Counselors

Our life experiences, particularly our early relationships, shape how we view ourselves and others and navigate relationships. We might be grateful for some experiences that helped you manage your life and relationships well. But some experiences may be painful and challenging to process, understand, and come to terms with. As a result, we have learned to compensate for these difficult life experiences and have developed ways of living that caused us to be stuck in patterns that may have resulted in us feeling depressed, anxious, and lonely and having difficulties with forming meaningful and supportive relationships.

There is hope, and counseling allows you to examine your life experiences and discover what has kept you stuck in old patterns. I strive to deeply understand and empathize with each client, tailoring interventions to their unique needs. Working through these stuck patterns can lead to healing and transformation in a warm, safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. Thus, one can thrive and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

With a Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree from the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to address the spiritual issues that some clients may find relevant to their problems. My experience includes working at an Asian Community Mental Health Clinic in Los Angeles, serving as an Assistant Professor of Counseling Studies at the China Graduate School of Theology, Hong Kong, and founding and managing a Christian Counseling Center in Hong Kong.

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland. My office is in Rockville, MD, and I offer in-person and telehealth appointments. I am fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

I am here to support you on your healing journey. With flexible appointment hours, including Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the mornings and afternoons, I aim to make the process as convenient as possible. I also offer telehealth appointments for added flexibility. To take the first step, call 202-735-1870 for a 20-minute free consultation.
