Who individual therapy is for
My individual therapy clients tend to be thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive creatives and professionals who want more — more depth in their relationships, more understanding of themselves, more freedom from patterns that no longer serve them.
Common reasons people seek individual therapy with me include:
- High-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, and chronic overthinking
- Avoidant attachment and difficulty trusting or getting close to others
- Asian American identity, intergenerational family wounds, and cultural grief
- Faith deconstruction, religious trauma, and spiritual abuse recovery
- Life transitions, grief, and identity shifts
- Relationship patterns that keep repeating
My approach: AEDP + EFT
I primarily use AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and Emotionally Focused Therapy principles in individual work. These approaches share a belief that healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationship — and that our emotions, when gently explored rather than suppressed, are a profound source of wisdom.
Rather than talking about your feelings from a distance, we'll work experientially — noticing what arises in your body, following emotional threads in real time, and allowing your nervous system to have new experiences within the safety of our therapeutic relationship.
What to expect
Sessions are 50 minutes. We typically meet weekly, especially at the beginning, to build consistency and momentum. Over time, we'll find a rhythm that fits your life and your process.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation before we begin — a chance for you to ask questions and for both of us to sense whether we're a good fit.
