I am a second generation Chinese-American clinical psychologist. I completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University and have expertise in teaching tools to navigate intense emotions such as anxiety and anger, and improve self-confidence and relationship satisfaction. I also specialize in teaching communication skills for couples and families such as conflict resolution, setting and maintaining boundaries, and expressing and getting relationship needs met. I'm particularly passionate about working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds, such as being a first or second generation immigrant or mixed race.
I utilize the evidence-based treatments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and schema therapy in my practice. These modalities are action-oriented, and I often collaborate with clients on creating homework outside of sessions to work on specific goals.
I believe that there is nothing inherently wrong or bad with any of us, and we are all already doing the best that we can. My therapeutic style emphasizes validation and compassion, while being collaborative and action-focused. Please reach out to see if I'm a good fit for helping you build a life you love.
