I’m happy you’re here. That means you’re ready to grow, to heal, and to reconnect with the version of you that feels whole, grounded, and fully seen. And I want you to know that decision alone is powerful.

If you’ve been feeling unwanted, unloved, or like you’re just going through the motions, always strong for everyone else but silently crumbling inside, you may be struggling with anxious thoughts that won’t stop, battling low moods that steal your energy, or carrying emotional wounds that no one else can see. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you’re just tired of pretending to be okay when you’re not.

I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all together, where you can take the mask off, speak your truth, and feel heard without judgment.

My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and genuine connection. I help my clients explore the negative thought patterns and emotional blocks that have been keeping them stuck while also recognizing the strengths they already have.

Together, we work to reframe how you see yourself, heal from past pain, and develop the tools you need to move forward with more confidence, clarity, and calm.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s about helping you reconnect with the resilient, powerful version of yourself that’s already there.

So, if you’re ready to release what’s been weighing you down and start your healing journey, I’m here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s take that next step together.

One of the most meaningful parts of being a therapist is witnessing the awareness, confidence, and change that can unfold when someone chooses to invest in themselves. My work is dedicated exclusively to adults who are ready to better understand themselves, work through emotional challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on your individual needs. Our therapeutic relationship will be a team effort, with both of us working toward the goals and outcomes that matter most to you. Together, we will create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly, recognize your strengths, explore what may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to support lasting growth.

As both an athlete and a therapist with specialized training in sport and health psychology, I bring personal understanding and professional expertise to the mental and emotional demands associated with competition, fitness, and performance.

This specialized background allows me to support adult athletes, coaches, fitness professionals, and individuals engaged in exercise or performance-based routines. Our work may focus on overcoming mental blocks, building confidence, strengthening motivation, improving focus and attention, managing stress, setting meaningful goals, and reframing the mindset patterns that may be affecting performance or consistency.

You do not have to be a professional athlete to benefit from mental performance support. Whether you compete at a high level, participate recreationally, coach others, or want to feel more focused and confident in your fitness journey, we can develop strategies that strengthen both your mindset and overall emotional well-being.

Seeking support takes courage, but the time and effort you dedicate to your growth can become one of your most valuable investments. If you are looking for compassionate online therapy in Illinois or specialized mental performance support for adults and athletes, I would be honored to work alongside you.

If you’re balancing work, caregiving, major life changes, while quietly masking depression, anxiety, or both, and have been carrying too much for too long, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to manage it all by yourself.

I provide counseling to individuals women who are experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I also offer couples counseling and relationship counseling for partners who feel disconnected, stuck in cycles of conflict, or struggling to communicate in a healthy way. Many couples come to therapy feeling emotionally distant, overwhelmed by recurring arguments, navigating trust issues, or wanting to rebuild intimacy and closeness.

Many of the people I work with are capable, resilient, and accustomed to showing up for others, yet privately feel exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.

I understand that stress, burnout, and relationship challenges often go deeper than surface-level symptoms. In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns, relationships, and life experiences that may be contributing to how you’re feeling. Couples often find that unspoken expectations, unresolved hurt, miscommunication, or life transitions can quietly strain a relationship over time, even when both partners care deeply and want things to improve.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, breathe, gain clarity, and begin to feel more balanced and supported. Whether you are working through anxiety, navigating a major life transition, healing conflict in your marriage, rebuilding trust, or strengthening emotional and physical intimacy, you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s happening, finding answers that make sense, and building a path toward relief, connection, and meaningful change.

You deserve to feel comfortable being yourself, recognize your worth, and know that your feelings matter. Sometimes we spend so much time showing up for others that we forget to show up for ourselves. We may struggle with self-doubt, question our worth, experience difficulties in our relationships, or find ourselves putting everyone else’s needs before our own. It can be difficult to know where to begin, especially when you’ve been carrying so much for so long.

You deserve a space where you can let your guard down, express what’s on your mind, and be met with understanding rather than judgment. A space where you don’t have to minimize your feelings, explain away your experiences, or pretend that everything is okay.

My goal is to create that space with you. Through genuine connection, compassion, encouragement, and honest conversations, we can explore the challenges you’re facing and identify ways to move forward. Whether you’re working through relationship difficulties, rebuilding trust, learning to establish boundaries, or finding confidence in yourself, your experiences and your goals matter.

Growth isn’t about having everything figured out or getting it right every time. It’s about learning to give yourself grace, recognizing when you deserve more, and becoming comfortable advocating for your own needs. I want to encourage you to see the strengths you already have while supporting you through the areas where you’d like to grow.

You deserve to feel confident in who you are, comfortable with the boundaries you set, and secure in the relationships you build. No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve the opportunity to put yourself first, embrace your growth, and become a version of yourself that you feel proud of.

Do you find yourself repeating the same painful patterns in relationships or feeling overwhelmed by a past that won’t let you go? Are you feeling disconnected and anxious? I want to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where together, we can gently explore the deeper layers of your struggles at a pace that feels right for you, especially how your past shapes the way you relate today. While I will offer you coping tools, I also want to help you recognize your inner strength and ability to heal. I want you to believe that it is possible to rewrite your story and to feel more secure within yourself.

As a Chinese third-culture kid with extensive life experience in Europe and the US, my own identity and experiences inform my practice. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals and families navigating cultural adjustment, diaspora identity, and the complex layers of belonging. I provide therapy in English and Chinese (Mandarin).

My immersion in Buddhist and Daoist philosophies helps me to offer a therapeutic space that integrates mindfulness, equanimity, and compassion. For what is hard to express verbally, I integrate arts-based therapies - including visual art, movement, and drama. I have also received extensive child therapy supervision and training in eco-sytemic family therapy.

Do you feel like your past is still showing up in your present? If you find yourself just trying to get through the day, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re definitely not alone. And more importantly, it doesn’t have to stay this way.

I work with individuals who want to gently face and process past trauma or emotional pain so it no longer feels like it’s controlling their lives. Many people come to therapy struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, or feeling like they’re constantly stuck in survival mode. In our work together, you will begin to understand what you’ve been through, how it’s impacting you now, and how to start moving forward with greater clarity, stability, and trust in yourself.
