Hi, my name is Ning! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves empathy, support, and the opportunity to become their best selves.

For the past seven years, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and older adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, major life transitions, complex mental health conditions. My clinical work focuses on anxiety and mood disorders, and I combine cognitive and somatic techniques with talk therapy to address root causes and foster lasting personal growth.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices. I often integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Therapy. I adapt my approach to your needs—whether you’re seeking structure and skills, deeper self-understanding, or both.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood. In our first sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your goals and building a foundation of trust. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and find practical tools to help you move toward healing, resilience, and growth.
