Hello!
I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering individual and group therapy in both English and Mandarin. I deeply believe that everyone has the potential for growth and expanded self-awareness. I work with clients who want to deepen their inner work as well as those looking for support with a specific issue such as anxiety, grief or depression. I invite people to reveal their natural strength and to connect to their inner wisdom toward living a fulfilling life. As someone who was born and raised in Taiwan. I am passionate about working with people having cross-culture/immigration backgrounds. I understand the challenges of the Chinese immigrant community such as language and cultural barriers, bi-cultural identities, and issues between generations in immigrant families. As a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT), I integrate embodied, experiential and interactive approaches into talking therapy in order to provide clients with different perspectives when it fits the moment. I am the founder of The Seed Troupe – an experiential program and workshop established in 2013 to provide a theatrical and therapeutic space for people to embark on an inner journey that transforms the challenges of life. |
