Mandarin & English-language therapy: empowering you to tune in to your body, listen to your emotions, and find the relationships you want.

I understand the pain of growing up separated from your parents, especially while struggling with the challenges of immigrating to a new culture.

Like many of us raised in Asian cultures, I had nobody to talk to about my emotions. I focused on achieving everything expected of me, while struggling to deal with my overwhelming feelings & loneliness.

I used to think I had to do everything by myself.

My own experiences with therapy taught me that help is available, and my feelings aren’t a problem: they are there to help me understand what has been missing from my life.

I wish to pass this healing on to you, helping you develop your own grounded, conscious, and loving state of being.

During our session, I want to offer you a few new perspectives on how you see yourself. The way your childhood with your parents changes the relationships you get into. How your body connects to your feelings and needs, and can support you instead of blocking you.

I’m here to walk you through:
1) Healing childhood wounds from parents who weren’t there for you.
2) Discovering your deepest needs and building a fulfilling life around them.
3) Building security and intimacy in your relationships.
4) Expand your capacity for sexual pleasure and erotic connections in your life.

My training is in attachment theory, somatic trauma therapy, the Somatica Method of sex coaching, EMDR, yoga and meditation.
Together, we can build a secure therapeutic relationship to repair your attachment wounds.

How Does Counselling Work?

My focus in therapy is connecting your body with your emotions, using Somatic Attachment Therapy, Somatica Method of Sex Coaching, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

What we can work on together:

  • Emotions: How to listen to your feelings and learn from them.
  • Love: Find the love you need, and learn how to build relationships & intimacy.
  • Attachment: Heal your unmet childhood needs.
  • Sexuality: Explore your sexual identity and erotic desires, and learn how to express it in an authentic way.
  • Trauma: Transform the legacy of your painful past into a rite of passage towards reclaiming your true power and whole self.
  • Asian-American Identity: Discover the strengths from all sides of your cultural backgrounds.
  • Well-Being: Achieve balance and healthy living in your life, while cultivating joy, pleasure, energy, and vitality.

Additional offerings I bring to my therapy:

  • Guided Meditation & Breathwork
