I studied at The University of Melbourne. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist and a Board-approved Supervisor, and am recognised as a FAPS and FCCLP with APS. I have worked extensively in the public & private settings, with an interests in helping: • adults suffering from depression and anxiety on the background of (i) Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and/or (ii) complex trauma (cPTSD), and also • couples experiencing relationship difficulties.
I am trained in a number of evidenced-based therapies: •CBT •MBSR •DBT (intensively trained) •CPT (provider status) •EFT (Level 2 trained) •Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 2 trained). Since every person is different, I draw on different therapies, as relevant, to create an individualized plan to tailor to your personal treatment goals.
I enjoy working in an empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative manner aimed to help you achieve your treatment goals in a safe and respectful environment. I can speak fluent English and Chinese Mandarin. I look forward to working with you. Call or (preferred) email me to get yourself started on your treatment journey.
