I have developed theoretical critiques and innovative psychotherapeutic interventions, grounded in my two decades of transcultural research on core aspects of the human condition. My unique approach transcends cultures and enhances the potential of psychotherapy for people in both Western and non-Western cultural settings. I deliver therapy sessions in person (for local clients) and via Skype video camera (for clients interstate or overseas). I am bilingual in English and Chinese.

I am also an award-winning author, educator, sociologist and social sciences research consultant. I hold Bachelor�s and Master�s degrees in sociology from National Taiwan University and a Doctorate in sociology from the University of Michigan. I have also undertaken specialized training in psychotherapy and couples therapy in Melbourne. I have worked as an academic for the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, the East-West Centre in Hawaii, the University of Tasmania, the University of Iowa, and the University of Melbourne. I won teaching excellence awards and international best book awards for my East-West comparative sociological research. I have applied my social research capacities into topical areas of public policy and program evaluation for Australian Federal Government and Victorian State Government.

I give public lectures and professional development masterclasses and workshops on a wide range of topics for universities, professional bodies, industry, government, and community organisations in Australia and overseas.
