My ideal clients are individuals—Adults, adolescents and children—struggling with big emotions, behavior challenges, relational issues, cross-cultural stress. They’re seeking a therapist who understands both culture and communication, someone who provides structure, compassion, and a safe space to grow. Using behavior intervention, Client-Centered Play Therapy, and unconditional positive regard, I help clients improve regulation, reduce distress, and build confidence. Together, we work toward resilience, connection, and lasting well-being.
As a bilingual Mandarin–English therapist, I support children, adolescents, and adults who need a safe, culturally aware space to navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. My work is rooted in client-centered advocacy, ensuring that every individual feels heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing process. I utilize Client-Centered Play Th

If you’re struggling with anxiety, frustration, burnout, identity stress, trauma, or the pressure of navigating multiple cultures, you deserve a space where your story is understood with care.

I often use Client-Centered Play Therapy in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you or your child to therapy and collaborate on the most supportive ways to help you move forward. Through CCPT, we'll gently look at how experiences shape emotions and behaviors. Throughout the process, I'll guide you in recognizing underlying thoughts and feelings, helping you build insight.
