Individual Therapy

Please note that I offer only online psychotherapy at this time . 

Do you have a hard time concentrating on things that used to interest you? Are you anxious, depressed, and troubled by unnamed feelings? Do you feel stuck but hesitant to make changes? Do you feel lonely and want to cultivate more satisfactory relationships? Do you want to manage life stress in a more effective manner? 

I can assist you to find the way.

I have worked with many individuals, helped them improve their coping with a variety of issues from mood disorders to behavioral problems, and assisted them to successfully lead changes into a more balanced, connected, and energized life. I would like to support you to make that happen. 
I provide both short-term and long-term individual therapy.

Couples Therapy

Please note that I offer only online psychotherapy at this time . ​

Do you and your partner get stuck in the same issues again and again and can't seem to find an effective solution? Do you find "cold wars" or "screaming matches" start to hi-jack your relationship, and it becomes hard to connect feelings of love with your partner? 

Successful marriages also have difficult moments; what makes a difference is how we deal with those moments.
 
As a couples therapist, I work on understanding the position of both you and your partner, and help you to effectively communicate your emotional needs and understand those of your partner. With practical steps in and outside the session, I help you to reconnect with the deep sense of love and trust.

Iowa State Licensed Psychologist
Certified AEDP Therapist & Supervisor

I have lived in China, Canada, and throughout the U.S. I obtained my doctoral degree at the University of Florida. During the past ten years, I have worked with a wide range of clients at hospitals, college counseling centers, and community crisis centers. I also provided training and clinical supervision for pre-doctoral interns and other trainees. My research has mostly focused on the psychological implication of perfectionism, the use of affects in therapeutic change, cross-cultural counseling and supervision. Since my arrival in Iowa, I have felt warmly welcomed in the heartland of the country. 

I started studying Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP) since 2009 and in 2012 I started supervision with Dr. Diana Fosha and systematic training with AEDP Institute. Dr. Fosha is the founder of AEDP and the AEDP Institute. This therapy approach, in conjunction with my humanistic foundation, family systems theories, and mind-body techniques, has generated the most profound transformance for my clients in a relatively short period of time. 

I work with a strength-based, change-focused approach, from assisting individuals to quickly regain their “footing” in the middle of crisis, improving their coping with circumstantial stressor and pre-existing psychological vulnerability, to healing from complex past trauma. I believe that life challenges pose a unique opportunity for individuals to grow, to gain better knowledge about themselves, and to expand their immediate regulating realm and long-term resilience.
