I welcome all populations and specialize in teens, young adults (navigating post grad season), women, and those within blended families.
Loneliness, pain, fear, and loss can weigh so heavy on our hearts and block us from fully living out our lives with joy and purpose. If you are in a place of feeling trapped and in need of relief and hope, I am so glad you are here. It is from my own experiences with grief, anxiety, and depression, and the healing I received from therapy that I felt called to be a therapist. I have a heart to create a warm and inviting space for my clients to show up as they are and feel fully heard, seen, and accepted. I desire to support and empower my clients as they process through their pain and work towards healing and transformation.

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions? Maybe you are frozen by anxiety or overrun by worries you can't control. Or you feel so numb, empty and hopeless that you can't concentrate or work. These emotions cause you to snap at others or retreat so that your relationships are not what you want them to be. In our sessions, you will learn what keeps you stuck and identify new ways thinking and behaving so you can move forward. You will also learn what to do when you are feeling intense emotions and be able to stop avoiding life.

My practice is consisted of two parts. I provide psychotherapy for child, adolescent and adult clients. My second half of the practice focuses on neuropsychological assessment. I provide assessment for clients who may carry clinical and educational diagnoses including ADHD, autism, specific learning disorder, Bipolar Disorder, dementia/Alzheimer's Disease, and personality disorders. I work collaboratively with local psychiatrists, neurologists, pediatricians and school teachers. My office is one of the preferred testing sites for IQ assessment by a few well-known private schools in the bay area.

I'd like to help you feel better, and what I can do involves more than listening and giving advice. Psychotherapy isn't entered into lightly, and it's important to consider whether change is what you want. It isn't for everybody, and sometimes, change depends on the season of your life. However, if you are experiencing a need to change something that has become a problem, such as sadness, anxiety, or relationship distress, or a habit such as procrastination or an addictive behavior, you might be ready to explore psychotherapy to find a solution.

Feeling tired from constant arguing with your partner? You want to get closer to him/her but you can't move past the anger/hurt/pain that he/she has caused you? And all you want is for him/her to validate you and to tell you that he/she cares. While ignoring it may work for a little while, but over time unresolved relationship issues can affect other areas of your life, including physical health, sleep, mood, work and other relationships. I can help you to get unstuck, work through your emotional wounds, communicate what you want from your partner in a helpful way, and have the connection that you've always wanted.

I'm passionate about helping others who are earnestly seeking change, especially when their current state creates or sustains pain. It isn't an easy process, but positive change is possible when you have a safe space, compassionate support, and the right tools. Getting to witness clients find their voice and heal from their wounds is one of the best parts of this work.

Very often we find ourselves having the same arguments all the time in our personal relationships. Sometimes we get hurt like we have never been before and we can’t understand why it hurts so much. Old patterns and unresolved issues can keep us stuck in the same place at times. Never having learned healthy ways of communicating, we do not know how to get the results we want. So many of us go through these challenges at various stages of our lives, with work, personal and professional relationships and raising children. Some of these challenges can seem overwhelming and can drag us down.

Soren Kierkegaard, A Danish Philosopher, once said, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Therapy is a journey of self-discovery. Therapy allows us the time and space to look inwards and explore our feelings, thoughts and behaviors to find some answers for ourselves. It is our time to tell our story so that we can make connections and find meaning in what we are feeling. We all grow and develop in the context of our experiences and relationships, and only when we understand the impact those experiences have had on our being, can we find the inner strength to move forwards with our lives.

Welcome to my practice. I have over 30 years of experience providing therapy to individuals and couples from very diverse backgrounds with regards to ethnicity, religion, age, country of origin, and sexual orientation. The therapy I do tends to be short-term, "here-and-now" focused, goal oriented, and skills based. I believe my clients want to change their behaviors, and not just "talk" about what's going wrong. My therapeutic style is collaborative, non-judgmental, warm and compassionate. I'm not a "one size fits all" therapist because every client is unique. I offer a Good Faith Estimate at the client's request.

As a Chinese American therapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to cultural sensitivity. My specialization lies in assisting clients as they navigate interpersonal struggles, develop a profound understanding of themselves, and cultivate self-compassion. Acknowledging that therapy is both challenging and profoundly transformative, I am here to guide individuals towards personal growth and emotional well-being, and navigating the in-between spaces stemming from family history of immigration, which can be confusing in developing a sense of self, understanding its impact on current life

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
