English
| 中文 If you’ve been wondering, “why am I having those unwanted thoughts, feelings, or urges?” or “what do I truly want for my life?”, you’re not alone. In our ever-changing world, our perceptions and experiences constantly evolve, and understanding them can be both challenging and enlightening. I aim to be another pair of eyes, offering new perspectives on the issues you face and supporting your healing and growth. I offer therapy in both Mandarin and English.
As an Asian therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families from marginalized communities. I specialize in intimate relationships, attachment trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, grief and loss, and OCD. I have extensive experience working with racial minorities, international students, and LGBTQ+ members.
As an IFS-informed therapist, I see therapy not as “fixing” you, but as understanding and honoring the whole of who you are—so that healing can unfold naturally and lead you toward a life that feels true, grounded, and alive. Together, we can begin a journey where you are deeply heard, gently understood, and fully supported.
