Meet Dr. Ma

Hello, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a doctorate, based in California. After a career as a businesswoman for 14 years, I chose to pursue my true passion and calling to become a psychotherapist. I love my job and my clients. I enjoy the deep conversation and meaningful encounters with my clients.  

Being a human is hard, and each client has different challenges. I see strengths and hope in each of them, and I have my heart set on facilitating their growth and evolution. 

From my experience and research, talk therapy alone is not sufficient or efficient enough to achieve optimal outcomes. Oftentimes, our logical mind understands many things, but our body can hardly catch up with the cognitive brain and we still ruminate and suffer in the head or feel a lot of physical pain and discomfort in the body.  This is why I utilize a holistic approach incorporating a variety of modalities to help clients achieve well-being through mind, body, and spirit. Based on a client's situation, I identify an individualized method that suits the client’s situation and meets the client’s needs to achieve the best possible outcome.

My most important therapeutic foundation is the humanistic-existential approach, which values the client's basic human worth and uniqueness with a non-judgmental stand and explores the client's deeper meaning of life, struggles, dilemmas, and potential to grow and evolve. My practice also includes other evidence-based therapy practices such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EFT (emotionally focused therapy), and mindfulness exercises.
