I am a provisional psychologist and registered counsellor, currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology. I bring over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of clinical and community settings.

I work using an integrated counselling approach that is tailored to each individual. I value being genuine, authentic, and present in my work, and aim to create a safe and trusting therapeutic space where clients feel understood and supported.

I was born in Taiwan and moved to Australia during my teens. Adapting to a new culture, learning a second language, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds shaped my interest in working with culturally diverse individuals and families, and continues to inform my therapeutic practice.

I began my career as a women’s counsellor within a not for profit domestic violence support service, before moving into roles as a children’s counsellor. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience supporting children and young people experiencing life challenges, emotional distress, and crisis situations. More recently, I have worked in family services, supporting individuals and families navigating separation, relationship difficulties, and gambling-related concerns.

As a mother of two energetic boys, I understand the complexities and pressures of parenting and family life, as well as the importance of maintaining healthy relationships alongside these demands. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my much-loved four-legged companions.

My therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I work in a largely non-directive way and believe that each person has the capacity for insight and growth. I engage in regular clinical supervision as part of my professional practice and training.

I provide therapy in English and Mandarin, and offer sessions in person and via telehealth.
