I believe many of life's answers come from within. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to better understand yourself, where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. My role is to help you navigate this journey using a client-centered, strength-based approach. I specialize in working with couples and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma, and generational trauma. I also support individuals navigating identity exploration and major life transitions.
As a Chinese American woman and former social justice educator, my experiences as a child immigrant have shaped my understanding of how systemic oppression and historical trauma can impact identity, belonging, and overall well-being.
In my work with couples, I emphasize communication as a cornerstone of healthy relationships. I help partners identify and break negative cycles, strengthen understanding, and begin seeing each other as allies rather than adversaries. Together, we work toward creating more connected, fulfilling, and resilient relationships.
