About My Clients

Does your child worry often, struggle with peers, or can't seem to stay focused? I specialize in helping children, adolescents, parents, and families who are struggling with anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, behavior challenges, executive functioning, and school-related issues to feel empowered and thrive. I also specialize in supporting clients with issues regarding Asian American mental health, diversity, culture, and identity.

My Background and Approach

Being dually licensed as a psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist, I am unique in my deep knowledge of and experience in bridging connections between mental health challenges and educational obstacles, drawing from my doctorate training and experience in education. For 18 years, I have honed my skills in providing children, adolescents, adults, and parents with the tools and strategies they need to effectively navigate school challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop resilience. I believe that therapy should be tailored to the needs of each client, so I use a strength-based, culturally-sensitive integrative approach that draws from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic therapy, play therapy, mindfulness. I am also trained in SPACE and EMDR. Through the Authority to Practice Jurisdictional Telepsychology, under PSYPACT, I offer telehealth to clients in MD and 43 other states, ensuring continuity of care.
