No matter what you are going through now or have been through in the past, I believe that you have innate goodness and value. You are not broken. You are enough, exactly as you are. However, we all need support to begin trusting our own goodness so that we can truly heal and flourish. My role as a therapist is to help you access the qualities of your wisest Self, the capacity that you inherently have for compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calm, confidence, courage, and connectedness.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, people pleasing, identity exploration, relationship challenges, life transitions, and adverse religious experiences. I affirm LGBTQ+ individuals and non-traditional relationships.

Are you searching for your authentic self, striving for better family or mother-daughter communication, or carrying the emotional weight of perfectionism? The journey of balancing cultural expectations with personal growth can be overwhelming, often leading to frustration, confusion, or self-blame. As a bilingual (Mandarin/English) Asian woman therapist, I understand the unique challenges of the minority experience—from navigating generational gaps to processing cultural dilemmas and the complexities of Asian American identity. I specialize in working with women, children, international students, LGBTQIA+ folx, and their families.

I am partial to using CBT, DBT, Tf-CBT, IFS, and Mindfulness strategies in my practice.
You feel anxious when someone pulls away, overwhelmed during conflict, or disconnected when things get too vulnerable. Part of you wants connection, while another part feels guarded or on edge. You may feel your stomach leaping or chest tightening, as you try to figure out why you are the only one that can solve everyone's problems. I work with first-generation individuals, who hold it together for their family, while quietly fighting people-pleasing and guilt that follow them into every other relationship. I know how jarring it is to find help that doesn’t need you to over-explain everything in context.

The world is full of voices telling people it’s not okay to fully embrace who they are. My vision is to fill the world with people who know that it's okay, it's encouraged, and it should be celebrated to be your most authentic self. In my practice, I support individuals navigating profound transitions, loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. With unwavering empathy, I cultivate trust, particularly with those who have been harmed by healthcare systems. Therapy is an invitation to look inward, unraveling patterns that have silently shaped us, guiding us to deeper self-awareness.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.

What are you looking for? It’s a question we’ve all heard before — maybe too many times, especially in New York where it pops up on every dating app. It can feel cliché, even irritating. And yet, it’s also one of the hardest questions we face. We don’t always know what we’re looking for, which can leave us feeling restless, stuck, or disconnected. That’s often where therapy begins. There’s no perfect way to prepare for what life throws at us, but we can try to carry it through with some resilience, a bit of grace, and even a little humor.

On the outside, everything seems fine. But in quiet moments, when no one is watching, you exhale and realize you've been holding your breath for a long time. In your relationships, you pour everything you have into them, and no matter how much you give, it never feels like enough. You learned this early, watching your family sacrifice and push through just to survive. Now, that younger part of you is still trying so hard to earn love and feel safe. You've spent so long living in your head that you've lost touch with what living truly feels like. This is a space to get out of your head and into your body, where healing can begin.
