About Me

Hello, I‘m a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist based in Manhattan. If you visit my website, you may be experiencing a challenging time and seeking a safe space to process. I invite you to take a slow, deep breath and keep reading my website.

Being with vulnerability and authenticity in relationships can be crushing and intimidating sometimes. It brings us heavy emotions. We often have no words for it while desiring to relieve the heaviness. My work aims to help clients foster their awareness of emotions, needs, and compassion to empower themselves with greater adaptability and resilience. The journey will involve recognizing pain, feelings, grief, acceptance, and growth.

I specialize in working with relationships on communication, mixed-race marriage, conflicts, and improvement. Within therapy, I gently encourage clients to explore past emotions in their interactions to clarify their unmet needs. Many clients express that the space for the dialogue about feelings has been missing for a long time. “Feeling safe and genuine” in learning communicate emotions is always the most common feedback from my clients. Meanwhile, I introduce the applicable communication skills to have my clients practice and take away from this experience.

Further, clients will build a new level of emotional accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement. Through active listening and mutual understanding, I help partners and family members to be responsive but less reactive to intense emotions. Clients can thus hold up healthy boundaries with their loved ones.

I earned M.Ed. and Ed.S. degrees in counselor education and marriage and family therapy from University of Florida, providing individual, couple, and family counseling in English and Mandarin.

Hi 很開心你/妳來到我的治療室,我是Rich,我是一位雙語咨詢師提供中文以及英文的服務,我了解在作為移民、留學的海外華人多少都會遇到難以跨越的困難,這些困難不僅讓我們在生活中窒礙難行,偶時對於心理的壓力也是無處消化。雖然在美國有許多的心理諮詢服務,但當我們在敘述感情、親情、情緒及感受時,沒有任何語言能夠與自己的母語比擬之深刻,以母語作為橋樑也是我所希望能夠給予將要和我一起工作的你/妳。

我身為一位家庭與婚姻咨詢師,我的工作主要是促進個人在關係中的情緒理解/表達與自我同理,從這過程中培養適應力與心理韌性。與我工作的個案中包含焦慮、憂鬱、創傷、關係困難、自我認同、身心障礙困難與慢性疾病導致的窘境。我的治療將會鼓勵你/妳探索過去的情緒經歷、表達模式以及關係架構,並且透過情緒練習及消化來建立一套更健康的情緒表達能力,藉此,你/妳能夠在與所在乎之人有更深刻的理解與有效的溝通。

我畢業於佛羅里達大學心理諮詢教育所且習得婚姻與家庭治療專長,提供個人、伴侶及家庭中英文心理諮詢服務,請隨時與我聯繫,我期待與你/妳一起工作。
