Something I believe: the path through what's been hardest in your life often runs right through it, not around it. I don't say that to be discouraging. I say it because I've seen what happens when people have the right support for that journey, and it's genuinely remarkable.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the accumulated weight of major transitions. I'm also deeply invested in career development and self exploration: those quieter questions about who you are and what you actually want matter, too.

My training spans multiple modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor everything to you rather than applying a standard approach. You're not a standard case.

My worldview is shaped by living across cultures and languages, and by research I've done on systemic and implicit bias. I work from a social justice lens because I believe context matters and that what looks like an individual problem is often shaped by forces much larger than any one person. I offer therapy in English, Mandarin, and Sichuan dialect, with conversational Korean as well.

I earned dual master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and an honors degree from the University of Washington in Psychology with a minor in Asian Cultural Studies and Languages. My clinical work has included intensive community programs, community mental health, and private practice with children, adolescents, and adults.

If you're at a point where you're ready to move, I'd be honored to work alongside you.
