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.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned to your lived experience. I know that feelings of guilt and shame often arise when trying to balance personal needs with cultural and family expectations. Together, we can gently explore these emotions, helping you move towards more self-compassion, assuredness, and balance.

I’m a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst whose path to clinical work followed a long chapter in global leadership. Before this life, I spent decades leading teams across cultures—including as a CEO based in China—navigating complexity, ambition, and identity in high-stakes environments. Over time, though, I began to feel a dissonance between outer success and inner meaning. That shift led me to this work.

Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Shanghainese.
Do you feel an invisible weight — even when you've done everything 'right'? The pressure to meet expectations can quietly show up as persistent anxiety, depression, or burnout. You may find that unprocessed trauma leaks into your daily life — as brain fog, difficulty saying no, or feeling stuck in your relationships. You are tired of just surviving. You want a space where your full identity is understood, so you can finally reclaim who you truly are — 在家庭及社会期待与自我之间,找回真实的自己。

I am a trilingual (American English, Mandarin, and Fuzhonese) New York and New Jersey state-licensed psychotherapist.
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 often think about a quote by the English psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott: “To my client, who paid to teach me.” It reminds me that therapy is a two-way process of learning and growth. I work well with individuals who are trying to understand themselves more deeply and create a meaningful narrative about who they are. I see therapy as a mirror - one that helps you come closer to your true self with compassion and honesty.

I work with people who find themselves caught between who they are and who they think they should be—carrying old stories, hidden emotions, and questions about identity, purpose, and connection. Therapy with me is a collaborative exploration, where curiosity and honesty guide the way, and where even the difficult parts of your life have something meaningful to teach. I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but about rediscovering the parts of yourself that were silenced or forgotten along the way. Together, we create space for reconnection, self-understanding, and growth that feels deeply your own.
