I have always been interested in incorporating the East and West influences from my own bi-cultural background. I received a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from the first East/West Psychology program in United States (California Institute of Integral Studies). While counselling or psychotherapy is largely a western practice, I believe in the importance of integrating the wisdom, traditions and philosophical ideas from the East into my counselling practice. You may read more in my Approaches section.
I am a first-generation Taiwanese Canadian who lived and worked in United States for 12 years before returning to Vancouver BC. I was a sensitive child. I went through a difficult adolescent period in Taiwan and experienced immigration and transition challenges to Canada as a young adult, and they have all helped make me the person I am today. Remembering what it was like to go through hard times in my life gives me compassion and helps me provide a safe and trusting space for my clients. I strive to understand and work with you from where you are. In our work together, I will help you build awareness and give you the tools to better understand your feelings, thoughts, body and personal experience. I will support you by being a companion in your journey of growth and self-discovery.
