I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience helping individuals heal relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them. My approach is client-centered and integrative, combining evidence-based methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy and structural family therapy with tools inspired by Jungian psychology and the Medicine Wheel. I create a safe and compassionate space for clients to explore their inner world, address emotional pain, and find clarity in their relationships. Together, we work to uncover new perspectives, foster resilience, and create meaningful, transformative change.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Miami, Fl, my passion for helping others came at an early age. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work at Florida International University and later a PhD in Social Welfare at the City University of New York Graduate Center. My clinical training was in adult psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. In my private practice, I assist adults with depression, anxiety, health problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, work stress, breakup, infertility, and parenting.
