As an Asian American woman who immigrated from Taiwan at a young age to Southern California, I am familiar with adapting to clashing cultures and values. It took some time to discover how I wanted to spend most of my waking hours after two different careers in the field of higher education. I say very confidently now that I absolutely love what I do. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) because these models closely align with my ideals in healing emotional wounds. These models work well with trauma and trauma related wounds. I would consider myself an active therapist who likes to engage with my clients. What excites me about therapy is how transformational it can be for anyone and it is extremely rewarding to be a part of that journey.
