About Me
I practice evidence-based psychotherapy, in particular cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), integrating skills from various schools of psychology (e.g., skills from dialectical behavior therapy). I also have extensive experience working with couples. In particular, I practice cognitive behavioral couple therapy (CBCT) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to promote relationship strength for couples whose relationships are under stress.
I grew up in Shanghai, China, and completed undergraduate at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (Go Blue!). I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill and completed my predoctoral internship (2020-2021) at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York. I proudly served as the front-line mental health provider in the face of COVID-19.
Invited Talks and community services
Outside work, I connect with local and national organizations to deliver evidence-based psychosocial workshops, lectures, podcasts, etc., to promote mental health knowledge. I lead a support group for Chinese international students, providing a safe space to process challenging study abroad experiences. I also work with mental health institutions in China and disseminate evidence-based psychosocial interventions.
