I think about therapy the way I think about having a great support team in sports. Not the person who plays for you, but the person in your corner who helps you train, strategize, and keep going when it gets hard. The person who's genuinely rooting for you, not just professionally but personally. That's the kind of therapist I try to be.

I love working with adolescents and adults. There's something I find deeply meaningful about the work with younger clients, that window where so much is still being formed. But anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the weight of feeling overwhelmed don't stop when you hit 25, and I work with adults navigating all of that too.

My approach blends a genuinely warm, person centered philosophy with evidence-based tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. I adapt based on where you are and what you need. I'm also deeply committed to culturally responsive care. I grew up moving between Western and Eastern cultures, researched systemic and implicit bias, and I believe that who you are and where you come from belongs in the therapy room, not outside of it.

One thing I'd tell you about working with me: I embrace what I call "imperfectism." You don't have to arrive with your story neat and organized. You just have to show up.

I hold master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor's from Purdue. I offer therapy in English and Mandarin.

I'd love to be in your corner.
