Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Shu a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's most challenging moments. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I have a particular heart for immigrants and those navigating questions of cultural identity. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth: I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and heard. Whether you're facing a crossroads or just feeling stuck, I'm here to help you find your footing.

My approach to therapy

I believe you are the expert on your own life and my job is to walk alongside you, not lead the way. Drawing from CBT, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches, I tailor my style to what feels most helpful for each person. I'm especially attuned to cultural context and how identity shapes our experiences, and I work hard to create a space where you feel comfortable bringing your whole self. Let's figure this out together.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance to get to know each other - no pressure, no agenda. I'll ask about what brings you in, a little about your background, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. This helps me understand your story and start thinking about what approach might work best for you. You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet; just showing up is enough.
