I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a solid foundation in providing bilingual (Mandarin/English) mental health assessments and treatment. Skilled in traditional talk therapy, trauma-informed care, and innovative experiential modalities, I have successfully managed over 200 cases, improving mental health outcomes for underprivileged populations in the Chicago area. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, & abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and will practice cultural humility to better start from where my client is. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
