I am a collaborative therapist who works with clients’ strengths to explore the behaviors, thoughts, communication patterns, and interactional patterns that are associated with the problems presented. After a thorough initial assessment, I work with clients to clarify goals, identify resolutions to the presenting issues, followed by a wide array of interventions and home assignments to help achieve these goals. I understand that people find it at times challenging or embarrassing to discuss their sexual lives and take pride in providing a judgment-free environment with compassion, empathy, and openness. It is important to me to recognize the diversity of each person and adapt my therapeutic techniques to the unique needs of each client. My ultimate goal for each client in therapy is to be provided with tools and specific techniques to master and utilize during and after completing their work with me in therapy. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.

I genuinely enjoy working with diverse groups of people and age ranges. I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families of all ages. I believe in a safe, trusting, and respectful nature of the therapeutic relationship that allows for deep work which can help you live a rich and fulfilling life. Together, we will learn to think about our problems in more manageable ways and develop skills to deal with those issues that are individualized to you. I bring my true self to each session, and provide a safe space to explore even the most difficult experiences you may have. In our work together, we will explore underlying thoughts, patterns of behavior and life events that may be shaping your present functioning. You are the expert on your own life and your feelings are real and valid. In individual psychotherapy treatment, my goal is to help you uncover underlying assumptions about self and other which have been distorted by life experiences and modify them and to identify cycles that disrupt positive change. I truly believe that the more we understand ourselves, the more we are able to truly grow and live a rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

Everyone suffers from mental health issues at some point in their life—whether minor or major—and it’s important to have help from someone you can trust. I aim to establish trust by creating a safe and comfortable environment for you to share your story with me. Regardless of your background, history, appearance, diagnosis, identity, or beliefs, I regard you unconditionally and genuinely care about your well-being. In our sessions, I utilize a therapeutic approach that focuses on the improvement of mental health through 1) a healthy lifestyle, 2) mental calm and clarity, and 3) self-awareness: of both your problematic views and life-directing values. Together we can carefully identify your barriers to mental health, develop clear recovery goals, and help you find ways to implement action plans that align with your values. My role is to accompany and guide you in your path of healing. As a mental health professional, it’s essential to have my own practice of well-being in order to better help others heal. I have over 15 years of experience practicing mindful living, meditation, and instructing others in mindfulness-based practices, before as a Buddhist monk, and now as a mental health counselor. I specialize in helping people manage their anxiety, depression, cravings, and anger, as well as minimize problematic judgment and rumination. I’m skilled at helping my clients clarify their life direction. I’m bilingual, speaking Mandarin Chinese as well as English, and I have years of counseling experience working with Chinese-American people suffering from chronic & severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. I’ve lived in Chinese cultural environments for years, and in this way, I believe I’m also fluent in the Asian-American cultural overlap. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I am passionate about helping clients who experience depression, anxiety and trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, loneliness, disconnection from loved ones, frustration, or a lack of motivation. I help these clients by providing them with a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their feelings. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients make connections between what happens in their lives and their innermost beliefs, desires, and wants. I place strong emphasis on having a quality therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual regard. My main goal is to help clients learn how to accept themselves and to practice self-care. My style is collaborative, patient, and kind. I love to help clients break out of negative emotional cycles and move forward with their lives.

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and interactive. After an initial assessment, I may start by providing information about different therapy techniques and why they may be helpful for your concerns. I also start from a place of strength — though you may begin therapy feeling low or nervous, I aim to remind you of the resilience and skills you already possess, while helping you discover new ways to look at and tackle obstacles. I’m a fan of handouts and worksheets, and may encourage you to do practice exercises between sessions to work on the skills you’re learning. I will simultaneously help you focus on the here-and-now while pushing you to uncover and repair deeper, older patterns of relating to yourself and the world. I also believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and I often employ a variety of techniques from mindfulness, CBT and DBT approaches to enrich our work when useful. My style in the room is direct, empathic, collaborative, and playful. I have significant interest and experience working with LGBTQ+ populations, recent college graduates and young professionals navigating life transitions and identity exploration, and individuals and couples working towards greater relationship satisfaction and intimacy.

After a long and incredibly fulfilling career in oncology social work, I left the medical field choosing instead to transfer all I have learned into the more personal setting of private practice. This has allowed me the wonderful opportunity to really lean in and focus completely on the one-to-one support I had always been so passionate about but rarely had the time to pursue in the hospital. Presently my practice is fully remote. I am collaborative, interactive, and always open to feedback as we take this journey together. As far as my clinical approaches, I draw a great deal of inspiration from meaning-centered psychotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and self-compassion approaches. Most importantly though, my role is to hold space for you, creating an atmosphere of unconditional support and safety so that, together, we can explore and address the challenges you are facing.

I tailor my trauma-informed and strength-based approach to empower clients on their unique path to thriving. I have always been passionate about supporting trauma survivors, which led me to focus the beginning of my career on crisis intervention and counseling survivors of domestic violence. This experience allowed me to hone my expertise in trauma-informed care, which I continue to use in my work with a broader population of clients. My work is exploratory and skill-focused, using solution-focused, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, dialectical-behavioral, and cognitive-behavioral therapeutic principles. I apply these techniques to help clients whose goals include: building self-esteem, healthy relationships, coping with anxiety, depression, & PTSD, becoming more attuned to their emotions, and navigating life transitions. In a session together, clients can expect me to be fully authentic, collaborative, and ready to explore with them! My sessions are conversational and focused on guiding clients to learn more about themselves and build the skills they need to thrive. Skills we focus on may include: building self-compassion, identifying your strengths, developing healthy coping skills, assertive communication skills, and challenging unhelpful thoughts. I believe healing and growth come from a balance of support and challenge. Therefore, I support clients unconditionally and challenge them to look deeper within themselves to explore the roots of their ongoing struggles and past difficulties. Ultimately, I work with each client to create a safe and affirming space where they can be their most authentic self.
