Introduction

I work with adults, working professionals, and teens navigating self-esteem, anxiety, panic disorder, stress, relationships, identity, family dynamics, and life transitions. As a first-gen Chinese American therapist committed to building trust, I bring a warm, curious, candid, and grounded presence to therapy. My approach is person-centered, culturally responsive, and guided by compassion. Together, we’ll slow down, understand your patterns and choices, and make room for decisions that bring you closer to your authentic self. My hope is to create a safe space where you feel understood, gently challenged, and supported in your growth. I draw from my experience and evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, IFS, and psychodynamic therapy, to create sessions that fit your needs. Together, we will explore what feels most supportive, whether that means building resilience, gaining insight, developing new ways to reflect, or practicing greater self-compassion. Taking the step to seek therapy can feel scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. Together, we will move at your pace, make room for reflection and self-compassion, and help you gain confidence navigating life’s challenges as you grow toward a more authentic, grounded sense of self.
