As a psychologist, my approach is shaped by my upbringing on Kinmen, Taiwan, a resilient island marked by the aftermath of war. Surrounded by tales of hardship and perseverance, I witnessed the transformative power of human connection in overcoming trauma. This experience fuels my passion for fostering positive changes and wellness in other people.

 
 

As a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. from Columbia University, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice. My journey as a psychologist began in a field where there were very few who looked or sounded like me - an Asian immigrant woman with an accent. This early experience has deeply informed my passion for creating an affirming space for people who, at times during their life or career, feel like outsiders.

Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I specialize in helping individuals turn obstacles into resilience. Whether you're seeking support for relationship counseling, stress management, significant life transitions, or couples therapy, I offer compassionate guidance tailored to your unique needs. Additionally, I provide mental health-informed executive coaching to individuals committed to achieving career success and personal well-being.

My integrative therapeutic approach is designed to help clients recognize negative patterns in their lives and relationships, including those within couples dynamics. I empower clients with practical skills for positive change while helping them create personalized self-care routines. My style is collaborative, strength-based, and culturally responsive, encouraging clients to tap into existing resources, whether within themselves or their cultural backgrounds, to build confidence and achieve their goals.

Clients consistently describe our sessions as engaging, warm, and empowering. Through our work together, they gain increased confidence, adaptability, and skillfulness in navigating life's challenges, as well as the ability to forge meaningful relationships. If you're looking for support in personal growth, enhancing relationships, or advancing your career, I'm here to help you thrive.
