ABOUT

With over 7 years of diverse healthcare experience, I have worked across public health, critical care, and psychiatric mental health inpatient hospital settings. 

I have seen mostly adult patients, with common psychiatric mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and OCD.

I am passionate about mental health and the impact it has not just on a person’s wellbeing and future, but on families, communities, and society as a whole. Throughout my career, I have found deep fulfillment in caring for individuals of all ages, feeling both humbled and inspired by each person’s journey toward mental wellness. 

I am dedicated to fostering genuine, authentic connections with my clients, creating a foundation of trust and collaboration. I take a personalized, client-centered approach, working closely with each individual to identify meaningful treatment goals. By integrating evidence-based care, psychotherapy, education, medication management, and community-building, I empower my clients to build on their strengths and achieve lasting well-being.

FUN FACT

I was born and raised in China and came to the United States as an adult immigrant. I worked as a civil engineer and then a teacher before pursuing my passion in nursing. As a former international volunteer, I served many disadvantaged and marginalized populations within rural communities.

I worked with volunteers from around the world and developed a deep love and appreciation for cultural diversity. Recognized as a Minority Doctoral Fellow by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and an active member of prestigious nursing associations, I strive for excellence in every aspect of my profession. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, hiking, and spending time with my husband, two children, and our dogs.
