Life can get overwhelming at times, and it may feel like no one understands the struggles you’re going through. Although I may not have experienced them myself, I’m willing to do the work and listen to your story. I aim to create a safe and affirming space so that we can go on this journey together. And we’ll take one small step at a time.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions and adjustments, perfectionism, work and academic stress, and much more. I grew up in an immigrant Chinese household and it has helped me understand some of the unique experiences of growing up in a different culture, balancing multiple cultures, having different values, the clashing and conflicts with family, and the constant racism.

My approach to therapy is a collaborative relationship and is focused on addressing your specific concerns and supporting you. I utilize a variety of treatments, including evidence-based treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach and equip you with the skills to help you heal and regain control of your life. I also incorporate creative elements, like music, into my sessions when beneficial.
