Meaningful therapy allows vitality, authenticity, and a sense of freedom to emerge. I help clients experience more of these vivid feelings of aliveness. To cultivate them, we first need to understand what is blocking them. Because humans are wired for survival, many protective adaptations: rigid “shoulds,” overthinking, perfectionism, emotional shutdown, or caretaking can become automatic patterns. These strategies often once served an important purpose, but over time they may limit peace, agency, and connection. My work integrates somatic regulation with insight-oriented psychotherapy, helping clients holistically.
I am a trilingual (American English, Mandarin, and Fuzhonese) New York and New Jersey state-licensed psychotherapist. I have personally experienced and worked with issues related to acculturation, immigration, and identity. I specialize in working with people from diverse backgrounds in individual psychotherapy.
Additionally, I had a career in tech consulting, and I have integrated this technical background with my psychology knowledge to create an analytical, yet compassionate space for my clients. I have expertise in depression, anxiety, identity confusion, self-esteem, trauma history, complicated grief, and more.
