Individual Sessions

Clients often come to therapy with a range of challenges that surface with irritability, heightened reactivity, defensiveness, self-doubt, recurring trauma, disrupted attachment, resentment, chronic burnout, feeling stagnated, overwhelmed or empty, identity quest, reflections on life purpose and grief, among many.  It is common to have a combination of issues that are intertwined with and influenced by one another.   

​

Sometimes clients also come just with the feeling that things could be better and life can be more satisfying.  In collaborative effort, our therapy will help build toolsets to navigate stressful life experiences and to achieve emotional resilience and flexibility.        

Couples Sessions

I work with couples in areas of effective communication, anger & resentment, cross-cultural issues, infidelity, and other stressors and themes within the relationship.  With our work together, couples can gain mutual clarity about their shared reality and rework the disruptive patterns.  Many couples also grow to strengthen their communication skills and continue to promote their development as a solid and functional unit.  

Session Format 

How we structure our sessions - intervals, duration, and ease of commitment -  can be important factors that affect your therapy outcome.  Those physical elements in therapy can affect how we build momentum and help maintain the subtle, incremental and meaningful movement within you. 

I offer sessions of different lengths, which you can choose depending on the density and pace of your sessions.  The needs for specific length of sessions may change as we go on.  You can also mix in-person and virtual appointments accomodating your schedule.  

Treatment Style 

My theoretical orientation is strength-based, existential and meaning-making.  I integrate therapeutic and humanistic framework from narrative therapy, acceptance & comittment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), extential psychotherapy and psychodynamics.  I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic appraoches in addition to our talk therapy.
