Description
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who specialize in art therapy and am fluent in both Mandarin and English. Through an trauma-informed, client-centered approach, I support individuals navigating relationships, trauma, acculturation, self worth, anxiety, depression, life transitions, deeper understanding of themselves, 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 will walk alongside you and help find best suits you while considering your strength, needs, and goals.

Heart to Art Therapy
Summary
Through an trauma-informed, intersectional, and client-centered approach, I support individuals navigating relationships, trauma, acculturation, self worth, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other therapeutic 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.
