Who I Work With

I work with adults, couples and families who struggle with: • Attachment and relational trauma • Complex PTSD (CPTSD) • Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or emotional numbness • Repeated patterns in close relationships • Chronic tension, shutdown, or feeling unsafe in the body • The impact of early childhood experiences and immigration stress. Often, these difficulties are not only psychological, but are held in the body and nervous system.

My Approach (Psychoanalytic + Somatic/IFS/EMDR)

Relational Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to explore unconscious patterns, early attachment dynamics, and how past relationships live on in the present therapeutic relationship.

Trauma-Focused Body-Oriented Sensorimotor (Somatic) IFS EMDR Psychotherapy to work directly with the body’s responses —breath, tension, collapse, impulses to fight, flee, or freeze —helping the nervous system complete what was once interrupted.

Together, we do not only “talk about” emotions, but gently experience and regulate them in the body and in relationship.

What Sessions May Feel Like

In our work, you may begin to notice: • How your chest tightens when you feel unseen • How your shoulders brace when you expect criticism • How your body shuts down when closeness feels dangerous • How certain emotions emerge only when you feel safely accompanied We move at a pace that respects your nervous system, allowing safety, curiosity, and connection to gradually replace survival.

For Mandarin-Speaking Clients 我提供普通话心理治疗。很多情绪与创伤记忆是储存在母语和身体中的。在中文中被理解，常常能让更深层的感受自然浮现。我结合关系取向精神分析与体感/IFS/EMDR心理治疗，协助来访者从依恋经验、情绪模式与身体反应三个层面整合自我。
