I moved to New York City from Shanghai in 2016, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges of adjusting to a new culture. My experience growing up in China helps me understand how cultural influences shape mental health. I see struggles as knots to be untangled with warmth, empathy, and genuineness. I specialize in working with young adults on issues like perfectionism, identity, self-esteem, anxiety, and relationships, offering therapy in both English and Mandarin.
