About me
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”

As a POC myself, I am passionate about working with adults going through challenging life experiences such as sexual trauma, emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and attachment issues. Been an Asian, I am aware of the culture difference among the mental health world in Western culture. I am passionate working with people are struggling with the adjustment to a different culture or how culture difference has played a role in your relationship to others.
With an open mind, I’d like to create a sense of warmth and compassion in my sessions. I believe in the following teaching received from a supervisor: “contact over time creates connection, connection over time creates relationship, and relationship over time creates intimacy.” I strongly believe that through an authentic, compassionate connection individuals can resolve and heal relational wounds.
I have received continuing training in Gestalt Therapy from Gestalt Institute of Rockies and Pacific Gestalt Institute. I have received Somatic Studies Center Gestalt training from New York. And also identified myself as IFS (Internal Family System ) therapist and EMDR therapist. I provide bilingual therapy services with Chinese (Mandarin) and English. I am considered myself a LGBTQ allied therapist and welcome any people from marginalized populations.
