May Sun

I am happy to provide a 15 min free consultation to discuss the logistics. Sliding scale is available upon discussion. Together we will explore what you need and what might be helpful to you. You are part of this collaborative process and we will review the sessions regularly to adjust our journey accordingly. My approach is integrative and informed from various evidence-based theories. A little about me: “If challenges and hardships are inevitable, I hope they could at least nurture us and help us thrive in the future.” I started to think about culture and self-identity since elementary school since Taiwanese, Chinese and Korean cultures are embedded in the family. Growing up in Mainland China as a Taiwanese child provoked a lot of thinking. Both people from China and Taiwan can speak Mandarin, we seem to be similar; however, there are still some nuanced differences such as eating habits, social values, accents that reminded me that we are different. Aside from grounding myself as a minority, I became aware of cultural difference and how it significantly forms people and their thoughts and behaviors. As I grow older, I had the chance to travel or live in more cultures and countries, which broaden my horizon and make me open and tolerant to people with various backgrounds. Since high school, I formally started the life-long journey of self-exploration, trying to figure out who I am and what I want. Topics include but not limited to self-esteem, self-concept, family dynamic, attachment, education/career decisions, meaning of life. I recognized my negative emotions and tried to cope with them; I desired love and to be loved but things would go beyond my wishes; I have made decisions that I regretted which totally changed my life path. Some of these experiences are heavy and unpleasant but when I look back, I have thrived and turned the pain and lessons into my nutrition to grow. This is also the message I would like to send to my potential clients. Sometimes we do not need to be perfect, do not need to fix everything in life and is ok to accept and just try out the options we have. I am here to assist you with your journey.
