Couples Therapy

Highly skilled in conflict resolution, Dr. Jean coaches couples in developing healthy interaction patterns to resolve the everyday conflicts couples face. Rather than focusing on the surface-level conversation or “content,” she helps couples examine patterns in their relationship and develop skills to build healthy ways of communicating needs and emotions. 

By learning to shift perspectives and focusing on activating emotions and patterns of their interactions, couples are equipped with the relationship tools to resolve conflicts together. 

Unique to Ascentia Counseling and Psychological Services is its expertise and reputation for working with intercultural couples to overcome cultural barriers. Challenges faced by intercultural couples can often be unique and magnified. Fluent in English, Mandarin and Taiwanese, Dr. Jean’s specialization in the cultural influences that challenge relationships provides clients with insight into the complex layers of multi-cultural relationships and families, as well as its influences on the development of self-view.

As a result of working with Dr. Jean, many couples have left therapy with:

• new tools to solve their own problems
• ways to enrich their connection
• and a renewed hope for their relationship
