I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. I know how overwhelming life can feel, and I hope to offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood and empowered.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, navigating big life changes, or carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, or grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I also work closely with older adults and caregivers who may be facing unique challenges with health or independence.
When we work together, you can expect warmth, patience, and honesty. I listen closely, reflect back what I hear, and meet you with compassion and respect.

I work with older adults and caregivers facing challenges with health or independence. As an immigrant, I understand how isolating it can be to feel unseen, and I want you to know this is a space where you will be heard. Whether in Cantonese, Mandarin, or English, my focus is on supporting you.
