About My Clients
Dear fellow human, you are here, probably because you want to find calm amidst anxiety and stress, to claim inner peace from old wounds, to rekindle love and affection with your partner(s), to seek peace in your struggles with food, to discover pleasure with your body, or to get more clarity and acceptance about who you are. If any of the above rings a bell, I am here to support you wholeheartedly. 谢谢你不停探寻，而你走到这里，是给我一个机会提醒你：你值得被全然地看见，你值得拥抱爱与自由，你值得。DearRootedLotus.com
My Background and Approach
I specialize in providing culturally responsive in-depth therapy/coaching for trauma, sex, gender, relationship, and eating disorders. Licensed in California and China, I am privileged to be one of the very few psychotherapists with extensive clinical experience in both the West and East. I have an MSW from the University of California, Berkeley. I hold a postgraduate diploma in Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) therapy from the UK. Striving to be the excellent therapist I would want to see myself, I intentionally got trained in the brain-based cutting-edge EMDR, sought-after parts work (IFS), classic couple counseling method (EFT), and body-centered somatic attachment therapy. 我是少数拥有横跨中美两国临床工作经验的心理专家，也有幸在欧洲、北美和亚洲都接受过丰富而深入的专业教育和临床训练。我硕士毕业于加州伯克利（MSW临床精神健康方向），曾任北加亚裔社工委员会联合主席，是加州临床社工学会JAF杰出临床工作奖学金、伯克利法学院反对性别暴力工作奖的获得者。我是英国咨询学会、国家心理治疗师委员会认证PT项目首位亚裔研究生（专业方向：多元的性、多元性别与多元亲密关系）。我还特别进修了性咨询、内在家庭系统IFS、情绪聚焦伴侣疗法EFT、眼动脱敏创伤疗法EMDR、身体取向依恋关系、进食障碍治疗等专门疗法。
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My work as a psychotherapist is informed both by my professional training and my own lived experience as an Asian queer immigrant/diaspora. My work has evolved as I’ve done my own healing work. I’ve always been passionate about helping people who tend to get excluded by racism, sexism, heteronormativity, xenophobia, fatphobia, ableism or ageism. As a result, I am drawn toward non-pathologizing strength-based perspectives. My clinical philosophy emphasizes hearing the unheard and empowering the marginalized through an anti-oppressive multicultural feminist lens. 作为亚裔/性少数/移民，我深知走出创伤、拥抱成长的不易，因而努力求索、不断精进，致力为你提供最好的专业支持。我擅长的议题：焦虑与压力（系统压迫、工作压力、社会期待等）、性与性别（性心理、自我认同、性偏好等）、关系（亲密关系、亲子、人际等）、创伤（性创伤、关系创伤、代际创伤等）、食物与身体（进食障碍、情绪性进食、体相障碍、身体/容貌焦虑等）、个人成长（完美主义、“冒充者综合征”、职业选择等）、个人认同与身份探索（性别、种族、移民等身份）。我致力于为少数群体提供心理健康服务， 包括一代、一点五代和二代移民，工签持有者，留学生，跨文化伴侣(interracial couple) 、性少数 (LGBTQ+)，关系多元人群(consenxual non-monogamy)，以及拥有不符合“传统审美”身体的人。期待与你一起走向丰盛的人生。 Check out www.DearRootedLotus.com for more.
