I work with clients across the lifespan and have a passion for supporting emerging adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, cultural identity, and life transitions. My ideal client seeks support in understanding emotions, balancing multiple cultural expectations, and building confidence. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, process experiences, and rediscover strengths using evidence-based, culturally responsive approaches. I listen actively and empathically, provide emotional support and validation, and use different therapeutic interventions based on your presenting concerns.
I offer therapy for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues using evidence-based approaches. I help you identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, increase insight, and strengthen connections, with yourself and others. My integrative style supports meaningful, lasting change.
I pay attention to the impact of cultural differences and incorporate them into treatment. Are you ready to explore the path toward a healthier and more fulfilling life? Let's connect! You are welcome to message me and I'll get back to you quickly. Therapy can also be provided in Mandarin Chinese. I look forward to hearing from you!
