My Background

Having lived in both China and the United States, I bring a cross-cultural perspective and connect deeply with people from diverse backgrounds. Earlier chapters of my career—as a tax consultant, educator (15+ years), and small-business owner—give me practical insight into family dynamics, parenting, stress, and life transitions.

 

I bring creativity, warmth, and curiosity to every session, supporting clients to step into new roles, rewrite their stories, and rediscover passion for life.
