My goal is to help each individual attain a more complete self-understanding and heal from past trauma, including those related to adoption and cultural experiences, particularly within the Asian community.

Family Therapy and Dyadic Child Therapy

Family Therapy and dyadic child therapy can be essential for developing better communication skills, resolving conflict, and creating more flexible boundaries between loved ones. Many families, including those navigating adoption or experiencing trauma, seek therapy due to adverse events or crises such as significant loss, divorce, behavioral issues, or constant arguing. Children and their caregivers, especially in Asian cultures, need support and solutions to thrive. Attachment and family therapy can strengthen family bonds by resolving old interaction patterns and creating space for healthy, rewarding connections. Approaches like EMDR and IFS can also be beneficial in addressing trauma and enhancing these therapeutic processes.

Couples Therapy

Most couples, including those navigating the complexities of adoption or dealing with trauma from past experiences, struggle at some point in their relationship and benefit from additional support. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples to deepen connection and safety in a partnership, fostering a more satisfying and secure union. Through techniques like EMDR and IFS, I work with each of you to improve communication and break negative patterns, enabling each person to get his or her needs met, which is especially important in diverse relationships, such as those involving Asian backgrounds.

Our Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives, especially for those dealing with trauma related to adoption or cultural identity, such as in the Asian community. Through counseling and treatment, including techniques like EMDR and IFS, we are able to help you recover the motivation, perspective, meaning, and joy that you once had in your life.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals, including those who have experienced adoption or traumatic circumstances, can face symptoms related to trauma. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, and hopelessness may linger after traumatic events. We can assist you in overcoming these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing, utilizing approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you find peace.

Relationships

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples, including those who may have experienced trauma related to adoption or cultural dynamics, such as Asian heritage, and are looking to strengthen their emotional connection at all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions, which may incorporate techniques like EMDR or IFS, are held with both partners and provide a supportive environment to discuss issues and explore solutions aimed at enhancing your relationship.
