I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 11 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families across community mental health, schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice in both China and the United States. Working across cultures and stages of life has continually reminded me that people cannot be understood in isolation. We are shaped by relationships, history, culture, identity, environment, and the ways we learned to survive and connect.

My approach to therapy is relational, thoughtful, and deeply individualized. I work collaboratively with clients to create a space that feels emotionally safe, open, and alive enough for honest exploration and meaningful change. Clients often describe me as attentive, warm, creative, flexible, and grounded, with a sense of humor that naturally finds its place in the work when helpful.

I offer mobile therapy throughout San Francisco. I believe environment plays an important role in how safe, open, and emotionally present we are able to feel. Many clients find that meeting in familiar or personally meaningful spaces allows for a greater sense of ease, authenticity, and connection within the therapeutic process.

This approach reflects my broader philosophy of therapy as relational, individualized, and grounded in the realities of everyday life rather than isolated from them.

I primarily serve clients throughout San Francisco, with limited availability for nearby surrounding areas depending on location and scheduling.

I believe movement begins when we feel able to bring more of ourselves into the room without fear of judgment, performance, or having to fit someone else’s expectations. Rather than approaching people through assumptions or rigid frameworks, I try to understand each person’s inner world with curiosity, care, and respect for complexity.

My work tends to focus not only on symptoms, but on the deeper patterns, emotional histories, relationships, and systems underneath them. I am interested in lasting transformation, the kind that comes from greater self-understanding, emotional integration, and a more connected relationship with oneself and others.

My practice is shaped by a belief that meaningful care comes from remaining connected to life beyond productivity alone — including creativity, reflection, community, and rest. I bring that orientation into the therapeutic relationship as well.

Outside of therapy, I spend time drawing, sculpting, and making music. My experiences as an artist continue to shape how I listen and relate. I often pay attention not only to words, but also to rhythm, silence, emotion, imagery, and the things that are difficult to articulate directly.

I found that creativity also informs the way I approach therapeutic work itself. Every person’s inner world is different, and I do not believe healing happens through rigid formulas alone. I value flexibility, curiosity, and the ability to think collaboratively and imaginatively with clients, especially when someone feels stuck, disconnected, or difficult to reach through conventional approaches. Rather than Squeeze you into a method, I’m more interested in discovering - or creating - what actually helps you in therapy.

At times, meaningful change begins not through interpretation or advice, but through discovering a new way of seeing, expressing, understanding, or relating to an experience.

• My work is relational, psychodynamic, and embodied. I work with adults navigating treatment-resistant depression, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship difficulties. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

• My approach integrates Psychodynamic and Existential therapy with EMDR, ACT, DBT-informed skills, attachment-focused work, mindfulness-based practices, systems perspectives, creative arts, and exposure and response prevention (ERP). I tailor therapy collaboratively, with attention to each person’s history, nervous system, relationships, and way of meaning making.

• I also offer preparation and integration support for psychedelic experiences, as well as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

• I will never push you toward any specific modality, intervention, or medication. My role is to help you understand your options so that together we can make informed, thoughtful decisions about your care.

• I intentionally maintain a limited caseload in order to offer therapy that is deeply attentive, relational, and individualized.
