Hello and thank you for visiting Apex Psychology!

As a licensed psychologist based in Apex, North Carolina, I bring over a decade of experience in mental health counseling and psychological services. Originally from China, I earned my MSW at the University of Washington in Seattle in 2015 and later obtained my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana in 2021. 

I completed an APA-accredited predoctoral internship at Penn State University's Counseling and Psychological Services and gained postdoctoral experience at the North Carolina State University Counseling Center. Beyond college counseling, I also worked in various community mental health clinics.

In my work with clients, I prioritize creating a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment where they feel heard and understood. To achieve this, I provide culturally sensitive treatments tailored to each individual, taking into account the unique cultural background and contextual factors. Above all else, I deeply value the relationships I build with my clients, viewing them as a fundamental component of effective therapy and a catalyst for meaningful change.

My practice is unique because I carry a smaller caseload, allowing me to be fully present with my clients and build quality connections. This approach provides me with the time to reflect on my work, seek additional consultation and training, and stay current with the latest findings in the field. My holistic, client-centered approach empowers individuals to take an active role in their healing process within a welcoming setting. I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of ages and professions, from college and graduate students to established professionals.
