My counseling approach is to first help you clarify your presenting problems from an integrated mind-body-spirit-environment perspective. I utilize mindfulness to help you to develop clarity in the present moment, and with depth psychology, psychodynamic, EMDR, art therapy, Jungian psychology, and focusing-oriented psychotherapy to help you explore and embrace your SELF, inner wisdom, and unconscious awareness for healing. Through processing unhealed wounds in the past, we can unveil the authentic SELF, and finding life meanings to journey on.

I work to validate each client’s resources, supports, and unique strengths to change their current situation towards a better quality of life. I am dedicated to continual professional development through the newest empirically researched treatment methods, and seek to combine this knowledge with a compassionate client-centered perspective.

I am fluent in both Mandarin and English and I find it very fulfilling to work with a diverse range of clients. Ultimately, I believe that every human being strives to live a meaningful, fulfilling, and happy life with positive social experience.
