If you are in the grips of anxiety, troubled relationships, grief, or other issues that threaten to overwhelm your ability to function or be happy in your life, I look forward to working with you in a safe and non-judgmental way. I use a collaborative approach and actively seek your feedback to provide you with therapy that matches your needs and respects your goals.
I look for the best in my clients and partner this with my skills to develop satisfying solutions and tools. I'm a listening and talking therapist who does not believe that therapy has to be torturous to be effective.
I was born in the U.S. (1972) to Chinese parents, and grew up looking at the world through various perspectives and valuing diversity. I work with people of all ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious beliefs. I have survived my own losses, depression, and anxiety to know that a better life is possible.
