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 self-discovery and healing through the help and guidance of a trained professional who understands the complex interplay of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. For adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use or trauma, therapy offers a safe space to explore the influences of past experiences and cultural expectations that may impact present emotions and behaviors and identify, change, and/or live alongside difficult thoughts and emotions in order to live more full and satisfying lives.
Together, we work through the discomfort of addressing painful memories or patterns that might be keeping you stuck. You’ll gain tools to understand what drives your behavior, recognize patterns that no longer serve you, and develop skills to reshape your path. Therapy is about building resilience, understanding yourself more deeply, and empowering you to take steps toward a fulfilling life.
Why work with me?
As a second-generation Chinese American and child of immigrants, I understand the deeply layered struggle of finding belonging—feeling neither fully one identity nor another, caught between identities, expectations, and experiences. With personal insight into navigating cultural and generational differences and the stigma around substance use and mental health, my goal is to help young people of color unravel the complexities of identity, trauma, and cultural expectation to reclaim their sense of self.
My therapy approach is personalized to you, culturally attuned, and integrates evidence-based methods with Buddhist teachings on compassion and consciousness. My goal is to create a space where we can work collaboratively to uncover and move beyond limiting narratives. Together, we’ll shape goals rooted in healing and resilience.
Mission
My mission is to enhance access to high-quality mental health services and foster emotional growth and healing within our communities. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care that empowers individuals to connect deeply with their core selves, harness the healing power of insight, and reclaim their wellbeing. Through innovative programming and strategic partnerships, I strive to uplift and support historically underserved and marginalized communities, with the ultimate goal of creating a more equitable and supportive mental health landscape, enabling clients to navigate and transcend systemic barriers while promoting personal and collective empowerment.
