Life's journey takes us through diverse landscapes, where clarity and security often intersect with uncertainty and confusion. My goal is to walk alongside clients, providing a warm and supportive presence, fostering a sense of safety and security at every turn. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to discover their authentic selves and strive to become the best version of who they are.
With a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), specializing in Mental Health, I've gained experience in individual psychotherapy with children and adolescents at the Midwestern Asian Health Association and as a social worker at the UIC College of Dentistry, advocating for patients and families to access resources and reducing barriers to dental care. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, and trauma, recognizing the unique experiences of each individual. I emphasize understanding how past experiences shape present realities. In my practice, I draw from psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices, tailoring techniques to meet individual needs.
Together, we'll explore cultural significance, fulfilling hobbies, and coping strategies like meditation and journaling, empowering clients to navigate uncharted territories with confidence. I'm committed to supporting each step of the way, collaborating to envision personal growth and fulfillment. In therapy, we'll work together to actualize your unique vision.
