Anxiety is more prevalent than we thought. Our endless rumination and worrisome feelings can consume us and leave us exhausted at the end of the day. Feeling like you are being torn apart by your anxiety? Taking your first step to seek help and build your toolbox with me will give you confidence in managing the anxiety.
Feeling like you're not good enough, worrying about what others think of you, second-guessing everything you've said or done, and constantly seeking for external validation? What you may need is self-acceptance and self-acknowledgement, which can lead to a peace of mind.
"Who am I?" is a very common question when we're trying to move on from our intergenerational differences. Rest assured. We're not taking away your culture but understanding it and accepting it so that we can start to explore what your unique personal values are.
Not feeling like you can fit in anywhere? Growing up in multi-cultural environment is challenging. Your family culture can be very different from the society culture. Your personal value can be different from your parents. Let's work together to enhance your values.
Graduation, job changes, getting married, family changes...and so on. Life changes can be exciting but stressful at the same time. Therapy can be helpful in supporting you to build skills to overcome any obstacles and manage stress.
Online sessions are held from the safety of your own home or a private space that is convenient for you. You do not have to be in the same city as me as long as you are a CA resident and located in CA.
CBT is a style of therapy that is more structured, focusing on the "now" instead of the past. It helps us change our unhealthy thinking patterns that lead to anxiety into more adaptive and helpful thoughts. Some clients enjoy short-term structured CBT (8-12 weeks) to improve their anxiety and stress while others prefer to use CBT skills to supplement other talk therapy styles.
Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring your upbringing and original culture. It help you gain insight on how you became who you are today. It guides us to identify obstacles that hinder our growth today.
ACT helps strengthen your values, provide direction, and clarify uncertainty about your path. It includes acceptance, mindfulness, and commitment to behavior changes. ACT is a great tool that can be used alone or in combination with other therapy styles.
EMDR helps reprocess stressful memories and reduce our intense responses to those memories. It also helps reduce some common negative self-beliefs (e.g., I'm not good enough) in order to increase our readiness to make changes. Not all individuals respond to EMDR. A thorough assessment will be needed to determine if it is beneficial for each client.
