MY STORY

A polarized period

I was born in a remote coastal village in China in the late '80s, during a time of political change and a new ethos of personal prosperity. It was a polarized period. Growing up in trauma, fear, violence, and confusion, I thought I was "broken". What sustained me were 2 things: a longing for positive relationships and a love for art.

I discovered how language shapes thought

In high school, the "war" at home intensified, as did my questions: What is love? What is family? What drives thoughts and behaviors? Why do people make different choices?

Hoping to find answers in books, I majored in Linguistics and Literature in college. I discovered how language shapes thoughts, which now positively informs my therapy practice.

My professional knowledges and personal journey allow me to be sensitive to clients' core issues and provide effective, personalized treatment plans. Many clients said "You are one of the few who knows how to help."

This is my story, from darkness to light. It can become yours too.

Are you ready to start your new chapter?

From darkness to light

To continue my studies and escape toxic family dynamics, I came to the U.S. and majored in Master of Clinical Social Work. I systematically learned about psychology, family structure, relationships, human development and behaviors, pathological diagnosis and treatment. Over the next decade, I worked with diverse individuals facing various psychological issues, understanding both their commonalities and unique challenges. Meanwhile, I worked hard on my own healing to reconnect with peace, confidence, creativity, spirituality, love and happiness.
