California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist 154084

Biligual in Mandarin, licensed marriage and family therapist in California who does EMDR and immigration evaluation

Trauma doesn’t always look like what we expect. It can show up as depression, irritability, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Experiences such as childhood wounds, relationship pain, or cultural and societal pressures can leave the body stuck in survival mode. Healing begins with understanding how those experiences shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. In therapy, I integrate EMDR, IFS, and evidence-based methods like DBT, CBT to help you process trauma, release what no longer serves you, and build the emotional strength to move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

My Path as a Therapist

Our mission is guided by passion for inclusive and compassionate mental health care

I began my career in community mental health, supporting children and teens through school stress, family conflicts, social anxiety, and cultural adjustment. Over time, I expanded my work to include adults, college and graduate students, young professionals, and LGBTQ+ clients across California. I specialize in anxiety therapy, EMDR therapy, emotional regulation, trauma-informed care, relationship issues, ADHD, career stress, and immigration evaluation, offering a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to each person’s unique needs.

As an immigrant and first-generation Asian American therapist, I understand the challenges of navigating cultural identity, family expectations, and belonging. I especially enjoy working with Asian and Asian American clients, bicultural families, and the LGBTQ+ community, providing culturally responsive therapy that honors and celebrates each person’s lived experience.

Sessions are available virtually throughout California in English and Mandarin, with insurance accepted including Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and most PPO plans. I strive to create a safe, inclusive space where clients can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow with confidence and clarity.
