I'm a queer Taiwanese American liberation psychologist, abolitionist, recovering academic.
I'm licensed in California, and I received my doctoral degree in clinical community psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
And then I did my pre-doctoral internship out here in community mental health at D.D. Hirsch in Inglewood and my postdoc fellowship at a split combined fellowship at the Institute for the Study of Race and Culture at Boston College, and also in a private practice locally here.
So I was born and raised on the East coast of the US, but when I was in high school, my family moved to Shanghai.
And through that really developed a sense of racial awareness, like what it means to be part of the racial majority, but still othered.
even if I was out just on the street,
I was surprised by that, especially since growing up on the East Coast, I was definitely one of very few Asian-Americans in my community.
And then, let's see, I moved back to the U.S. for undergrad and have gradually been making my way across the country from the East Coast to the Midwest and now finally out here in California.
Other things in terms of my approach to clinical work, I love combining my training, lived experiences, and values into the work I do.
So the population I work with, like QTBIPOC folks, I have some kind of overlapping identities and lived experiences that I combine with the theory and practice that I've been trained in to support people and really support our healing from intergenerational and structural trauma, the grief that can accompany it, and in navigating our identities, relationships, and family dynamics that really often show up between children and immigrant parents.
