My counseling style mainly integrates Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy ( CBT) and Schema Therapy (ST).
I provide individual counseling for various topics including mood disorders, life transitions, acculturation stress, and interpersonal relationships etc. I also have experience working with individuals with marginalized identities, such as international students, immigrants, racial/ethnic and gender minorities. With my own cross-cultural background, I stay humble and curious about learning different cultures and working with diverse populations. By creating a safe and warm space and building a compassionate, non-judgmental and genuine therapeutic relationship, my clients will be willing to self-explore, heal and grow.

I love helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and aspirations. I offer a caring, safe, and healing environment that allows clients the opportunity to explore, experience, work through problems, and create solutions that expand their potential for growth and wellness.

I emphasize teaching skills that develop inner resources for successful coping in life. I use a variety of methods, but the method has to meet your needs.

Greetings sunshine! As a licensed therapist in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, I long to be the support for the most vulnerable, the unheard, and for those who desire change.

Once the problem has been identified, we will work to develop attainable goals that change one's personal perspective and provide hope for the future.
