About me
I am a gay, second generation Chinese-American (ABC) who has lived in three different countries. I completed my training at New York University's Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program in 2009, culminating over 300 hours of supervised practicum experience with a focus on first-generation university students.
Beyond my work with students, I’ve dedicated over 3,000 hours to community mental health at Interborough Developmental & Consultation Center, supporting primarily Black, Latine/Latinx, multiethnic, and multicultural families and adults with acute needs in Brooklyn.
At Flatiron Mental Health Counseling, I further developed my expertise in working primarily with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals with various intersectional identities in New York City.

In a New York City group practice, I further developed my expertise in working primarily with women with various intersectionalities, including LBTQ, Black, women of color from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
In 2018, I launched my private practice in Seattle, Washington. My work has since encompassed supporting individuals in the tech sector, as well as developing a focused practice serving gay, QPOC, and Asian, Pacific Islander clients.

Approach
As social beings, the need for fulfilling and satisfying relationships are crucial for emotional health and well-being. Internalized messages from past relationships and broader environmental life experiences influence how we connect at work, studies, social groups, family, and other interpersonal dynamics.
The core of relational and psychodynamic work is to help you gain deeper insight with your thought patterns and behaviors from a professional who is trained to listen objectively. Together, we will take the time to explore your relational self, unconscious influences, and cultivate greater self-awareness, enabling you to show up more authentically in all areas of your life.
I believe you will find our work together engaging, supportive, and illuminating.
