I am a first-generation Chinese American psychotherapist (she/her). I come with 7 years of combined experience in grief and loss, complex trauma, and medical social work. I have provided therapy in foster care, oncology centers, hospitals, and private practice. My work combines my experience in interdisciplinary medical spaces, my training as a psychoanalytic therapist, and my ongoing deconstruction of race, gender, and identity.

In private practice, I have worked with insightful and driven individuals who were grappling with a life transition, struggling with dread, processing climate-grief, or facing something deeply painful for the first time. Common threads include imposter syndrome, intersectionality, or overcoming feelings of anxiety, depression, and shame.

In my day-to-day, I am the Clinical Lead with a hospice agency dedicated to Asian, Pacific, Islander (API) individuals and families. I have supported over 300 patients through a medical crisis, including death journey, diagnosis to remission, and bereavement.

I believe in the power of therapy and its ability to hold, heal, and teach. I approach the therapeutic work with inclusion, wonder, creativity, and truth. My style is psychodynamic, mind-body-earth oriented, and trauma-informed. I welcome BIPOC and LGBTQ+.

You don’t have to see the whole staircase.  Just take the first step.
