Having practiced Clinical Psychology overseas for 20 years, I am very familiar with all kinds of conditions. If you are having relationship troubles with your spouse or others, I can help. If you are stressed out trying to parent your children, whatever age they may be, or if they have ADHD, autism or learning challenges, I’d love to help. If you are depressed, anxious, and want to work out your inner issues so that you can be happy, I am here to give you a hand. If you are stressed or in a lot of pain, with various kinds of addictions, and not know what to do, I am here to help you find your way out.
As an overseas psychologist who has worked in the Correction and Social Welfare Departments in Hong Kong, I can understand teens and children very well. Having studied Educational and Clinical Psychology, I understand parenting discipline and learning issues, and I have a passion for helping those with autism and ADHD. Why not call for a free initial consultation for your situation?
I am very passionate, responsible and professional in my work. I have a sincere attitude, like to help people and want them to live the best life they can, within the shortest time frame possible. If you haven’t had a good experience in the past with psychological service, I encourage you to give it another try, you may see it differently.
I graduated with a Master of Science degree from California State University, Bakersfield, specializing in Clinical Psychology learning psychological and intellectual assessment and treatment for adults, children and families. I have also gone through all coursework for Educational or School Psychology at the University of British Columbia. I completed Instructor's Diploma Program at Vancouver Community College to equip myself to be an instructor for adults.
I have worked for over 20 years as a Clinical Psychologist, with 10 years in two government departments in Hong Kong- the Corrections and the Social Welfare Departments. After that, I worked at various non-profit institutions, private organizations, and at my own clinic where I did a lot of assessment and treatment for ADHD and autistic clients beginning at age 2; I also focused on how to parent children with special needs, emotionally and intellectually.
I have taught at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Trinity Western University, Alexander College, and Vancouver Community College. I have also taught teachers of Special Educational Needs in Hong Kong.
With my wide spectrum of experiences, I have helped many people with different kinds of issues like depression, anxiety, stress, growth, couple relationships, relationships in general, and more. I am very passionate about my work and I am good with emotional support and encouragement.
