My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, and I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and valued. I hold a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Nurse Practice and a Master of Science in Nursing. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin, which allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and provide culturally sensitive care. My treatment methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based interventions, and medication management. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working at Happier Living, Mindful Health Solutions, and Aurora Charter Oak, where I gained extensive experience in psychiatric care. I’m also licensed to practice in multiple states, including California, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. Staying active in organizations like the American Psychiatric Nurses Association helps me stay informed on the best practices in mental health care. If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

How do you work with clients with depression?

I work with clients with depression by creating individualized care plans that may include CBT, DBT, and medication management. My approach focuses on identifying underlying causes, addressing negative thought patterns, and fostering emotional resilience. I provide a safe, supportive space to help clients regain balance, improve mood, and enhance their quality of life.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I help clients with anxiety by using evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness-based therapy. Together, we identify triggers, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop coping strategies to reduce symptoms. I also incorporate relaxation techniques and, when appropriate, medication management to support clients in achieving a sense of calm and control.

How can you provide care remotely?

I offer telehealth services across multiple states, providing convenient, accessible care for adults and seniors. Using secure platforms, I deliver evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning to address various mental health conditions while ensuring privacy and comfort.
