“Start before you are ready”
Hey there — I’m Christine.
I’m an Asian American therapist based in Southern California and I’m available to serve clients in California through online therapy sessions.
Those who come to see me are generally Asian American working professionals in their 20s-40s who are going through life transitions. Maybe you want to build your confidence in finding your voice and power? Maybe you have gone through a significant loss? Or maybe you want to simply live more authentically with a life that aligns with your goals and desires? I can help with that!
I also specialize in grief and loss. I have been practicing for over 8 years and have worked at several hospice and home health companies as a medical social worker providing grief and loss counseling for the terminally ill and their family members. Loss can mean many things, but some examples include: loss of a relationship, parent, friend, pet, job, physical ability, or cognition.
Those who come to see me are interested in bettering themselves. They may want to learn how to manage their stress, and gain more self-awareness and confidence. Sometimes my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, and may be going through a major transition in life. Clients that see me are interested in feeling “unstuck” in their lives and have a desire for change and a desire to move on. Does it feel too difficult to move forward after having a significant loss? Allow me to guide you in helping get out of that “funk.” My objective is to have my clients leave therapy feeling that they are in control of their lives and confident in their choices.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey with me, then I invite you to schedule a free consultation or schedule a session with me.
