It takes tremendous courage to see a therapist. A safe environment and a trustful relationship are the first things I provide. People are complex; your ethnicity, sexuality, spirituality, personality, values, and unique background will be appreciated here. I will listen to you carefully and understand you deeply. Together we will find the best way to identify and meet your needs. I will help you with relationships, stress, anxiety, and shame. We will empower you from what is painful in your experience, so that you will feel more alive, have more compassion toward yourself, and create new meaning in your life.
As a clinical psychologist, I’m licensed in Massachusetts and California. I provide therapy for adults, adolescents, and couples in English and Mandarin. Issues mostly evolve around depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, adjustment, identity, self-defeating behaviors, and dysfunctional close relationships. I integrate DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and multiculturalism.
I love running groups. Past groups include DBT Skills System, social anxiety, anger management, SMART Recovery, meditation, process groups, and support groups for family members whose child has mental disorders.
Please feel free to contact me for an initial consultation. And take your time finding a therapist you like, who seems open-minded and non-defensive, or who you feel appreciates your unique challenges and hopes. You deserve good company for this courageous journey.
I provide psychological evaluation. If you are wondering if you have depression, anxiety, or just something seems to be wrong, I am here to evaluate the situation for you and make recommendations for your next step towards your mental health and well-being.
I utilize a secure, HIPAA-compliant live video-conferencing platform to provide evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment. The online platform is free and easy to use.
I provide consultation for school counselors and staff to develop effective interventions for international students. If you have international students at your school who are struggling and you would like to get support in better understanding the cultural differences and family dynamics, find alternative ways of communicating with the students and their families, and make breakthroughs in your work with them, it would be my honor to support you with my knowledge and insights.
I provide workshops to Employee Resource Groups in organizations on issues that bridge mental wellness and cultural understanding. Former clients include MIT and Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
I give invited speeches at organizations in the US and China, including Harvard, MIT, Columbia University, 北京十一学校, 华南师大附中. I speak to students, parents, faculty, staff, and mental health professionals on issues of mental wellness, adjustment, and balanced success.
I provide regular and as-needed supervision and consultation to licensed and to-be-licensed mental health professionals to foster treatment efficacy and professional growth.
