I work with diverse populations, including individual adults, couples, children, adolescents, families, and parenting skill groups with parents in the Bay Area for several years.
With cross-cultural living and working experiences, I enjoy working with children, teens, and their parents to help address developmental challenges, relationship conflicts, emotional struggles, behavioral difficulties, and other mental health issues that they may encounter in daily life. I deeply believes that childhood experiences and parent-child relationships could play an extremely important role in one’s personal development and, by helping to build a secure enough emotional bond among family members, can create a power of healing throughout everyone’s life.

Life has a way of throwing us off balance. We can be moving right along without any issues, then suddenly what used to be working is no longer effective.

I strive to be that non-judgemental and compassionate companion that will provide you the encouragement and feedback to make your efforts for change count!
