Experiences

+ My graduate training was rooted in multicultural competency and social justice. I have dedicated my work in + various settings, including hospitals, community clinics, and college counseling settings in the US. I received + my pre-doctoral internship at Hamilton-Madison House in New York City and completed my post-doctoral residency + training at Reed College in Oregon. My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. My theoretical + orientation adopts an integrative approach, incorporating psychodynamic, DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy), + ACT (acceptance and commitment), mindfulness and interpersonal process. I have particular interests in helping + individuals adapt to different cultures, dealing with family issues, relationships, identities, trauma, grief, + and other developmental issues. As a cis-female and first-generation Taiwanese immigrant, I understand how + important it is to consider the impact of systematic oppression on intersecting identities and mental health. + I strive to take a perspective of social justice and honor your cultural contexts whether they are a source + of pride or marginalization in helping me understand your lived experiences. +

Welcome to my practice!

+ + Do you often feel stuck in life and constantly juggle between personal space and various obligations? + Are you feeling emotionally âtrappedâ from the past and having a desire to move past this? + Allow yourself â Take a pause; Notice the vibe; Change with inner strength. Letâs begin this journey + through unlearning the old pattern from the past and relearning a healthy way of living. + +

+ + Currently I am in-network with Aetna; for other insurances, Iâm an out-of-network provider, which means that + I do not accept other insurances. My fee starts at $200 per 50-min session. I can provide Superbill statements + for you to receive reimbursement for most if not all of my fee from your insurance company. You can find out + more about your out-of-network benefits by calling your insurance carrier. If you have any questions, feel free + to contact me. + +

+ + Please note: If you are experiencing financial hardship as a barrier to care, I have some limited availability + for a reduced fee. Sliding scale may be available upon request. + +
