I am a licensed psychotherapist with a MSW degree from The University of Chicago and a Bachelor degree from Renmin University of China. I have working experience in both US and China in a variety of settings. I provide individual and family psychotherapy to adults with psychosocial concerns such as depression, anxiety, boundary issues, personal relational concerns, parenting needs and so on.

My practice is based on the belief that life brings us many challenges and at times we can get stuck. Feeling stuck can cause us to feel uncomfortable symptoms – anxiety, depression, anger, etc. I believe that therapy is a process where you can gain tools to address those challenges, determine what needs to be changed, work towards making those changes while navigating all the thoughts, feelings and emotions that may come up in the process. I strive to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients can work towards living a value-driven, meaningful life.

Services / Specialties:

I use evidenced-based CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) as well as other psychotherapy techniques to help clients identify and work through obstacles that have caused disruptions in living a value-driven life or made them feel overwhelmed or stuck about how to move forward.

I have experience working with a diverse group of individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions. Over the years, I have developed a multicultural lens that allows me to understand the unique intersecting challenges of identity, acculturation, studying abroad and immigration.
