I have always been drawn to people’s stories, not ones with a predictable plot line that culminates in a magical happily-ever-after, but those that speak the truth about the joys and complexities of being human, and where beauty is not in perfection, but in overcoming the struggle.
I decided then that I wanted a career that allowed me to help others to face their pain and fears, and be the Hero in their own stories of love, courage, and resilience.
I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from Princeton University, and my Master’s in Social Work from University of Chicago – School of Social Service Administration. My educational, research, and professional background taught me to understand an individual’s narrative through an interdisciplinary lens.
I have provided clinical services in multiple settings, including: university counseling centers, social service agencies, Employee Assistance Programs, private coaching, and education counseling. I have been involved in designing services and programs to support international academic scholars in higher education settings, expatriate populations, and providing services in Mandarin Chinese.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds to achieve their highest aspirations in career, lifestyle, personal growth, and relationships.
