Hello, I'm Fei, AMFT (she/her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #143328

Do you struggle with effective communication and setting boundaries with your family?
Do you feel lonely and not seen in your intimate relationships?
Do you ever feel conflicted within yourself about going after what you really want?
Relationships with our loved ones and with ourselves can be complicated. I understand how hard it can be to change relational dynamics and how powerless you might feel at times. Yet, I see your grit - you’re right here, digging for answers, and that means a lot, so props to you for making moves and shaking things up in your life.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families in the realm of relationships. I help individuals foster nurturing relationships with their various selves, assist couples in deepening connections and repairing relational wounds, and aid families in adopting new strategies to balance individuality and togetherness.
My theoretical approaches I feel most aligned with are Experiential and Psychodynamic approaches, especially EFT which stands for Emotionally Focused Therapy. My goal is to foster a secure relationship with you, providing a safe space for self-exploration, gaining insights, and addressing areas of desired change. Understanding your unique perspective is crucial to our work—I meet you where you are and strive to see things from your perspective. Change begins when you find safety to express vulnerability, learn self-validation, differentiate the present from the past, and consciously exercise your agency and autonomy that enable your freedom.
Beyond being a therapist, I'm also a mother, daughter, wife, and a first-generation Chinese American. I've had the opportunity to live and study in various Asian regions as well as in the United States and Canada. Prior to relocating to California, I spent a decade working and living in New York, where I was involved in both the media industry and the startup world. I hold two master's degrees and am currently pursuing a PsyD degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
As a multicultural individual, I deeply understand how our different identities shape our complex sense of self, and I recognize how challenging it can be at times when our different parts are in conflict with each other. In moments of integrating and redefining yourself as a complete individual, you don't have to navigate this journey alone. I am committed to standing alongside you, providing support and guidance as you strive for self-congruence. Sometimes, we overlook the superpower we possess, and all it takes is a bit of exploration and reclaiming. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to offer my full support.
