I am a bilingual (English/Chinese) therapist with a background in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. My journey in mental health began with studying psychology in China, followed by earning a degree in cognitive neuroscience in Dallas, and my clinical social work degree at The University of Texas at Austin. I’ve also worked as a researcher in the tech field and studied mental health counseling in China.
I bring a down-to-earth approach to therapy, focusing on the whole person and the impact of past experiences. I believe that healing and growth not only happen in therapy but also through everyday activities like creative hobbies, connecting with others, and self-care practices such as gentle body awareness techniques.
I am passionate about supporting individuals dealing with complex trauma, feelings of emptiness, depression, challenges related to immigration, and work-related anxiety. I emphasize the importance of tuning into your body as a vital part of mental health. I look forward to meeting you and exploring the best ways to support your well-being on your journey to healing.

I believe healing and growth don’t only happen in formal sessions, but also through everyday experiences — whether it’s connecting with others, engaging in creative expression, or practicing gentle self-care. My role is to support you in discovering what truly nurtures your mental well-being and helps you move forward with more clarity and balance.
