About

English | 中文 I work with individuals, couples, and families on issues such as trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship stress, cross-cultural transitions, and interracial or intercultural relationship concerns. For couples and families, I offer premarital counseling and support for building stronger, healthier communication and intimacy. I also provide immigration mental health evaluations for Extreme Hardship, Asylum, VAWA, and U/T-visa cases. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin and provide virtual therapy for clients located in MD, DC, and VA, as well as in-person sessions at my offices in North Bethesda and College Park, MD. My approach is eclectic. I integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based methods like EFIT for trauma and individual healing. For couples and families, I incorporate the Gottman Method, EFT, Bowen theory, and systemic approaches. I also offer premarital packages using Prepare/Enrich and SYMBIS.
