I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in San Francisco, where I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also provide anger management support for children and adolescents. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I bring a culturally attuned perspective and a deep commitment to creating a warm, judgment-free space where you feel truly heard.
My approach is collaborative and person-centered — I tailor each session to what you actually need, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and developmental therapy. I'm also trained in Expressive Arts Therapy, so we may use drawing, sandplay, narrative, music, or movement as pathways to insight when words alone aren't enough. Together, we'll find the combination that helps you build real coping strategies and lasting personal growth.
Our first session is a relaxed conversation — I'll ask about what's on your mind and what brought you here, with no pressure to have it all figured out. From there, I'll listen for what kind of support fits you best: if you're working through a practical challenge, we might lean into a behavioral approach; if it's more emotional or fear-based, we might explore what's happening beneath the surface using IFS. You'll leave with a sense of being understood and a clear direction for where we're headed together.
