You may be used to holding everything together while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, struggling to focus, feeling disconnected from yourself, or noticing that difficult experiences from the past continue to affect your life.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and PTSD. I strive to provide a warm, culturally responsive, and supportive environment where you can feel understood without judgment. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you gain greater clarity and move toward meaningful change.

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.
