How I Work With Students
I believe in collaborating with students in therapy work. I take a holistic approach when doing therapy, and take care to meet people where they are at, while also considering their backgrounds and other diversity factors. I like to help people to develop skills that tune into the present moment, and work towards what matters most to them in life.
About Me
I am a psychologist who is a generalist by training, but am also specialty trained in treating trauma and PTSD. I have experience in settings ranging from hospitals to outpatient clinics, and have worked with a wide range of psychiatric concerns, communities, and backgrounds. Other identities I hold include being an immigrant, bicultural Asian American, and a proud dog mom. Providing therapy in someone's preferred language when possible, is important to me, and I can conduct sessions in either English, Mandarin, or "Chinglish", if you will.
Professional Interests
