• New York, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, 010059

I identify as a AAPI, Taiwanese, first-generation immigrant, multicultural and bilingual Psychotherapist. I have a diverse personal, and academic background in which I have lived, traveled and studied in different countries. This has also reflected in my work values and experience as I learn, grow and contribute to different programs and settings, including in a psychiatric inpatient unit, intensive outpatient setting, and a community clinic. I work with adults, couples, and families from all walks of life, and I am all-inclusive, welcome to all and identity-affirming. I often reflect on my cultural values, biases, and position in power structures and the impact they have on relationships with my clients. I strive to develop and implement culturally appropriate interventions. I have also held different roles, including Clinical Supervisor, Presenter (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, and New York University), Advocate, Volunteer, Teacher, Peer Mentor, and Researcher (published on Acute Emotional States and Attachment Styles on Non-Suicidal Self Injury, and Conflict Resolution in Romantic Relationships). With my additional interests in Political Science and Public Policy, I also had the opportunity to work at United Nations Department of Public Information and IMPACT Leadership 21 in which I participated in the empowerment and advocacy for the underserved and underrepresented population. These experiences have helped me learn and understand mental health from different lenses especially with marginalized identities. I hold an Ed.M. in Mental Health Counseling and an M.A. in Psychological Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. I am Narcan certified.
