Great to meet you!

With an early passion in psychology, I moved from China to the US when I was 17. My experience as an Asian immigrant living in the U.S. enhanced my understanding of the humanity and struggles in all of us. Currently, I'm a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in NY and FL, and a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in NJ. I'm also a Certified Gestalt Therapist.

My approach to therapy

Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Person-centered therapy are my main approaches. In sessions, we will stay in the present, and pay attention to how the past has impacted your current life. But just knowing the "why" is not enough, we will also explore and take risks in making actual changes in real life.

I promise to provide a safe and warm environment for us to develop trust and alliance, so you will have the nutrition to grow to be the person you always mean to be.

What you can expect from me

  • A feeling of relief.
  • Deeper understanding of your passions and pain.
  • Ways to have healthy self-compassion.
  • Concrete tools to solve conflicts and achieve self-actualization.
