I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts, dedicated to providing individual and couples therapy for young adults and adults. With two decades of experience in various clinical settings, including university counseling centers and community mental health facilities, I have honed my ability to address a wide range of mental health needs.  My expertise specifically focuses on anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I specialize in helping clients who struggle with anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks. I have empowered high-achieving professionals in crafting lives that align with their core values and aspirations. Additionally, I support college and graduate students as they navigate life transitions and discover their identities. I helped young professionals tackle the complexities of emerging adulthood, helping them better meet the demands of work, relationships, and personal goals.  My work includes addressing relationship challenges and family conflicts, helping clients untangle these intricate emotional issues. I also assist couples in resolving conflicts and reigniting their connection. 

I utilize a strengths-based, humanistic approach to therapy, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment informed approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. 

My academic journey includes a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University Chicago and a master’s degree in Counseling from Santa Clara University. I completed an APA-accredited internship at Southern Illinois University Carbondale Counseling and Psychological Services, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Tufts University Counseling and Mental Health Services. I gained valuable experience as a staff psychologist at both the University of New Hampshire and Harvard University.

Throughout my decades of experience, I have been continually inspired by the remarkable resilience of individuals and their passionate pursuit of a better life. It is a privilege to accompany you on this transformative journey. Together, we will embrace your true self, unlock your inner strength, and equip you with effective strategies to overcome the challenges you face.

Growing up in China has provided me with a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of navigating different cultures. This background enriches my practice, allowing me to approach therapy through a multicultural lens. I am also bilingual, offering psychotherapy in both English and Mandarin, which enables me to connect with clients on a deeper level. Your journey toward healing and growth is important to me, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
