Come Meet Me! 

Welcome to a space of nurture, safety and authenticity as we explore your relationship with yourself, others, and society at large. We can cry, laugh, process, learn, take risks, celebrate accomplishments and make mistakes together. I will be alongside you at your pace as we challenge your capacities to make adjustments in areas that are no longer helpful and fulfilling. I am invested in helping you identify your pain points and joyful points in areas including, but not limited to, self-esteem / self-worth, family of origin/relationship, racial/cultural identity, trauma, stress / anxiety / depression/ mood swings, and grief / loss. We will help you create a toolkit to strengthen your inherent capabilities to navigate life day to day. I will meet you where you are and engage in creative tools and personalized methods. I have an integrative, collaborative, inclusive, holistic, affirming, and culturally responsive approach. 

I have a multicultural personal and professional background. I identify as a first generation immigrant and Taiwanese, and was previously an international student in NYC. I traveled extensively and independently for my studies. I, myself, am a work in progress, which I do with compassionate curiosity! I have extensive experience working in different programs and settings, and with adults, couples, and families from all walks of life. In addition to being a Bilingual Psychotherapist, I have held various different roles as a Clinical Supervisor, Presenter, Researcher (published), Peer mentor, Teacher, Advocate, and Volunteer. I am also Narcan-certified.

Recently, I collaborated with the Soar Over Hate organization and was invited as a Guest Speaker at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to educate medical students about the impact of racial trauma in the recent epidemic in xenophobia on mental and physical health. Previously, with my additional interests in Political Science, I obtained the opportunity to work at United Nations Department of Public Information and IMPACT Leadership 21 which taught me about empowerment and advocacy for the underserved and underrepresented populations. These experiences have helped me learn and understand mental health from different lenses especially with marginalized identities.

I hold an Ed.M. in Mental Health Counseling and an M.A. in Psychological Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University.
