I approach therapy through an intersectional, trauma-informed lens, using person-centered, psychodynamic, strength-based methods drawing from CBT, mindfulness, existential, and humanistic approaches.
Hi there, I am a trilingual Taiwanese American therapist based in New York with experience working with adult clients from diverse backgrounds including AAPI, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and substance use populations. My experience covers grief, relational challenges, addiction, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, Asian American and queer identity. Together we will explore how the past informs your present and relationships, practice new ways of being, and foster more self-awareness through compassionate curiosity and presence.

My approach is eclectic and includes psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques to meet the needs the individual.
I work with clients who seek therapy for a variety of reasons: feeling overwhelmed and depleted during an extremely stressful time, for extra support in period of transition, having trouble in a relationship or seeking personal or professional growth. I’ve also helped clients with persistent troubling mood and anxiety issues. Whatever the client's identified concerns and goals are, we work together collaboratively to develop a plan and address them while increasing skills to handle life’s ups and downs.
