Meaningful change begins with feeling truly understood. Through deep listening and careful attunement, I create a therapeutic space grounded in trust and openness, where genuine growth can take place. I balance patience and curiosity with honesty and direct feedback, helping you feel both supported and constructively challenged.
Together, we’ll take a holistic view—exploring how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape your current challenges and sense of self. My approach is grounded in relational and psychodynamic perspectives, integrating CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to address acute symptoms and support ongoing growth. In our work, I also draw on somatic and mind-body approaches that deepen awareness of how emotional experiences live in the body. By tuning into the nervous system and cultivating a sense of embodied safety, we create space for healing and integration.
I offer individual therapy for adults across the lifespan navigating concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions (e.g., aging, illness, relationship, or career changes). I also work with couples, with a focus on intercultural dynamics, infidelity, and intimacy, as well as those seeking premarital counseling or exploring new levels of commitment. As a bilingual and multicultural therapist, I provide psychotherapy in Mandarin Chinese as well.

有意义的改变始于被真正理解的感受。通过深度倾听与细致共情，我营造出基于信任与开放的治疗空间，让真实的成长得以形成。我以耐心与好奇心为基石，辅以坦诚的直接反馈，助您在获得支持的同时接受建设性挑战。
我们将采取整体视角——共同探索您的经历、人际关系与环境如何塑造了当前的困境与自我认知。我的治疗方法立足于关系疗法和心理动力学视角，融合认知行为疗法（CBT）、辩证行为疗法（DBT）及正念技巧，既能缓解急性症状，又能支持持续成长。在我们的工作中，我也运用身心疗法和身心整合方法，深化对情绪体验如何在身体中呈现的觉察。通过调适神经系统并培养身体安全感，我们为疗愈与整合创造了空间。
我为各年龄段成人提供个体心理咨询，处理抑郁、焦虑、创伤、人际困扰、悲伤及人生过渡期（如衰老、疾病、关系或职业变动）等议题。同时为伴侣提供咨询服务，重点关注跨文化互动、情感背离与亲密关系问题，亦为寻求婚前辅导或探索新承诺层级的伴侣提供支持。作为双语多元文化治疗师，我亦提供普通话心理治疗服务。
