Before becoming a therapist, I was a college professor. My favorite part of the job was supporting students who were going through it, whether because of the transition of becoming a college student, or because they were experiencing mental health challenges for the first time--or a worsening of symptoms. I love working with clients who are dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing/boundary setting, communication challenges (with family, roommates, friends, partners), general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and OCD. I also have a lot of experience and passion working with clients navigating gender and sexuality, including being on the ace/aro spectrums.

I provide both English and Mandarin virtual psychotherapy to individuals and families. My approaches include CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS and MI, and I adapt the approach that resonates with my clients; my practice also focuses on our automatic thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, as well as exploring cultural identity, navigating cultural dilemmas, and releasing intergenerational tension. I have more than 7 years of experience helping individuals with mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, cultural identity issues, and generational conflict. I am also equipped with the knowledge to work with individuals with special needs, such as autism and developmental disabilities.

Ever feel like you're losing the grip on this thing we call "Life?" That things are just too overwhelming, confusing and like you need some answers or guidance? Or maybe you just need to re-find your footing? Get some help with this new transition of college/dorm life, relationships, adulthood? Dealing with loneliness, anxiety, depression, stress, time management, lack of confidence and motivation or simply want someone to talk to who might "get it" and doesn't beat around the bush? That's where I come in! My vision for success is to provide a warm, understanding, supportive, matter-of-fact, & open-minded environment to help you reach your goals and improve your life. I'm not afraid to be silly and/or think outside the box. Sometimes, that's exactly what you need.

I work alongside my clients to empower them and help build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals and create a life that feels fulfilling and balanced. Whether you're navigating dating, relationships, decision-making, life transitions, anxiety, depression, or your career, I’m in your corner—believing in your capacity to grow, thrive, and make meaningful changes. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can better understand your emotions, build resilience, and develop healthier patterns in both relationships and how you see yourself. I understand that life as a young professional can be overwhelming and often leads to self-doubt and internal distress. I work with clients to uncover and shift the internal narratives that may be holding them back from showing up fully and authentically in relationships and life. In our sessions, I’ll help you manage stress and anxiety, set healthy boundaries, and navigate career transitions with intention.

I offer an affirming, safe space for people who identify as POC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent to explore their identities and deconstruct their own narrative within the larger lens of society. I treat both individuals, and couples, ranging from ages 18-40+. I bring warmth, creativity, and a sense of humor into the room, because therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. If you’re ready to feel a little lighter—and a lot less alone—let’s get started.
