About Me
Being able to understand why you feel the way you do about things is worth exploring. If you're feeling "stuck", burdened or in a frustrating relationship, I would like to help you connect with yourself through self awareness and exploring those feelings together. Once you talk about those difficult things, it will allow you to connect with your own emotions and heal what feels broken. Hope is what you need.
Intergenerational Culture Conflict can be something that needs to be processed. I can provide a safe space where anger, sadness, and frustration can be explored. Keeping silent and being the good Asian or the model minority is what is often expected of us. This involves not only our own self-perception but the perception of the world and what society expects of us. We not only have our own expectations of ourselves, but this comes from our families, the Asian community at large and our own circles. We are taught to keep our feelings at bay and keep secrets.
Treatment Approaches
Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, Family / Marital, Narrative Therapy
Languages Spoken in Addition to English
working knowledge of Cantonese
Groups Offered
Keeping silent and being the good Asian or the model minority is what is often expected of us. This involves not only our own self-perception but the perception of the world and what society expects of us. We not only have our own expectations of ourselves, but this comes from our families, the Asian community at large and our own circles. We are taught to keep our feelings at bay and keep secrets. This group will explore and help guide this process of challenging emotions, thoughts, and feelings regarding our experience. Through thoughtful questions, guidance and empathy discussions and processing will take place. This will include making art to find expression and use creativity to as an important outlet. Topics such as Intergenerational trauma, parent’s expectation, guilt, shame, and identity will be explored. We will meet on Thursdays at 3:00 PM until 4:30 PM. Weekly for eight weeks. Time can be rearranged if group members require alternate time slot and group leader has availability.
