WELLNESS AND CONTENTMENT AT HOME, AT WORK AND IN LOVE.
WITH KAREN YU, LMFT
WELCOME. STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT IN YOUR LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE YOUR STORY. BEING SMART IS ABOUT SEEKING THE RIGHT THERAPIST TO SUPPORT YOU IN GETTING OVER THE HURDLE OF FEELING STUCK.
Are you ready to do some deep work? Being a thoughtful thinker and feeling overwhelmed by your emotions can make living difficult. Perhaps, you are not like others who are able to go to parties or be in large crowds and not crash when you return home. You may be asking yourself why is everyone telling you that you are too sensitive. If you are tired of shutting yourself down and struggling to have a healthy relationship with your emotions, you’ve come to the right place.
I specialize in working with people who consider themselves sensitive which causes them to feel easily overwhelmed with life. I have met Elaine Aron and was honored to do some work with her. She coined the term “Highly Sensitive Person”. The term HSP means that you are among the 20% of the population who has a highly tuned nervous system. All of your life, you may have tried to fit in with the majority and that may have caused you to feel miserable. It’s time to love who you are and the gifts that you have as an HSP.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You may be caught in a web of past hurts when people told you that you were too sensitive. I invite you to explore your stuck feelings with me in an environment where I take things at your own timing and do so with gentle care.
Congratulations on exploring therapy. I am trained in different approaches. Many of my clients have shared a similar feedback as this client who stated, “You are very calm and professional to work with. You treated my vulnerable material with care and your variety of approaches was a big plus”.
I am so excited for you that you are taking the first step towards wellness and contentment. If any of my words resonate, I invite you to schedule a free consultation.

WELLNESS AND ANXIETY EXPERT
I've been a therapist for over a decade, and am committed to helping people transform their lives with therapy that goes deeper than just talking.
I am passionate about working with professionals in the fields of medicine, education and technology—specifically those from Asian American immigrant families, as I come from one myself and understand firsthand the pressure to be successful and the difficulty of releasing the heavy burden around feeling guilty when your needs clash with a family member.
Do you find yourself feeling stuck due to the following:
Overburdened, overworked, and flat-out exhausted with no time to enjoy life
Afraid you earned your dream job, but it doesn’t live up to your expectations
Unhappy with your love life or afraid to get involved in one at all
Pain of dealing with loneliness
Having difficulty balancing your career and delaying a gratifying life
Chronic physical pain and afraid that it won’t get better
Worried brain that doesn’t stop overanalyzing or overthinking
Communication breakdown with loved ones.
And I’m going to be completely honest with you: I’ve been there too.
My own experience of being insecure with my own decisions led me to the realization that something had to change.
And that something was me.
I had to learn to trust my own decisions by being determined to not let other people’s opinion of me be as important as my own. I was a follower as well as a caregiver of other people’s needs. This made me into a people pleaser.
And, I had to learn to put myself first. But, it felt like such a selfish act. I took so many courses on learning the importance of self-care. What really shifted me was to learn how I talk to myself.
I’ve spent my career helping people of all ages transform survival-driven patterns into emotional stability, self-trust, and thriving lives. Let’s do a free 15 minute consultation to see if I can help you get unstuck.
