About My Clients

Leeway means flexibility and resilience—the ability to adjust your course in life while staying true to yourself. Whether you’re a young professional navigating high expectations, a first responder carrying heavy experiences, or someone feeling stuck between cultures, I provide compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed care tailored to your journey.

My Background and Approach

With over a decade of experience in mental health crisis response, I’m here to provide you with compassionate, culturally responsive support in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego, a Master’s in Clinical & Abnormal Psychology from Swansea University, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UC San Diego. My experience includes working in mobile crisis teams, university counseling centers, and healthcare systems, along with leadership roles in professional organizations shaping mental health policies and training. Beyond clinical work, I share my expertise through publications, lectures, and training to drive meaningful change in the mental health field.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Chinese American therapist, I understand the unique pressures of cultural identity and family expectations.​ You deserve a space where your identity is seen and valued. Let’s take the first step together. Reach out now!
