I'm a Licensed Art Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor that is dedicated to nurturing culturally attuned care for Asian, BIPOC and other communities. At the core of my practice is an unyielding belief in the transformative and healing power of art, a medium that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, inviting individuals from all walks of life to engage, express, and heal. I've embraced a diverse array of individuals, particularly championing the needs of people of color, immigrants, and minority groups, guiding them towards self-acceptance, gender affirmation, and a profound sense of self-worth.
My approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, emphasizing the role of creativity as a conduit for self-awareness, resilience, and recovery. I employ an integrated, holistic, and creative approach while utilizing evidence-based clinical psychotherapy methods such as CBT, ACT, DBT, solution-focused, etc. I also offer therapy in Mandarin and Cantonese.
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and a testament to the rich tapestry of Eastern and Western cultures, I embody a comprehensive, empathetic perspective.In my therapeutic sessions, I strive to create an environment that reflect the lived experiences, cultural backgrounds, and personal narratives of my clients.
