As a first generation Chinese American, Ellen’s clinical interests include working with clients to explore family of origin and bicultural/multicultural narratives, particularly surrounding cultural expectations, perfectionism, and values. She also acknowledges the importance of intersectionality in understanding a client’s presenting issues, honors each individual’s diverse backgrounds, and provides a safe space for clients to feel seen and heard.

Working from a culturally-sensitive and evidence-based framework, Ellen is committed to providing her clients with empathy, warmth, and authenticity, to create a safe space for growth and exploration. She works with clients of all ages, in both individual and family therapy formats.

Her integrative style results in a therapeutic relationship that promotes self-awareness, builds coping and resilience, uncovers clients’ inherent strengths, and helps clients to develop the strategies needed to move forward in their lives.
