My background is in Health Psychology and I bring a Mind-Body perspective to my work. With any change comes growing pains, which is why I specialize in working with professionals navigating important life transitions including career decisions, romantic relationships, friendships, and adjustment to parenthood. Often individuals present questions on how they can feel more fulfilled or satisfied in life. Or how to grow in confidence, or become more grounded in oneself. Many look to find better ways to find meaning and fulfillment in our Modern, Technology-Focused culture.

Personal freedom and well-being is possible Now. I address the systems of body, heart, and mind, using them as vehicles to gain greater insight, self-awareness, and freedom. The body system entails the physicality of life. The heart system encompasses the spacious awareness of love, compassion, and joy. The mind system holds the mind-states of emotion, thoughts, and patterned beliefs that either turn us away from Light or towards suffering - and when there is alignment and integration through all these systems healing occurs. Learn how to create the life you want & be able to enjoy it too!

One of my greatest passions is helping couples in intercultural relationships. I speak English, Mandarin and Taiwanese. I've been in practice for 19 years. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dr. John Gottman's research methods to help clients who struggle with communication, intimacy, various mood disorders, grief/bereavement Issues, acculturation problems (difficulties adjusting to American mainstream culture), recovery Issues (codependency, alcoholism, food addiction, substance abuse, issues relating to family of origin, etc.), and difficulty with life transitions/changes.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a PhD in Counseling Education and a California School Counseling credential. In the past 25 years, I have the privilege to work with numerous families and individuals in different capacities at various settings including schools, faith based organizations, private clinics, community mental health clinics, and national health care networks. Along side with me, I work with a group of therapists who are passionate on achieving goals and resolving challenges with their clients.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Struggles in your relationship can be overwhelming and confusing where you're constantly arguing over small things and feel a growing distance as a couple. "How did things get to this point and how do I fix it?" I want you to know that I understand because I have been in your shoes. I know the pain and frustration that comes with feeling disconnected in a relationship

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, a Psychologist Intern, and a Certified Life Coach who specializes in individual, couple's, family, and group counseling. I work with a broad spectrum of clients with various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, who are experiencing difficulty in marital and family relationships, workplace conflicts, life satisfaction, management of emotions, and cultural adjustment in the USA. I offer tele-therapy via HIPPA compliant web platforms. I supervise a group of interns/associates who take sliding scale fees from $30-60 per session for clients who do not have insurance or have high deductibles.

I want to help you reach your potential. Your life story is filled with possibilities. I am interested in who you are and who you want to be, lifelong dreams and creative ambitions, and the mental hurdles and emotional baggage that are holding you back. You may find yourself feeling stuck. You may feel depressed and anxious about your situation but have a deep yearning to do more with your life. You may not know where or how to start. As your therapist, I'm here to guide you through this difficult time. We will examine all the cards you were dealt with and find the best hands for you.

I am a highly goal focused clinician committed to helping my patients overcome difficult life situations and lead satisfying lives. I use a variety of techniques grounded in health psychology, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), interpersonal and psychodynamic theories to help my patients. Psychological/mental health services I offer include assessment, consultation, counseling, psychotherapy, and neuropsychological evaluation for anxiety, depression/mood disorder, stress, poor job/academic performance, and problems stemming from relationship, immigration, chronic illness, life transition and career-life balance. I am also a sleep disorders specialist for all ages. I was a faculty member at Stanford University.
