“Enjoy being in the process of becoming.” I specialize in helping Asian Americans with ADHD, social anxiety, familial conflict, depression, burnout, life transitions, and self-esteem. As a Fujianese myself, I understand that cultural nuances are important in managing mental health struggles within the Asian community. Whether you grew up in an Asian household or immigrated later in your journey, I offer understanding from both worlds. I provide counseling in Mandarin and English in a safe and non-judgmental space.
I offer therapy through a collaborative, strength-based approach that honors each client’s unique journey. Drawing from my lived experience in both the East and the West, I bring a culturally attuned perspective that bridges traditional and modern understandings of mental health.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I will hold a safe space for you to explore your past, present, and future. Email me for a free 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation!
