Do you feel the invisible weight of expectations — even when you have done everything “right”? Many of my clients are high-achieving adults who appear successful on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or the lasting impact of family and cultural pressures. Therapy can be a place to understand these patterns, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels authentic rather than defined by expectations. 在家庭、社会期待与自我之间,重新找回属于自己的声音。
As a Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai, I focus on complex trauma (C-PTSD), intergenerational trauma, anxiety, and relationships. I work with adults, couples, and families, including Asian American and immigrant clients navigating cultural expectations and identity. Fluent in English and Mandarin. 用你最熟悉的语言,探索你的故事,开启改变的旅程。
I believe therapy is not about fixing you — it is about understanding the experiences that shaped you and creating new ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we will explore survival patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and build a life aligned with your values. 看见曾经保护你的方式,也温柔地创造新的可能。

"
I use Relational Therapy to create a safe space where "fight-flight-freeze" patterns can soften. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we reconnect with your real self—the part not shaped by fear. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides the structure to practice new ways of living. Therapy isn't about fixing you; it's about returning to the curiosity and hope you've always had.
