You’ve taken the first step to advocate for yourself and your needs…what happens next? Choosing who you’d like to support you through this process can be tough, let me tell you a little about myself and you can decide if we might be a good fit. I believe you know yourself the best and I’m here to help you explore where you’re currently at, what you’re wanting and needing, and what might be keeping you from the life that you’d like to see yourself live.

My style of counseling is person-centered and collaborative, meaning I believe you deserve to be seen and heard with respect and without judgment. I recognize that you are unique and trying to make your way through life in a way that is authentic to you and it’s nice to have someone to connect with and get some support along the way. No matter where we are in life, I believe we could all benefit from having someone to talk to.

I’m a Professional Counselor Associate, supervised by Katia Duncan, LCSW. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults in areas of identity exploration, managing stress, anxiety, and depression, Asian American mental health, and women’s health. I integrate the therapeutic approaches of Humanistic Therapy, Multicultural Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’m a 1.5 generation Chinese-American, born and raised in SE Portland, and hold a Master of Science in Counseling from Portland State University and a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Washington. Before joining Portland Mental Health and Wellness I worked in various counseling, teaching, and data analysis roles in K-12 education, and worked in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry.

If any of what I’ve shared resonates with you, let’s connect and figure out what could be supportive for you.
