About My Clients

You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, burnout, or a period of change, and trying to make sense of it. At times, it may feel like things haven’t really shifted. I work with adults who want to understand their experience more clearly and begin to see some change over time. Therapy is a space to slow things down, look at what’s been difficult, and work through it at a steady pace.

My Background and Approach

I use an integrative approach grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. My background includes community mental health, primary care, and outpatient therapy. I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches. My style is steady, collaborative, and attuned to your pace. We may focus on working through experiences that continue to have an impact, with the goal of helping things feel more manageable over time.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see therapy as a space where different parts of your experience can be met with care. My approach is steady, thoughtful, and grounded in curiosity, with attention to your pace and what feels manageable. As a bilingual therapist (English/Mandarin) and first-generation professional, I bring an understanding of how culture, family roles, and past experiences shape how we move through the world. Together, we create a space where you can reflect openly and develop a clearer sense of direction.
