About me
Hi there! I’ve studied in Europe, Taiwan, and the U.S., and I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology both in Taiwan and the U.S. My diverse cross-cultural experiences have helped me connect with clients from all kinds of backgrounds and understand the struggles of being an immigrant or studying abroad in a foreign country. Also, as someone who’s gone through the pain of writing a thesis, I totally get how challenging and overwhelming pursuing a degree can be. Lastly, as a human, I believe we’ve all faced moments of loss in life—whether in close relationships, family dynamics, or friendships. I’ve been through these challenges myself, and I’m here to walk alongside my clients as we work through life’s difficulties together. 😊
嗨！我曾在歐洲、台灣和美國求學，並完成了諮商心理學碩士學位。 我豐富的跨文化經歷讓我能與來自不同背景的個案合作，也更能理解移民或留學生在陌生國家的挑戰與孤單。 此外，作為一個曾經與論文奮鬥的人，我非常能同理那些在學位追求過程中感到掙扎和困難的心情。 最後，身為一個平凡人，我相信我們每個人在生命中都經歷過大大小小的失落，無論是親密關係、親子關係還是人際關係。我曾經歷過這些挑戰，也很願意陪伴每位來到我面前的個案，一起梳理生命中的困難與問題。 😊

Approach
I follow an integrative approach—I believe that any theoretical orientation is a good one as long as it helps the client. However, before focusing on theories, I prioritize building a strong relationship with the client in front of me and collaboratively setting clear goals for our sessions. In the first session, I start by understanding both of our needs and ensuring that we’re a good fit to work together. After that, I usually suggest beginning with six sessions, during which we’ll regularly review our progress and decide on an appropriate time to bring our work to a close.
我屬於整合學派，我認為只要對個案有幫助，就是合適的學派。 但在學派之前，我更重視與我面前的個案建立關係，共同擬定晤談目標。 在初次晤談中，我會先了解彼此的需求，確認我們是否適合共同合作，接著我會建議先談六次，定期檢視我們晤談的進展，並在合適的時間結案
