What makes life worth living? For many of us, it is living in alignment with the values and
beliefs that give our lives meaning. When we lose touch with that alignment, we may begin to
feel lost, confused, or disconnected not only from others, but from ourselves.

Rae is passionate about helping people move beyond self-doubt, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate a deeper connection with the world around them. Her goal is to help you cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and the underlying forces driving your thoughts and actions. By exploring the beliefs, experiences, and values that shape your identity, she guides you in discovering whether your current life truly reflects your authentic self.

Neuroscience and evidence-based interventions guide how Rae conducts therapy. The body,
brain, and spirit are intricately connected. In sessions, Rae prioritizes understanding how your
unique life experiences have been stored both physically and emotionally. Rae integrates
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavior
Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), Art Interventions,
and Eastern Meditative Practices to achieve meaningful and long-lasting growth with clients.
Rae’s specializations include trauma, OCD, anxiety disorders, relationship issues for
adolescents, adults, and couples. Rae is deeply committed to creating a space where you feel
seen, heard, and understood. She hopes to help you develop the tools and confidence to navigate
life’s challenges and better manage its inevitable ups and downs. If you’re interested in working
together, please fill out a contact form on our website. Rae looks forward to meeting and
connecting with you soon!

您是否经历过失眠、长期睡不好、胸口沉重、过度思考、食欲不振、难以与他人建立联系，或总是感到不堪重负？这些都可能是情绪疲劳的表现。在我们尚未察觉之前，身体往往已经发出了明显的警示信号，告诉我们某些地方出现了问题。
如果您已经排除了身体健康方面的原因，那么问题可能源于您的心理健康。我们常常把心理健康放在次要位置，仿佛它没有那么重要。然而，身体健康与心理健康是相互关联、共同构成整体健康的重要部分。要成为更健康的自己，我们需要同时理解并关注这两方面。
我们都熟悉快乐、兴趣、好奇与惊喜等积极情绪。然而，在亚洲文化背景下，人们往往较少被鼓励去接纳或表达羞耻、悲伤、孤独、焦虑等较为困难的情绪。事实上，积极与消极情绪都是构成完整自我的重要部分。若长期忽视这些情绪，或缺乏面对与调节它们的能力，我们便难以真正理解自己的内在需求与情感状态。久而久之，这种压抑可能导致内在冲突，甚至产生与真实自我脱节的感受。
不接纳自我，往往会以各种身心症状表现出来，例如胸痛或呼吸困难等。给自己一个机会，去理解您的心理健康，了解您的身体和大脑是如何协同运作的。现在也许正是时候，倾听身体发出的信号，迈出一步，开始关注和改善自己的心理健康。
