My Approach

  • Who I Serve

    I specialize in providing individual psychotherapy, family therapy, and couples therapy to adolescents (ages 12-17) and young and emerging adults (ages 18 to 35).

    While my practice welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, my practice focuses on providing services to historically marginalized groups, particularly young Asian Americans.

  • What I Do

    I specialize in treating trauma and co-occurring mental health concerns, including substance misuse, depression, anxiety, and ADHD; managing transitions and phase-of-life issues; understanding and healing intergenerational trauma; facilitating cross-cultural identity development for immigrants, refugees, and children of immigrants; and repairing attachment injuries and healing relational patterns.

  • Where I Work

    I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Colorado. My practice is a completely telehealth-based practice, which means that we will connect conveniently from the comfort of your own home. I accept clients located Colorado and PSYPACT Participating States.

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is the process of discovering and rediscovering yourself through the help and guidance of a professional trained in understanding the biological, psychological, and social roots of human behavior. It is a way for individuals, couples, and families to identify, change, and/or live alongside difficult emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and patterns in order to live more full and satisfying lives.

The goal of psychotherapy is to explore what experiences from your past are driving you in present. Psychotherapy can be uncomfortable and challenging; yet, so rewarding if you are willing to move through that discomfort. If you’re not ready to move through that discomfort, that’s okay. Psychotherapy can also help you build tolerance for that discomfort so that you can get to a place where you feel safe confronting it. Through guided collaboration with a therapist, psychotherapy allows you to gain insight into the patterns that are keeping you stuck and learn the skills you need to make meaningful changes and take control of your life.

Why work with me?

As a second-generation Chinese American and child of immigrants, I understand the struggle of feeling like you’re never quite enough—never Chinese enough, never Asian enough, and yet never American enough. I know how layered and complex the search for identity and belonging can be, and how deeply those layers can build over time. By honoring your unique experience within the context of your life history and cultural identities, my goal is to help you peel back those layers, reconnect with your core self, and make peace with the parts of you that no longer serve you.

I personalize psychotherapy to each client I see, because humans are deeply complex and I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all. Using an integrative approach, I will adapt to your unique needs, ebbing and flowing through different therapeutic techniques, and will always meet you where you’re at. I will approach our work with openness, compassion, and collaboration—your goals are my goals. My practice is grounded in evidence-based methods, while blending Buddhist teachings on consciousness and compassion with a justice-oriented, culturally humble lens.
