Therapy will be conducted online via secure video conferencing. Currently in-person sessions are limited.

I do speak Mandarin fluently but I am a 2nd generation immigrant, and my preferred language is English. Although I can conduct therapy in Mandarin, I may have to use English during sessions to clarify terms I don’t understand or cannot communicate effectively in Mandarin. I do not speak Cantonese.

ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, is an evidence-based theoretical orientation that focuses on building awareness of our innate desire for control and changing our perspective on our lives through this lens. Through this awareness, we are then able to change the way we relate to our thoughts, our emotions, and the people and circumstances around us in flexible and adaptive new ways.

Currently I do not take insurance. However, you may be able to request reimbursement from your insurance provider or supplemental insurance provider. I am able to provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients if that helps. I am an in-network provider for Lyra.

I charge $225 per session for a 50-minute session. If this is a financial burden for you, please let me know and we can discuss this further.

If now is not the right time for individual therapy, I recommend my course on Sound Psych: Break Free from Chronic Worry. It’s a great introduction for ACT and applies it directly to helping people manage their anxiety and worry.

I’ve found the clients who are a good fit are ones who may have tried therapy in the past or CBT skills on their own but did not find changing their thoughts or coping skills to be that helpful. People who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives after experiencing sudden shifts in their lives because of great (a new child) or terrible (loss, trauma) events also tend to benefit well from my approach. An appreciation of often irreverent humor even in dark times always helps of course.
