Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families impacted by trauma and folks who are from multicultural backgrounds and navigating through identity issues. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I work to empower you through strength-based approaches that encourage self-acceptance and growth. I use a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and intersectional framework throughout our work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know you. I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy, the concerns you’re currently facing, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process. I will also explain my approach, answer any questions you may have, and work with you to begin outlining a plan that supports your goals and growth.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
My work is guided by person-centered therapy principles and I value building and maintaining a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients. I also incorporate a variety of evidence-based approaches depending on my client’s individual needs. These include trauma-informed care, CBT techniques, ACT skills, and mindfulness-based interventions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a first-generation Chinese American, I bring a strong interest and extensive experience in working with issues related to identity development, multicultural adjustment, and racism and oppression.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Life is an ever-changing and often challenging journey, it’s not uncommon to find yourself feeling confused, frustrated, and stuck. You might be juggling numerous responsibilities, questioning whether it’s time for a change, or feeling dissatisfied despite your accomplishments. Wherever you are in your journey, you are not alone, and therapy can be a meaningful space for self-exploration and growth.
