Her Approach

Chi Chi creates a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their story, gain insight into their relational patterns, and strengthen the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Her approach is grounded in family systems theory and evidence-based practices, helping clients understand how past experiences influence present dynamics and choices. Therapy with Chi Chi is a collaborative journey, and her goal is to help each person feel more connected, confident, and fulfilled as they move through life’s seasons.

Who She Works With

Chi Chi specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate transitions, strengthen relationships, and develop a deeper sense of clarity and confidence.

In individual therapy for ages 14 and up, she supports clients navigating life transitions and identity changes, understanding relationship patterns and dating challenges, managing anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns, healing and rebuilding after divorce or separation, and exploring family-of-origin and relational dynamics.

In couples therapy, she helps partners improve communication and deepen emotional intimacy, navigate commitment and prepare for marriage or partnership, strengthen connection through shared goals and life transitions, and gain clarity through discernment counseling.

In family therapy, she works with families to strengthen parenting and co-parenting relationships, resolve conflict and improve communication, and adjust to transitions such as divorce, relocation, or blending families.
