About My Clients
I strongly believe in a warm, flexible, and collaborative approach to counseling wherein I support and works together with you in order to reach your goals. I recognize that each individual has their own unique personal experience and path to recovery, which is why I strive to provide a holistic approach that takes your age, culture, heritage, language, faith, gender identity, sexual and affectual orientation, life experience and beliefs into account.
My Background and Approach
I counsel from a person-centered approach but I incorporate skills from other counseling theories, such as CPT, CBT, and Expressive Arts therapy, etc., based on what best fits clients’ needs. I am an avid lover of anime, video games, D&D, and K-pop which I include in my therapeutic practice. I welcome humor and love using examples from pop culture as a means to relate to my clients and/or provide them with different perspectives (I love using metaphors!). I also love playing video games with my clients in session. Video games and play allow clients to freely express themselves without the pressures of daily life, which helps me see your authentic self. Whether the video game itself is a therapeutic tool that we can use to learn more about yourself or is a means to break the ice, it is something that I love to incorporate in session if clients are willing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that are the most beautiful when they are their most authentic selves. I want to help you find out who that is, how to express who that is, and how to love that person. I have a passion for social justice and working with minority communities and helping them find their voice.
