About My Clients

Whether you're seeking relief from family expectations, struggling to integrate your multicultural identity (especially as an Asian American), experiencing the stress of transitions in life, managing symptoms of anxiety/depression/trauma, or feeling lost in your pursuit of a fulfilling life, I'm dedicated to walking this path with you.

My Background and Approach

I completed my psychiatry residency training at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn New York and completed further psychotherapy training in the interpersonal approach at William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis & Psychology. I have experience in working with diverse cultural backgrounds and understand the struggles one may face in wanting to assimilate while retaining their cultural heritage. Fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, I provide not just language accessibility, but a warm understanding of your background. Besides prescribing medications when necessary, I am a strong proponent of psychodynamic psychotherapy to process past experiences, understand ourselves better, and achieve the lives we consciously choose.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Beyond my clinical training, I carry a unique blend of experiences that shape both my approach to psychiatry and who I am as a person. Having spent part of my childhood in Hong Kong, where Eastern and Western cultures interchange, I benefitted from both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine whenever I was feeling unwell. Traditional Chinese Medicine teachings, which focuses on balance and “nurturing life,” were (and still are) deeply integrated into my family’s attitude toward health, influencing our diets and habits. Though I am trained in Western medicine, I carry these philosophies with me in my work. I have also navigated the delicate balance of incorporating my heritage into the culture I was raised in as a Chinese American. This personal journey fuels my commitment to understand the complexities of multicultural identity that many of my patients face.
