About My Clients

My main specialty is the loss of love — whether that be a partner, family member, friend, or yourself. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. I am committed to walking alongside you while you grow, flourish, and thrive. As an LGBTQ+ clinician, I am deeply committed to serving and supporting my community.

My Background and Approach

I am a "1.5-generation" Asian American bilingual therapist (English and Mandarin Chinese). I developed a nuanced understanding of cultural values, intergenerational trauma, identity formation, and stigma through my own experience. I take on a collaborative, strength-based approach to therapy, where clients discover their identities, values, worldviews, or behavioral patterns. My bicultural background and my passion for effective therapy across demographics inspire me to provide culturally sensitive care. I am committed to walking alongside you while you grow, flourish, and thrive. My main modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My clinical style incorporates a strong therapeutic bond, light humor, and challenging questions that foster personal growth. I am happy to answer any questions, and I offer free 30-minute consultations to explore further options!
