I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working in trauma recovery, public mental health, and private practice.

As a biracial Black and Chinese American psychologist, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to my work. My approach is culturally informed, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based care. I work thoughtfully with adults navigating anxiety, relationship distress, attachment wounds, and the long-term effects of emotional or relational trauma.

Identity, culture, and family history shape how people experience stress, responsibility, and relationships. In therapy, these factors are not treated as side notes, but as important context. My work reflects an understanding of family roles, cultural expectations, intergenerational patterns, and the often-unspoken pressures that come with navigating multiple worlds.

Many clients find it meaningful to work with a therapist who understands nuance and complexity without requiring extensive explanation. Others come because they want a therapist who can offer both emotional attunement and clear, structured therapeutic support.

Clients often tell me they value that I:

• understand cultural and family dynamics without over-pathologizing
• recognize the pressures placed on high-achieving, responsible adults
• approach sensitivity as a source of insight rather than weakness
• integrate depth-oriented work with practical, evidence-based tools
• offer a calm, steady presence during difficult or uncertain periods

I frequently work with adult children of immigrants, biracial and multicultural clients, and individuals who have spent much of their lives holding things together for others. If you’ve ever felt caught between expectations, carrying more than your share emotionally, or unsure where you fit, therapy can offer a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded way.

Before we meet for a full session, I offer a brief 15-minute consultation so we can determine whether we’re a good fit. This gives you a chance to ask questions and share what’s bringing you to therapy.

In our first full session, we’ll build on that initial conversation. I create a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you and how it’s currently impacting your life. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your experiences, how you’ve been coping, and what’s helped (or hasn’t).

My goal in the first session isn’t to “solve” everything, but to help you feel heard, understood, and comfortable. We may begin identifying goals or areas of focus for our work together, and I always invite your feedback about how the session felt for you.

Therapy works best as a collaborative process, and from the very beginning, I want you to feel that this is a space where your voice matters.
