Welcome! I enjoy helping clients explore their identities and experiences in more depth in order to integrate more adaptive ways to heal from past wounds and live a more intentional and fulfilling life. In our work together, my goal is to help you cultivate greater awareness, identify and discard unhelpful patterns and create new avenues of change. Therapy with me is a dynamic, collaborative and slowed down process that acts as a container to safely explore and metabolize pain in a new way. I operate from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, with an emphasis in upholding anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices.

I have extensive experience helping adolescents, young adults and parents navigate anxiety, depression, boundaries, self worth and more. I also have 2 years of experience working with individuals at a higher level of care in a substance abuse treatment center. My areas of specialty include trauma, OCD, addiction, marginalized identities and cultural issues.

I deeply value the importance of our therapeutic relationship and aim to intentionally co-create a space where you feel safe, accepted and understood. I also provide therapy in both English and Mandarin. If it sounds like we could be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you!

I integrate a blend of reflective and behavioral approaches as I adapt my style to each client's unique needs while focusing on the whole person and the systems they are embedded in.
