I believe healing is not a destination but a journey—one that you don’t have to walk alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or old wounds that still feel present, I offer a space where all parts of you are welcomed. You bring your lived experience; I bring compassion, perspective, and steady support.

My approach is collaborative, rooted in curiosity, emotional safety, and the belief that you already hold the wisdom needed to heal. Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you build a deeper, more trusting relationship with yourself so you can show up more fully in your life. If you’re ready to start that journey, I’m here to walk with you.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Fremont

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont starts with identifying care that affirms your identity and matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with gender identity, sexual identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. The right fit should reflect both clinical training and a clear commitment to respectful, identity-affirming care.

Fremont has a range of mental health care options, though LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapists in some local areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care accessible from home. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you see whether a therapist explicitly works with LGBTQIA+ communities and how they describe their style, specialties, and session approach.

Therapy in Fremont can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont who match your preferences and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
