Specialty

1. Emotional distress and adaptation related disorders

Nuisance in everyday life could result in emotional burden, sometimes leading to adaptation disorders. Having in-depth conversations helps you figure out the source of emotional distress and find solutions. I also offer professional counseling services for clients who are troubled by more severe mental issues and their family members, helping them get through the toughest time.

2. Sense of inferiority, self-worth, and self-exploration of identity related issues

Self-worth is an evaluative idea in our self-belief. Therefore, a deep-rooted sense of inferiority is a question about self-worth. Since our thoughts guide our behavior, re-establishing self-belief and value through a process of exploration together with a professional is the best way to combat sense of inferiority.

3. Cross-cultural adaptation

As members of the global community, we might leave our homeland to pursue our dreams at some point in life. When we face cross-cultural impacts, many of our beliefs are challenged, and many difficulties need to be resolved. Cross-cultural issues can be examined in detail through professional counseling.

4. Interpersonal and relationship issues

Interpersonal relationships exist in various areas of our lives, including those with our family, friends, intimate partners, colleagues and so on. All these relationships play a role on our emotions. Parenting principles from our family of orientation as well as experience we obtained while growing up all shape our current model for getting along with people. Through professional counseling, we get to understand our interpersonal model, gain insight into what we are like in relationships, truly accept our own thoughts, and establish more reasonable interpersonal boundaries in order to enjoy richer and more wholesome interpersonal and intimate relationships.
