My approach is primarily guided by ideas and techniques from psychoanalytic therapy, a more intensive approach in which we try to have curiosity about both the conscious and unconscious reasons for our choices. We hope that with more awareness and deeper understanding about ourselves and others, we then feel more freedom in our choices and ultimately, greater well-being.
My pronouns are she/her. I enjoy working with people of varied backgrounds and experiences, and hold a holistic view of the complex societal and cultural contexts that influence our lives. I have a special focus on trauma and adult children of immigrants.
I can speak Chinglish (Mandarin and Cantonese), and also strive to provide queer- and gender-affirming care. I offer in-person appointments as well as have limited telehealth appointments for California residents.
