Counseling Orientation & Philosophy
My approach to counseling is an eclectic blend of person-centered, psychodynamic, family systems theory, positive psychology and AEDP approach. I have lived and worked in 6 different cities in the United States for a total of 10 years in my younger days. As a third-culture kid myself, therapeutic attunement often happens when working with youth, adult and couples on the collectivism-individualism spectrum.
The populations I often work with are expats in Taiwan, Asian Americans starting a new life in Taiwan or abroad, cross-cultural couples, international students, Third Culture Kids, LGBT spectrum, and so on. Over the years, I have adapted a culturally sensitive model in working with diverse backgrounds: graduates of elite universities struggling with mental health issues, adult children of under-privileged families, Silicon Valley's high-tech workers, first and second-generation immigrants, youth in transition, retired professionals and aboriginal youth in eastern Taiwan.
A person's worldview can be influenced by a variety of factors, including culture, education, early childhood experiences, family upbringing and major life events. Clients are encouraged to navigate their own healing maps. All humans have a remarkable capacity for self-healing; in every breakdown, there is an opportunity for a breakthrough. I am inspired again and again by stories of transcending the darkness and embracing the new.
用生命影響生命是我對心理諮商的信念。每一個人都是一個cultural being, 而治療師先了解自己是誰是重要的。旅美十年間, 成長於美國文化最多元地區的舊金山灣區, 長期接觸亞裔、東南亞、南美洲和歐洲移民, 也經常輔導國際學生與高科技業人士等等，個人諮商風格因此融合了東西方教育的優點, 跨越社經地位與世代, 兼具本土觀與世界觀。
諮商風格以個人中心為根基，融入多元文化觀點、心理動力、家庭系統、AEDP 及正向心理學的原素。每個人的療癒曲線不盡相同，會依據當事人的特質與諮商需求，做個別化的調整。
