Great to meet you!

I’m a bilingual English/Mandarin LCSW trained at NYU. I work with high-achieving adults—especially Asian and immigrant professionals—who may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, burnout, or relationship and family pressure.

I offer a culturally responsive space where you can feel understood without having to over-explain your background, while developing practical ways to feel more grounded, flexible, and in control.

My approach to therapy

My approach is active, structured, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I use ERP for OCD, EMDR for trauma, and CBT- and DBT-based strategies tailored to your needs.

Together, we identify the patterns keeping you stuck, reduce anxiety and avoidance, and build practical skills you can use at work, in relationships, and in daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll clarify what is bringing you to therapy, how it is affecting your daily life, and what you hope will change. I’ll offer initial feedback and collaborate with you on a focused treatment plan. You never have to share everything at once, but you can expect warmth, structure, and honest guidance.
