Suffering often stems from little nurturing relationships, spiritual injurious experiences. Fear and hopelessness become imprisoned in the body. Family and culture can dictate how safe and acceptable it is to express and be yourself. My Taiwanese immigrant experience allows me empathic perspective with people navigating life transitions and cultural adjustment. At Embodied Way Psychotherapy PLLC, I strive to empower people within the context of systemic injustice and complications. My work is to provide compassion, guidance, and path for you to feel fully alive and authentic in your body, as in your world and relationships.
I am a Dance/Movement Therapist trained in EMDR and NeuroAffective Touch. I specialized in working with different body dynamics, somatic reflection, emotions, fragmented parts, and mindfulness to release trauma, pain, anxiety, negative perceptions of self, and other types of attachment wounds. Acceptance and self-love in grief and identity loss. Bilingual.
It's never easy to reach out; stepping out of your comfort zone can be scary and exhausting. I understand. I will work with you step by step. I firmly believe people can restore their wholeness with the unwavering support. You have the right to thrive and achieve a desirable future. I am honored to be a dedicated witness and guide in your healing journey.

I work using IFS in an intuitive, organic, and contemplative way. You may experience different states of being by connecting/moving body, mind, heart, spirit. I guide somatic-based, attachment-oriented, trauma-informed experientials and skills to strengthen how life is embodied. We mindfully and compassionately navigate issues. Cultural humility matters. Creativity and committed actions are key.
