Grief counselors and therapists in Kent, WA

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner passionate about supporting preteens, teens, and adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. I provide medication management with therapy woven into every visit.

Having grown up in Taiwan, studied in the U.S., and spent a few years in China and Singapore, I truly understand what it feels like to adapt to new environments while trying to stay true to yourself. You work hard, yet it never feels like enough. You’re overwhelmed but can’t slow down. Your mind races, making it hard to feel grounded. You want stronger connections, more balance, and to feel present in your life. Most of all, you want to feel at ease with yourself and trust that who you are is enough. It’s not just about adjusting; it’s about finding a way to thrive while honoring where you come from. Since 2008, I’ve worked with English- and Mandarin-speaking adults facing major life shifts, whether it’s stress, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or career uncertainty. You do not have to face these challenges alone; together, we'll create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.
