Clinicians and Staff
I was born and raised in Dalian, a harbor city of a 6-million population in Northern China. I spent most of my childhood with my grandparents, who taught me Chinese traditional virtues and responsibilities. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature at Northeastern University in China. I came to America at age 23 and obtained a Master’s Degree in Human Services, majoring in Child and Family Studies, in 2006. In 2014, I obtained a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. During the years, I have worked at various mental health places, such as community mental health centers, correctional facilities, Illinois state government, and private practice. Learn more...

Offering counseling services and working with individuals of various backgrounds who have been through or are going through adverse life experiences is something that I value greatly.

I seek to provide a safe, healing space where individuals can feel comfortable expressing themselves and offering support to them in a non-judgmental manner using a variety of different strategies.
