I am a trilingual (Mandarin/Taiwanese) psychologist providing virtual therapy, with specialized experience in working with the concerns of Asian communities.

Dealing with depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms is a dark and lonely journey; you might not be aware that you have all of the resources to heal. Feeling stuck in the uncomfortable state is miserable and overwhelmed; you're just longing for the wounded to be seen, touched, and nurtured. Being easily irritated is not what you want; you need someone to help you retrieve your inherent self-compassion capacity. As a trauma-informed therapist, I see an individuals' mental health issue both as a warning signal for the problematic system they live in and also as the starting point for the journey of systemic change.

I am a second generation Chinese-American clinical psychologist. I completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University and have expertise in teaching tools to navigate intense emotions such as anxiety and anger, and improve self-confidence and relationship satisfaction. I also specialize in teaching communication skills for couples and families such as conflict resolution, setting and maintaining boundaries, and expressing and getting relationship needs met. I'm particularly passionate about working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds, such as being a first or second generation immigrant or mixed race.

I believe psychotherapy is a process of allowing yourself to feel heard, seen, understood, and accepted. By building a safe relationship with the counselor, gradually accepting and seeing more possibilities and tapping into your true strengths, you can re-engage in a healthy life, work and relationships. It is a patient, step-by-step process that requires patience.

I support busy couples, parents, and adults who feel stuck in the daily grind as they face stressor after stressor. If you face anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or burnout, I'm confident you can feel calm, connected, and content again! We can better understand what keeps you from feeling fulfilled through a holistic, strengths-based approach and by becoming curious about your underlying emotions, behavior patterns, and lingering pain. I'll empower you with proven techniques to become less reactive and more resilient in the face of distress so you can work towards experiencing a new-found connection with yourself and others.
