I believe that everyone is the master of their own life. As a counselor, my role is to explore and guide my clients in recognizing and utilizing their strengths, while supporting them as they navigate through challenging times. I feel privileged to witness each client’s unique journey toward healing and growth. As an immigrant from Taiwan, I understand the cultural barriers that can impact mental health. I am fluent in Mandarin and Taiwanese, in addition to English, which allows me to connect with a diverse range of clients more deeply and authentically.

My ideal client would be someone who desperately wants change and is ready to be curious, engaged, and deliberate with their growth. You would be open to creative and alternative approaches, and perhaps you've had many other 'failed' attempts at therapy. I enjoy complex cases, people trying to navigate difficult relationships, and being able to validate the struggles that you've been through. If you want to learn more about your mind, body, brain, past, and psyche and turn that knowledge into actionable steps toward wellness, we'll be a great fit!

Attempting to raise children and teenagers in this world is tough. At times, it feels like you're in a constant battle. Their mental health worries you, but you fear you're saying or doing the wrong thing. Nothing seems to be working, and you don’t know what else to do. Or maybe you’re a young adult/college student trying to figure out who you are and what your place is in this world. You don’t know how to be an “adult”, and that leaves you feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I am passionate about walking beside you in that journey.

When dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma, you may be wondering if there is hope for you or if your life can change. Many counselors enter this field because we also know what it is like to struggle, myself included. My experiences and training have led me to believe that we as people have an incredible capacity for change and healing. If you are ready to make changes in your life or simply need a listening ear, you have come to the right place. Life is hard, but we don't have to do it alone.
