About Me

The people I serve

I’ve supported veterans, survivors of abuse, adults and children with disabilities, and people facing both acute and complex trauma. Alongside EMDR, I draw on mindfulness, cross-cultural psychology and depth psychology (psychology of the soul).

Interest areas

My interest areas include post-traumatic growth, resilience, and mindfulness. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: therapy should be human, tailored, and collaborative — a space where resilience is not only found, but strengthened.

My journey

I’m a bilingual psychologist (English and Mandarin) who works with people navigating trauma and its ripple effects. I use EMDR therapy, a proven and effective approach for PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and early intervention after traumatic experiences (e.g. disasters, conflict, assault). My focus is on building resilience so that painful experiences no longer dictate the present.

Before psychology, I spent more than a decade in diplomacy and international relations — in places like Timor-Leste, Afghanistan, the US, and the UAE. I’ve also borne witness to survivors of institutional child sexual abuse in Australia. These experiences showed me resilience in its many forms, and they continue to shape the way I walk alongside people in their recovery.
