About Me
I am a gay, second generation Chinese-American (ABC). I completed my training at New York University's Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program in 2009, culminating in over 300 hours of supervised practicum experience with a focus on first-generation university students.
Beyond my work with students, I’ve dedicated over 3,000 hours to community mental health at Interborough Developmental & Consultation Center, supporting primarily Black, Latine/Latinx, multiethnic, and multicultural families and adults with acute needs.
At Flatiron Mental Health Counseling, I further developed my expertise in working primarily with women and LGBTQIA+ individuals with various intersectionalities from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
In 2018, I launched my private practice in Seattle, Washington. My work has since encompassed supporting individuals in the tech sector, as well as developing a focused practice serving gay, QPOC, expats, and Asian American Pacific Islander clients.
While not working, I enjoy the outdoors, good food, and spending time with my senior dog, Peanut.
