SPECIALTY AREAS

Anxiety Management

Get unstuck & live your best life

I specialize in treating psychological distress that results from anxiety and depression— low motivation, fatigue, depressed mood, difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, isolation, etc. I help men and women examine deep-rooted inner conflicts, insecurity, guilt, shame, anger, family of origin, intergenerational tension and childhood trauma that manifest in perpetuating low self-worth, relationship/intimacy difficulties, career dissatisfaction, and maladaptive coping.

Men’s Issues

Move toward success that matters in your life

I have extensive experience in enhancing men’s health and well-being, including those who are willing to talk about "it" but don't know how and where to start. I help men confront unconscious cognitive distortions and overcome repetitive/obsessive cycles of coping mechanisms while reconnecting to a healthier version of inner self and lifestyle. Through navigating unique challenges in their young, midlife, and older adulthood, I am passionate about assisting men in finding a deeper sense of purpose in life. 

Unique/In-Betweenness Individuals

Redefine shame & find peace within

I work with individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside struggle to control endless voices of doubt and negative self talk. I help clients conquer unwanted self disappointment and frustration in connection with their unique self/social, career/family, racial, cultural, sexual, spiritual, fluid or in-between/intersecting identities, including all types of diversity, (bi)racial/ethnic groups, inter-racial relationships, 1st/1.5/2nd generations, expatriates and world-wide travellers.

Professional Resilience & Burnout Recovery

Bounce back & grow optimally

I’ve researched psychological resilience, burnout prevention and optimal development since my graduate training. I specialize in helping wounded healers and givers (e.g., health professionals, professors, executive leaders, startups, artists) address issues related to personal wounds, compassion fatigue, workaholism, boundary settings, grief/loss, career disappointment, life transition, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, fear of failure/rejection, parenting, and balancing work/intimate relationships.
