I am genuinely a kind, patient, and non-judgmental soul. Growing up in a Chinese household, I can empathize with others who had to adhere to strict rules and struggled with depression/anxiety.  In my family, therapy was never an option. Mental health issues were never important, so I suffered from depression for 35 year.  In College, a Psychology course taught me about negative core beliefs. I learned how it dictated my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so I sought to collect evidence to counter it. Over a ten year journey of self help, my depression was reduced by around 20%. At the workplace, my boss recommended AF EMDR therapy. After only 3 months, my imposter syndrome was finally gone.  After another 3 months, all 11 of my negative core beliefs were healed and mostly gone.

Your journey to healing is meaning to me, for I have also struggled with mental health issues. I felt the pain and hopelessness.  CBT and DBT were helpful coping tools, but only AF EMDR gave me the true cathartic healing that was long overdue.  Rest assured, I can provide the guidance for growth, self-discovery, relief, cathartic release, and healing. Collaboration is key in therapy; I will respect your apprehensions and allow you to proceed at your comfort.
