About Me
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 year of experience serving couples, families and individual adults. I believe that each life problem provides an opportunity for growth, and you have the potential to rise above adversity and live a more fulfilling life.
After working as a Silicon Valley software engineer for 20 years, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others. Deeply compassionate and highly analytical, I will work with you to sort through difficult issues in your life. As an immigrant from Taiwan, I speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and English, and provide culturally sensitive services to clients from diverse backgrounds.
I am the first Mandarin-speaking Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist in California recognized by ICEEFT (The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy). Using this cutting edge, empirically validated approach, I have successfully helped many couples rebuild intimate relationships. I provided on-campus counseling at Leland High School and Castillero Middle School. With a deep understanding of youths’ emotional needs, I have effectively helped many families resolve their cultural or generational conflicts. I also served as an Adjunct Lecturer in Counseling Psychology graduate program at Santa Clara University.
I am a wife, a mother of two adult children, and served many years in the youth and children ministry.
Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I invite you to contact me for a free initial consultation via Zoom or phone.
