I specialize in helping adults and teens in therapy. I am here to support you in your healing journey!

I utilize a Jungian, psycho-analytic framework, alongside parts-based work, and a social justice lens. As a therapist, I help people increase their ability to understand themselves and the way they move through the world.

The process of finding a therapist can be daunting, but I believe it is a sign of courage and strength to seek help for lasting personal growth and for stronger relationships. My overall perspective about therapy is to show acceptance, compassion and care to all clients; to build safe, warm, trustworthy, and collaborative therapeutic relationships; to apply evidence-based and culturally-competent therapeutic concepts and skills to address clients’ specific needs; and to build upon client’s strength for change. I speak both English and Mandarin and provide immigration mental health evaluations. I am licensed in MD, D.C., and VA.
