From a young age, you may have learned to prioritize achievement, stability, and responsibility, often at the expense of your own emotional needs. You might feel a constant pressure to meet high expectations while carrying unspoken responsibilities for your family. At times, it can feel like you are living between two worlds, trying to honor traditions and values while also wanting the freedom to choose. Even when things look successful on the outside, you may still feel an underlying sense of stress, guilt, or emptiness that is hard to explain.

People tend to find me warm, thoughtful, and kind. My academic training at Duke and Columbia and my own LGBTQ and BIPOC identities have all influenced the therapist I am today. As an Asian American woman who grew up internationally and has experienced “otherness”—I know what it feels like.
I’m here to help guide and support you in overcoming the negative self-talk, the harmful patterns, the anxious or avoidant behaviors that are inhibiting you from deepening relationships. We’ll work together to heal past traumas, and undo the ways they are still causing hurt or holding you back from being your most brilliant self.

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you achieve, it’s still never enough? Like you’re constantly racing, doubting your worth, or fearing judgment? Many of us carry deep-rooted beliefs shaped by childhood wounds and relentless pressure to prove ourselves. This drive to keep up, appear flawless, and hustle harder can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and trapped in anxiety and self-criticism. These patterns can quietly limit your potential, holding you back from becoming who you truly want to be and reaching the goals you deserve.

Many of my clients describe life as feeling heavier than it should. They're checking all the boxes - a good job, stable relationships, family approval, but they feel disconnected from their lives. Some find themselves impatient with people they care about. Activities that once brought joy feel like obligations. They may wonder: Is this just how adulthood feels? Am I being dramatic? For those who are Asian or Asian American, there’s often added invisible weight: a sense of not fully belonging anywhere, guilt about wanting something different from what their parents envisioned, and exhaustion from always needing to prove their worth.

I am an EMDR-trained psychotherapist accepting individuals and couples for therapy. I strive to make therapy an affirming, anti-oppressive space by addressing the harmful effects of systemic oppression and exploring what healing means for each individual. I’m experienced with helping people navigate complex trauma, immigrant family dynamics, grief and loss, disordered eating and body image issues, work-related burnout, gender and sexuality exploration, polyamory, and neurodivergence. I am especially committed to supporting those who are part of marginalized communities and love working with other queer Asian Americans.

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others. I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

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.
