I am a licensed clinical psychologist serving rural counties in eastern California and northwest Wyoming. I have 20 years of clinical experience as a psychologist and over 15 years experience in organizational effectiveness consulting. I work with clients to recognize and reduce the habitual use of survival strategies that no longer serve their needs, develop self-understanding and acceptance in order to make better life choices, and cultivate a mindful approach to life. The core of humanistic-oriented therapy is to help clients find the courage to be authentic in their lives and to gain freedom through consciousness.

As a main bread winner,  first generation Chinese American, and consultant with 25 years of business and organizational  effectiveness experience, I lived a disconnected life full of stress, anxiety, and regret even as a believer in God.   Something was amiss in my life.  

Each day, I would unknowingly make these choices:

• Conform to who I thought I should be
• Play the victim to my circumstances
• Struggle to love or even accept myself
• Constantly compare myself to others
• Feel like I wasn't good enough

 In 2014, with the grace of God, I started an intentional recovery journey.   Along the way, I acquired new vocabulary, perspectives, habits, and personalized strategies. This journey helped me evolve towards self-love and trust in the perfectly imperfect version of myself that God created for each moment of my life.
