My Background
I was born and raised in Taiwan and later moved to New York to pursue higher education. From an early age, I’ve been deeply curious about people’s inner worlds and about the ways we connect, communicate, and influence one another. Over the years, I’ve navigated my challenges and supported others through theirs, which has shaped me into someone deeply empathetic, curious, and caring.
I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals and couples, each with their own unique story. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for what makes each person and relationship special, while also highlighting the threads we all share—the desire to feel accepted, authentic, and truly connected.
I’m passionate about exploring how our upbringing, culture, and the systems around us shape who we are and how we show up in our relationships. My journey of creating space to live authentically and with intention informs my work, especially with people who are juggling many roles or navigating complex relational dynamics.
I believe we all sit in the driver’s seat of our lives—or the shared driver’s seat of a relationship. But it’s hard to steer while reading the map, tending to passengers, and noticing the scenery. My role as a therapist is to sit beside you, pointing out what you might be too focused to see, offering perspective, and following your lead toward healing and growth. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, but the journey feels lighter when you don’t have to navigate it alone.
My Approach and Specialities
My work is relational, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic approaches. With training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I help couples recognize their patterns, communicate more openly and vulnerably, and create a deeper emotional bond.
As a queer Asian therapist, I offer a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and grow at your own pace. My areas of focus include anxiety and stress, relationship conflicts, trauma, people-pleasing, and challenges with prioritizing yourself and your values. I believe that our environments and experiences shape our relationships, identities, and inner narratives, and we have the power to break free from patterns that no longer serve us, moving toward deeper connection and emotional resilience.
In our work together, I help you tune into yourself and each other to find clarity and direction. I gently guide the process with insight, reflection, and practical tools when they feel helpful. Sessions might involve problem-solving, untangling thoughts and emotions, or sitting with the complexities of being vulnerable humans whether that means exploring childhood wounds, reimagining patterns in your relationship, or sharing a lighthearted moment about your favorite shows.
