Great to meet you!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, school/academic problems, infidelity, stages of life, stress management and relationship/marital difficulties with individuals and couples. I am fluent in English and Mandarin, am also experienced in working with clients regarding cultural adjustments, cross-generational issues in families and bi-cultural relationships.

My approach to therapy

My primary focus is to ensure that my clients' needs are met in treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to identify not only problem areas, but also focusing on areas of strengths, the goals for therapy and how they can be achieved. My warm and compassionate personality allow me to establish effective therapeutic relationships with clients and foster a safe space where people can be at their most authentic self.

What you can expect from me

Feeling heard, supported and understood, in the process of accomplishing the identified goal(s).
