Are you feeling stuck with a sense of discomfort – that cannot be easily explained? Are you struggling with the idea of ” I should be happy.” Are you struggling with culture and family conflicts?
When you are feeling stuck with unwanted emotions today, I will patiently work with you to explore how you became stuck so you can make changes to move forward.
People often try hard to move forward when facing life challenges. You may work harder at the same thing and hope for the new result. Looking at other options helps you not just work harder but to try new ways of doing things that help you overcome life’s challenges.
Yet, if you are not aware of how you have come to those decisions, such as interpretations of your emotions and small decision makings that lead to a big decision, you may find yourself repeating a similar negative cycle that only brings you back to the sense of dissatisfaction.
I believe that taking time to pause, kindly accepting who you are, and treating yourself with compassion is effective to help people heal from emotional pain and grow as a person.

I became a therapist after twenty years of corporate experience and my own life challenges, such as divorce, blended family issues, professional burnout, and cultural issues. I find working with individuals, couples and family who are motivated to live their life fully are honorably rewarding.

Is it normal to feel this bad? I feel guilty and weak for getting help like this. I know there are people dealing with problems much worse than me.
Do I need to tell you everything?
I want to save my marriage/relationship. Can you help me?
You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
