To be human is to experience great joy and great pain; sensitive people feel that pain on a deep level that can be overwhelming. Whether your pain stems from traumatic experiences, attachment wounds, or emotional needs that aren’t being met, therapy can help you sit with the pain while still building a meaningful and rich life. Therapy can help you claim your sensitivity for what it is--an exquisite gift to be honored instead of an overwhelming enemy.

Everyone goes through challenges and there is nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. My goal is to help you attain a better understanding of yourself, to help you develop new skills, improve your coping, and to find resolution for the issues you are facing. My approach is collaborative and I work hard to create a safe space where people feel valued, heard and empowered. I offer a free 15-minute consultation appointment.

My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts.

Many of my clients are dealing with transitions or difficult life events. My approach is gentle, supportive, inclusive, highly informed and effective.

It can be hard to talk to someone about personal concerns, especially those related to sex and relationships. As a clinician at Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, my goal is to promote healthy sexuality while providing a safe and accepting space to explore what that means for you. I strive to help clients feel as comfortable as possible so we can work together regarding any challenges they may face. I am committed to creating an open, honest, and safe environment to discuss difficult issues. I believe therapy should be a place free of judgement where clients can be their authentic selves.

Therapy is weird. It’s subjective and heady and brings up existential questions like: what even is therapy?! The short answer: therapy is whatever you want it to be. It’s your time to use how you want, whether that’s processing current life stressors, doing deeper trauma work, or just part of your self care routine. Often times it’s a mixture of all three. Non-linear.

I graduated from Yale and then got my MD from Medical University of South Carolina. I completed my psychiatry residency at UNC Chapel Hill and worked in mental health clinics and later as Director of Psychiatry at Person Memorial Hospital. I enjoyed medication management but became most excited about the long lasting effects of psychotherapy. I have a great deal of experience caring for individuals with a wide variety of emotional and behavioral issues and I now want to focus my knowledge and insights on treating these issues with psychotherapy.

Being a parent is TOUGH. I will listen to your concerns/hopes while providing a nonjudgmental environment to explore the issues your child and family may be facing. I am passionate about childhood mental health, and only work with children and teens (ages 2-16). Some children I see experience issues with adjustment, anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. Some children ask to come to therapy; some don't. I focus on building trust and rapport with every client I work with.

Changes often raise fear and curiosity. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are full of curiosities and who are willing to explore unknowns and perceive unknowns as gifts. I am interested in supporting clients’ fear related to changes, and helping clients work on variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, traumas, identity development (e.g., sexual orientation and cultural identities), etc. Prior to arriving in the US, I was a mental health provider in Taiwan. In my early career, I practiced child play therapy and animal-assisted psychotherapy.

Finding the space to be vulnerable and feel comfortable can be a hard thing to find. My clients range from adolescents to adults primarily, trying to find peace and navigate in a world of chaos. Mental health can often be taken for granted and overlooked.
