Have you ever imagined a new way of thinking about your life? A new way of relating to others, understanding yourself, and expressing yourself fully? As your therapist, I will support you in exploring your values and uncovering a fulfilling path where you’ll find self-discovery, growth, and freedom.
I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to counseling, recognizing that there are many unique paths to healing based on your strengths, needs, and life experiences. I deeply value the intersectionality of your story and tailor my support to meet your needs. I work with a variety of concerns, such as:
Depression and anxiety
Relationship issues
Parenting
Perinatal concerns
Stress and burnout
Life transitions and adjustments
Immigration trauma
My practice integrates Psychodynamic Principles and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques. I also draw on the Gottman Method when working with couples and families.
What informs my perspective: I was born and raised in China, with experiences living in Canada and the U.S. I married into Icelandic culture and have been a mother since 2013. My journey, combined with my professional experience as a parenting coach, has given me a unique lens to view mental health. I specialize in working with individuals from various backgrounds, particularly young professionals, parents, immigrants, and AAPI individuals. Mandarin and Cantonese services are available upon request.
Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. My academic background includes a Master’s in Financial Economics from Boston University and a Bachelor’s in Applied Economics from Hong Kong Baptist University.
Outside of my work, I enjoy running, culinary exploration, mountaineering, and spending time with family, friends, and my furry friend.
Taking the first step toward change can be daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re ready to uncover and embrace your authentic self, I invite you to begin this journey with me.
