Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I have always had an interest in understanding why people are who they are and why. I started my career in criminal justice because I wanted to make a difference but when I was working in the county jail I realized people needed more than rules and enforcement to become their best selves. People need real help gaining control and understanding coping mechanisms that really works for them.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Narrative Life Coach. I specialize in helping people gain control of their life narrative.

I became a therapist because I believe people can change and grow. I get so much joy from watching my clients achieve their goals.  

Welcome! I am an LCSW in NYC.    I have been supporting clients through this pandemic to cope with anxiety and depression.  I work with compassion and non judgement. 

I have always been drawn to helping others.

I'm a licensed alcohol and drug counselor with a masters degree. I can support with mental health and/or substance use counseling. I also can complete Substance Use Evaluations and RMV risk letters.

I became a therapist because I had a counselor in high school who had a great impact on me. I have always been a highly intuitive and curious person about myself and others. In college, I went right into the field of psychology to learn all about human behavior and never stopped.

I am a therapist with immediate daytime availability. I work with teens 16 and up and adults. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood, dysregulation, body image, perinatal mood disorder, work stress, chronic illness, and pain. I am here for you to feel heard and validated. I work from a collaborative strength-based approach where we will address underlying patterns that may not be working for you anymore. I am an experienced clinician who believes in prioritizing mental health. I believe that one can cope with these issues by using skills of; attunement, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices.

I became a therapist because of the impact of my own personal counseling journey on my heart and life. Prior to my formal training, I worked in various capacities with young people and found that my favorite part was the depth of one-on-one relationships. Through the encouragement of my own therapist, my former boss, and several close friends, I decided to pursue counseling as a career. I believe it is one of life's greatest gifts to be a witness to healing and change in the lives of my clients.

I believe healing begins when we allow someone else to bear witness to and respond with care to our untold stories. It is only through courageously and honestly exploring our experiences of pain that we are able to break free from old patterns and start on a new path towards wholeness. My desire in the counseling room is to create a safe space for clients to show up with their stories, no matter how scary or painful. Through kind and curious engagement, clients can begin to make sense of their story and its impact not only on the past but also on the present. The importance of engaging my own story began in 2013 when I started on my personal counseling journey. I also spent several years working in the college ministry context and there discovered my passion for walking through life’s ups and downs with young adults. After moving back to my hometown of Orlando, I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. My counseling approach pulls from relational, narrative, and attachment models.

I think the road to me becoming a therapist began in adolescence when I took a psychology class and it was the first time I was actually interested in learning about a subject. Unbeknownst to me at the time, learning about psychology was the first opportunity I had to understand my own struggles, and this eventually led to my own therapeutic process that’s shown me the benefits of being vulnerable with a safe, trusted professional that leads to healing. My strongest motivation to continue being a therapist is my gratitude that I get to work collaboratively with my clients so that they are able to enrich their lives in the ways they feel is the most authentic.  

Hi, and welcome! I am passionate about helping my clients discover and appreciate their most authentic selves. I specialize in treating adults struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, recovering from abuse, exploring their cultural identity, and adjusting to life transitions. I am an Asian American therapist located in Dallas, TX and am available for in-person and virtual sessions. 

I became a therapist because I love helping people. I am a great listener and empathize with what people are going through. Emotions, struggles and desires connect us all as humans and I continue to enjoy being able to listen to each client's story and help them feel seen, supported and empowered.

Welcome! I work individually with teens and adults who are struggling with life stressors, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions and behavior change. I have over ten years of experience working as a counselor. I utilize evidence based therapy modalities, such as CBT and motivational interviewing. When I'm not counseling clients, I am hanging out with my kids, husband, dog and two cats. I love reading, hiking, conquering my goals in the gym and going to concerts. Please email or call to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I'd love to help!

I became a therapist because I’ve always been passionate about helping others find balance and joy in their lives.
