About Me

    I believe therapy is a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create a warm and collaborative environment where we can explore what you are experiencing, recognize your strengths, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful change in your life.

    I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship or family concerns, cultural adjustment, and challenges related to school, work, or identity. I have particular experience supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate academic pressure, relationships, family expectations, and major transitions in life.

    My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, and I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. Rather than using the same approach with everyone, I work collaboratively with each client to understand their individual needs, values, culture, and goals.

    As a bilingual therapist in English and Mandarin Chinese with my own multicultural and international experience, I am especially passionate about providing culturally responsive care and supporting clients from diverse backgrounds.

    Whether we meet in person or virtually, I strive to provide a compassionate space where you can be yourself, better understand your experiences, and work toward the life that matters to you.
