Frequently Asked Questions

I work with adults, children, teens, and families. Many of my clients are struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, perfectionism, parent-child dynamics, cultural identity issues, or major life transitions.

Some are high-achieving individuals who feel stuck and overwhelmed, even while doing everything “right,” they fear that they haven’t done enough. Others are parents looking for support as they raise emotionally healthy children. I also have extensive experience supporting AAPI clients and immigrant families as they navigate the nuanced layers of intergenerational expectations, cultural shifts, and healing from relational trauma.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to tailor care based on your needs, as insurance companies can dictate frequency and duration of your treatment, and may also audit your private record.

However, I can provide a monthly itemized superbill for clients who wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance company. It’s a good idea to contact your insurance provider to learn about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

If you're unsure how to begin, I’m happy to walk you through the process during our free consultation.

I offer secure, online therapy to clients in:

• California

• Texas

• Washington, Nevada, and Florida (via PSYPACT)

Sessions take place via a HIPAA-compliant video platform, offering convenience and flexibility wherever you are. Therapy is available in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and culturally attuned support is at the heart of my work.

Each individual therapy session is typically 50 minutes; each family therapy session is typically 60 minutes.

The frequency of sessions depends on your needs and goals — most clients begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency and build momentum. As progress is made, we may adjust the pace to best support your ongoing growth and healing.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I blend evidence-based practices (like CBT, ACT, EFFT, FBT, and compassion-focused work) with a deep respect for your lived experience. You’ll find a space that’s not only safe and judgment-free—but one where insight, healing, and meaningful actions can happen.

We’ll work together to gently connect the dots between your past and present, build tools to meet your current needs, and take steps toward a life aligned with your values. If needed, I’ll also coordinate care with your other providers (psychiatrists, dietitians, pediatricians) to ensure you feel supported from all angles.

That’s completely okay — starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to be in crisis or have everything figured out to begin. If you're feeling unsure, we can start with a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether therapy might be helpful for you at this time. You’ll get a sense of what it’s like to talk with me, and we’ll go at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.

Yes, I offer therapy for children, adolescents, and their families.

With younger children, I may work directly with caregivers through family sessions or parent consultations to support the child’s growth while building emotional safety and skills at home.

With teens, therapy is both developmentally appropriate and respectful of their privacy. I create a space where teens can talk honestly while ensuring parents stay informed in ways that support—not hinder—their child’s progress. I also talk openly about confidentiality, so everyone knows what to expect and where boundaries are.

Depending on the child’s needs, treatment may include individual sessions, family sessions, caregiver support, or collaboration with schools and healthcare providers.

Absolutely. Healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—social support is vital. When appropriate, I welcome loved ones into the process. This may include psychoeducation, parent coaching, or sessions focused on strengthening communication patterns and improving the overall emotional environment.

The goal is not to place blame, but to equip everyone involved with a clearer understanding and shared language to support healing together.
