I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Canada and moved to Los Angeles to complete my undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Southern California. I have worked in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States in clinical settings and have also lived in Shanghai. I have extensive experience in therapy and training others (social workers, nurses, other psychologists, etc.). I understand cultural diversity and am competent in multicultural settings.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment where you are able to freely express your thoughts, emotions, and feelings. I place heavy importance on developing a strong therapeutic relationship created with trust, respect, and acceptance to encourage you to develop better coping skills that will empower you to reach your goals. I draw from various treatment modalities in order to create a treatment plan that is uniquely suited to your particular needs and background.
Whether it be depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, loneliness, or unhealthy relationships, one of the goals throughout the journey of therapy is to help you identify the underlying issues and negative patterns that are holding you back.
We will work together to find clarity and gain insight into what is needed to make meaningful changes to your life. Let's have you live the life you want.
