If you've ever struggled with this question, welcome to Skyway Counseling. A skyway is something that connects two points with an obstacle in the middle. There are multiple dynamic factors that make up our overall self. Your story is unique. Every past triumph and trauma, victory and loss, conscious and unconscious thought comes together to affect and motivate us in the present. Sometimes these factors work collaboratively and other times we find them at war with each other. Our goal is to help you build your own skyway to connect all the parts of you together. Your story is unique and I am grateful you’re choosing to share it with me. I believe that the counseling relationship should be honest, encouraging, nonjudgemental, and collaborative. I know you are capable of navigating these obstacles, whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma. In addition to the previous list, I also specialize working with transracial adult adoptees and marginalized people through trauma and identity work. My job is to create a safe and open space to support and challenge you through the tough moments. I am a psychodynamic therapist. Psychodynamic therapists operate from the belief that unresolved conflicts from our past, usually childhood, affect our present and future selves. Using this framework, I help clients understand the origins of their present issues. While I mainly use a psychodynamic lens, I also incorporate other techniques and skills like attachment and trauma work, EMDR, and DBT. I also operate from a multicultural, feminist, and social justice lens to acknowledge how the the U.S systems play a role in everyday mental health. I will also incorporate psychoeducation as needed. I am a Chinese adoptee and I grew up here in Cincinnati. I received my Bachelor of Arts in both psychology and neuroscience from Boston University in 2018 and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University in March 2023. I have been seeing clients since 2021 both in a group practice and solo practice setting. I look forward to working together!
