About Me:
I grew up in Taiwan and worked in China for five years before moving to the United States in 2021. These cross-cultural experiences have deeply shaped my understanding of culture, identity, and relationships. I earned my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA. I relocated to Philadelphia in 2024 and obtained my associate therapist license (LAPC) in Pennsylvania in 2025. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe enough and supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions.
I have clinical experience working with children, adults and older adults from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating concerns such as grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive lens, and I often draw from drama therapy, self-compassion practices, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and EMDR therapy. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough and supported in exploring their emotions, reconnecting with their inner strengths, and gaining new understanding about their life stories from different perspective with self-compassion. My goal is to walk alongside clients with respect, care, curiosity, compassion, and creativity as they move toward greater self-understanding and well-being.
