Introduction

I am a bilingual (English and Chinese) licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience in college mental health and higher education. As a psychologist and educator, I have supported students, families, and professionals across developmental stages and cultural contexts. As a first-generation college graduate and former international student, I understand the pressures of navigating identity, achievement, and belonging across cultures. I specialize in working with high-achieving adolescents and adults, international and immigrant families, and individuals managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and academic or professional stress. I also support parents who want to strengthen emotional connection and resilience in their families. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including EFT, ACT, DBT, Attachment Theory, and IFS, with Eastern perspectives on mindfulness and relational harmony. I strive to create a space that is culturally responsive, emotionally attuned, and grounded in both science and compassion, helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and meaningful change. As a PSYPACT-certified psychologist, I provide telehealth services to clients in 43 participating states, allowing for continuity of care across state lines. In addition to psychotherapy, I am a Certified CliftonStrengths Coach and help clients identify and leverage their natural talents to build confidence, clarity, and sustainable growth.
