Hello, I'm so glad you're here!

I'm a certified IFS therapist, IFS Institute approved clinical consultant and trainer, and private practice owner based in California.

With over a decade of experience, I offer holistic and experiential therapy services to individuals and couples. My focus is on helping those dealing with complex trauma, attachment wounds, and issues related to immigration and minority experiences. I also provide supervision, consultation, training, and workshops for fellow mental health professionals.

In addition to my clinical practice, I have a passion for writing and speaking about mental wellness. I wrote a best-selling self-help book in China on healing attachment trauma (2018) and co-authored a clinical training book on crisis intervention (2020). You can explore my publications here.

You can also join me on my YouTube channel, where I discuss love, marriage, family, emotional struggles, personal growth, and more, all from a psychological and cultural perspective. My mission is to increase education, understanding, and awareness of mental health in diverse communities.

On a more personal note, I immigrated from China to the U.S. in my early 20s.

Having built my life anew in this country, I understand how scary and lonely it is when facing transitions. Thanks to my support system, I also know how relieved and reassuring it is to have someone there for me.

Outside of work, I enjoy writing. I consider writing as a way to get in touch with and stay faithful to the authentic self.

Meditation has been an essential part of my daily routine. It helps me return to, and remain in, the present moment—to anchor myself in the here and now on purpose, without judgment.

I am a strong advocate of diversity and inclusion. I served as the Co-Chair at API Social Work Council, California Chapter of NASW from 2019 to 2020.
