環境如何塑造自我的身份認同以及歸屬感。

 

我相信每個人都值得一個溫暖、安全的空間去訴說自己的故事,並在面對困難時能有喘息的機會。在諮商的過程中,我會陪伴大家發掘自己的長處與韌性,並探索自身環境中的資源與未來的可能性。我目前提供18歲以上的成人個別心理諮商,我的專長包括:壓力調適、自我探索、移民適應、老年諮商、人際/親密關係、家庭議題、焦慮、低自尊,以及失落情緒。每個人在生命中都會遇到難關,我希望能在你自我成長的旅程中與你同行。 我提供來訪者15分鐘免費諮詢,了解適配度。
