I was born and raised in Taiwan, and in my early years I studied abroad in Los Angeles, California. The challenges of adapting to a new culture and navigating questions of life and identity shaped me deeply and fostered a heart for walking alongside others in their own struggles. Life’s ups and downs taught me resilience, and I carry that into my work as a therapist.

While in Los Angeles, I worked at a county-contracted community agency serving individuals and families facing serious mental health challenges, including first episodes of psychosis, suicidal struggles, and complex emotional difficulties. Supporting people through such intense experiences humbled me and taught me the importance of meeting each  person with compassion and respect.

After moving to Michigan, I gained experienced in a hospital outpatient setting before transitioning into private practice. These opportunities allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and deepen my appreciation for the resilience inherent in every human life.

I work with clients across a wide spectrum – from high-functioning individuals who feel stuck, anxious, or burdened by self-doubt, to those seeking healing from past trauma and significant life challenges. I am an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist™, trained to help clients process trauma, relieve distress, and  reconnect with a sense of meaning and personal strength. My approach is compassionate,  collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s story. It would be an honor to accompany you on your journey of healing and growth. Therapy with me isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you come home to yourself – with more clarity, more peace, and more compassion.
