Do you ever feel stuck—wanting change but not knowing how to move forward? I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and begin to find new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’m trained in both psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I believe personal growth happens when we face frustration and pain rather than avoid them. In my practice, some people meet once or twice a week to explore emotions, patterns, and personal history. Others who wish to go deeper meet more frequently for psychoanalytic work.

Originally trained as a psychotherapist in China, I now practice in the Seattle area. I believe healing happens in relationships—that while we are all different, we share our humanity. By centering people of color in my practice, I hope to support underserved multicultural communities. I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey of exploration.

Counseling is a journey, an encounter. In which you will be seen, and then you can see yourself; You will be understood and then you can understand yourself. The more knowledge you gain about yourself, the more free you are to make choices, and the more comfortable you are to be who you are and where to go. In this journey with you, I will also get my growth.
