About

I believe therapy works when it is honest about what it is: two people taking your one life seriously, on purpose, every single week. Anything less is just pleasant conversation. My practice grew slowly and entirely by word of mouth, one person telling another that the work here actually works. Panic responds to skilled help faster than almost anyone expects, and watching that relief land never gets old. As a lesbian, I do not treat who I am as incidental to how I practice; it sharpened both my empathy and my nerve. Everything here is gender-affirming by design rather than by disclaimer. I offer therapy in Mandarin for clients who want it. I am direct, decisive, and allergic to wasted time, and my clients tend to like that about me. If you want a therapist who treats your hour like it matters, book an intro session and put me to the test.
