I specialize in art therapy, and am fluent in both Mandarin（提供中文服務）and English–sessions can be provided in both languages. Through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, client-centered approach, I support individuals navigating relationships, trauma, marginalization, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-discovery, and other therapeutic goals. I believe the therapeutic process is non-linear and there is no one approach or modality for all since we all have unique stories. I walk alongside clients to help find what best suits them while considering their strengths, needs, and goals.

My intersections as a bi-cultural, Taiwanese, first-generation immigrant woman give me insight into how cultural factors influence personal, relational, intergenerational, and systemic aspects of the human experience. These identities and my lived experience equip me to work with an intersectional lens and help develop a deep understanding towards clients.

As someone who continues to navigate and heal through interpersonal, familial relationships and intergenerational trauma, especially within the context of transitioning between cultures, I understand the challenges and pain my clients may be experiencing. I see you and would like to invite you to reach out and see how I can best support you on your journey.

I work with attachment, the body/nervous system, unhelpful thoughts/behaviours and will walk alongside you as we explore together. My approach is collaborative and I will never force you to go to places you are not ready for. I also integrate art into sessions as art can be used as a container for memories and stories/narratives that may reveal messages and beliefs from the unconscious mind.
