We can all feel overwhelmed by persistent sadness, anxiety, or racing thoughts. Major life shifts—like a career change, relationship end, parenting, or new phase of life—can be difficult to navigate. You do not have to figure it out alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults break free from painful emotional patterns and reclaim a sense of control. My practice specializes in treating mood disorders and guiding individuals through challenging life transitions.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person, meaning I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative and supportive, not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with nearly a decade of experience across community mental health, hospital, and private practice settings. I offer sessions in English and Mandarin, and I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, grief, and relationship challenges. I have a particular understanding of how culture, family history, and identity shape our inner lives — especially for Asian American and immigrant communities
As a Nurse Practitioner, I believe healthcare should be a partnership, not a prescription. My approach combines advanced clinical skills with a deep commitment to patient advocacy, ensuring every individual has the tools and confidence to take charge of their health. I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."
I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year. I work with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, as well as address physical symptoms or issues that may affect mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in education and Master Degrees in Advance Practice Nursing and education.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Long Beach
Finding the right postpartum therapist in Long Beach starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mood changes can look different for each person — and a provider who specializes in these concerns can tailor their approach accordingly. Look for a licensed therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal mental health care, and consider whether you'd prefer virtual sessions or in-person appointments near neighborhoods like Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, or Signal Hill.
When comparing providers, read their bios carefully. Credentials like PMH-C (perinatal mental health certification) indicate specialized training, and many postpartum providers use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or interpersonal therapy. A free phone consultation can also help you determine whether a provider's style feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in Long Beach can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
