I believe therapy is for everyone, at all ages and various stages of life, as long as they are ready to show up and intentionally engage. The internal and external barriers we face can block us from growing into a more fulfilled version of ourselves. Oftentimes, calling out what is present can provide some relief and clarity.

I welcome discussions of intersectionality in therapy, whether or not they have previously been explored. As a first-generation Chinese American, I do my best to remain aware of my own identities and privileges. We will work to understand who you are at this stage of life, how you interact with others, how you navigate the world, and where behaviors stem from. I value humor, growth, openness, transparency, creativity, and balance- in practice and in life.

I graduated from Simmons University in Boston, MA with my Masters in Social Work and Business Administration, gaining a solid foundation as a clinician and the ability to understand organizations from a macro perspective. I have experience working with adolescents and young adults, previously working with a non-profit serving homeless and at-risk youth in Boston and with Alternatives Inc. in the communities of Chicago. I have worked in schools, hospitals, primary care clinics, and even O’Hare International airport.

I currently practice out of For Real Therapy part-time and offer chemistry calls to determine if we would be a good fit. Feel free to reach out to our intake coordinator for more information about how we can get connected!
