I am a bilingual (English and Chinese) licensed psychologist with a decade of clinical experiences with adults and adolescents. Type of sites I have worked at include college counseling centers, community mental health center, EAP, hospitals, and private practice. I was trained professionally in the U.S. and China to provide psychotherapy to clients, to conduct clinical supervision, training, and professional consultation to mental health professionals and paraprofessionals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and I am passionate about providing evidence-based treatment for all mental health disorders. I specialize in OCD, anxiety, & related disorders (BFRBs, tics, BDD, depression, ADHD, GAD, OCPD). My primary treatment strategies are Exposure & Response Prevention, CBT, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (I also integrate DBT & others). Change comes through aligning our actions with our goals, identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns, improving mindfulness practices, and developing coping & self-regulation skills. I am dedicated to working with you at YOUR pace.

In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few. As a Christian counselor, it is my desire to provide a safe and accepting environment in which we can walk and work together to expose, understand, and overcome these barriers.

Everyone is living out the stories that they tell themselves. The themes of these stories may be positive, like "I'm capable" and "I'm valuable", or negative, like "I'm no good" or "I'm worthless". Living out negative themes can be absolutely exhausting and often makes one feel that they are at the end of their rope, that they are beyond the hope of a fulfilling and meaningful life. Negative themes don't come out of nowhere. They come from life experiences, biology, and the wounds caused by the words and actions of others. However, when a person decides to re-read their story more carefully and compassionately, healing can occur.

At times, everyone feels overwhelmed by stressors, life transitions, grief or anger. Change and healing doesn't happen in isolation and we all need help at some point. My clients range from 10 yrs old and up. My approach is strongly grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT). Clients are encouraged to identify what’s important to them and learn ways to move toward their values. Addressing how thoughts drive feelings and behavior and creating new ways to relate with our thoughts and feelings. I'm always amazed and privileged when clients report that a different perspective has greatly altered their lives for the better, especially in the midst of tremendous life stressors. My approach alligns evidenced based research with each individual's goals to improve both emotional well being and connections.

Chronic pain and illness can impact all aspects of a person’s life.

Millions of people are struggling with health issues, and those around them don’t always understand, don’t know how to help, or both. It can be overwhelming and difficult to handle on your own.
