Great to meet you!

I help adults from all walks of life with emotional suffering. My focus is to help you regain your clarity & confidence that align with your life purpose, providing you guidance in a safe and non-judgmental environment that is collaborative and empowering.

I am also a relationship expert helping couples and families to understand each other and connect in a healthier way.

I truly believe life sometimes can throw us a curveball but we have the power within us to rise above it. I witness this kind of transformation time and time again in the patients I served. And I know you can, too.

With 20 years of professional mental health experience with a Master Degree from the University of Southern California. My commitment is to work with you in the most nurturing and empowering way so that you can be the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

My primary clinical approach is cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and solution-focused. My style is warm and direct. You will find working with me healing and result oriented. If you want result and are ready to do the work, give me a call. I look forward to supporting you.

Please note: I'm Chinese American and I understand the Asian culture well, however, I can only conduct therapy in English.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, I’ll ask what brought you to therapy at this point in your life and why now feels like the right time to seek support. Together, we’ll explore what you hope to gain from therapy and, when appropriate, establish initial treatment goals and a plan to help guide our work together.
