Struggling with anxiety, depression, stress? I am available to help. I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience providing care for adults.

I also tailor therapy to best suit the individual needs of each client I work with. I meet with clients in-person or remotely according to your preference.

The Pacific Anxiety Group (PAG) was founded in 2012 by four Stanford-trained clinical psychologists with expertise in the treatment of anxiety, stress, and depression, and a passion for bringing evidence-based treatment to our clients. Over the past eleven years, we have grown into a thriving group practice dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally-attuned, effective treatment to help children, teens, adults, couples, and families overcome obstacles and lead more fulfilling lives. We specialize in treatments that are known to help make a difference, including cognitive-behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

It is my passion to help people lead fulfilling lives and cultivate nourishing relationships. Through mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and somatic interventions, I empower adults, children & teens with tools to navigate their lives and nourish their relationships. I offer couples counseling, parenting support and therapy for children & teens who are struggling with worry, stress, anxiety, defiance, depression and overwhelm. I also offer support for loss & major life transitions. It is a sincere honor to work with my clients, and I hope I get the opportunity to work with you!

Therapy is an opportunity to address problems we want to change, gain insights into our concerns, and develop new ways of being. My approach to therapy is best described as integrative with a strong grounding in psychodynamic, relational, and multicultural principles. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy to co-construct effective strategies for everyday life beyond the therapy room. I strive to provide clients a safe space to increase awareness, make meaning of the experience, and begin to cope and overcome life's difficulties. I provide individual and couple's therapy. I speak Mandarin and English.

Most of us want to solve our own problems, but at times getting help is the wisest move, speeding progress and often bringing desired changes we didn't realize were possible. I help you connect with your inner wisdom and resolve problems while adding skills that bring resilience and strength. My approach is compassionate, non-judging, supportive, and tailored to your uniqueness. Therapy helps with most life challenges because it's really about personal growth: getting better at handling what life brings, and helping the wise, powerful, authentic you come to the forefront, take charge, find meaning, and engage fully.

Are you heavy with concerns, worried about your ability to care for loved ones, or finding it difficult to make it through the day? Do you feel so stressed that it is hard to focus and engage? You may find you tend to forget things, have trouble completing tasks. You may have begun to feel lonely, notice distance creeping into your intimate relationships. Up late at night, feeling sad, judged, overwhelmed or stuck, wishing you could just escape. In therapy, you will find a safe place to explore all these worries, feelings, and reactions, and to examine your deepest struggles.
