Are you looking for support for yourself or your child in navigating emotions, relationships, or life's challenges? Whether you're a parent seeking guidance for your child, a teen navigating friendships and school, or an adult managing stress and life transitions, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself, your loved ones, develop coping skills, and build confidence. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, executive functioning challenges, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions. I also have specialized experience supporting individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other neurodevelopmental differences. 

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Family Therapy, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. Together, we work toward developing practical coping skills, managing emotions, strengthening relationships, and building confidence. 

In addition to therapy, I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for ADHD, ASD, and developmental disabilities across age groups. As a bilingual provider offering services in English and Mandarin Chinese, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care and welcoming individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. 

There are times in everyone’s life when the day-to-day becomes increasingly challenging. Whether that be work, health, family, marriage, or any of life’s other demands, you are not alone. As a licensed psychologist, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care with curiosity, empathy, warmth, and an open viewpoint. I draw on a wide range of therapeutic approaches to create personalized treatment plans for adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating life’s challenges and seeking meaningful growth.

My approach to therapy focuses on understanding your unique experiences and strengths to help you make sense of your emotions, relationships, and personal goals. By building a strong, collaborative relationship, I aim to create a safe space where you can explore and address whatever you’re carrying, whether it’s stress, relationship difficulties, family concerns, or other emotional challenges. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to break free from unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and strengthen connections with themselves and one another, tailoring my approach to what works best for you as our therapeutic alliance grows.

With years of experience in both therapy and assessment, I have worked in diverse settings, including the department of corrections, college environments, and inpatient care, allowing me to develop a well-rounded, generalist approach to supporting clients across the lifespan. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself, your adolescent, your family, or your relationship, I’m here to provide a supportive environment where growth and healing can occur. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward well-being.

My goal as a therapist is to genuinely connect with and support clients in their healing journey. I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership where clients feel seen, heard, and unconditionally accepted in a safe and inviting space. I am committed to creating an atmosphere that welcomes all identities and needs.

I often approach therapy through a relational lens, understanding that our past and present interpersonal experiences deeply shape how we view ourselves and the world.

I encourage open discussion around diverse identities and life contexts to foster transparency and growth.
