I came to understand how my childhood experiences shaped my personality, my thinking, and my behavior patterns. I felt like a door was opened in front of me to give me a whole new outlook and a deeper understanding of myself. I was like a blind person who could suddenly see. I still remember the clarity and exhilaration I felt with my new realization and I decided.
It eventually led me to come to the US to learn more about psychology and counseling. Adjusting to a completely different environment, dealing with homesickness, loneliness, and stress, and figuring out relationship issues, were overwhelming at times. Having lived in two different cultures and going through personal struggles have helped me to be more open-minded and more appreciative of people's differences, whether it be different beliefs, experiences, perspectives, or choices.
I see the strengths and resilience in all my clients. I want to help them not only see those strengths themselves but also build on those strengths to overcome life's challenges.

The American Psychological Association defines anxiety as "an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure."
Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, for instance, when you have a job interview or when you are about to become a new mom.
However, there is difference between normal and abnormal anxiety.
It becomes a problem when it stays for long periods of time, and/or is so frequent and/or intense that it interferes with your daily activities, such as job performance, school/work, relationships, and daily living.
