By looking at a caterpillar, nothing in it tells us that it's going to be a butterfly. Sometimes it's also hard to imagine that our life transforming is possible, though it actually can happen. Just like the transformation of a caterpillar can occur, with patience and perseverance, in a safe and warm cocoon, our life transformation can also begin in a safe, supportive and psychotherapeutic relationship. 

Life is tough! Suffering and pain are inevitable; yet misery is optional! With your willingness as well as my passion and professional training, we can work together to make each setback in your life to become a setup for growth and transformation. 

As an overseas-born Asian American, I'm familiar with both cultures and fluent in English and Chinese. I was an engineer and manager at AT&T Bell Labs and Apple Inc. for 20+ years. My wife and I have raised three adult children. I fully understand the challenges that people are facing in this fast paced, stressful and polarized modern society.

I have been actively involved in church and community caring ministries, serving as a lay counselor and leader in children, youth and family ministries as well as in a Boy Scout troop. In addition, my wife and I founded and operate a preschool, where I serve as the school counselor helping students and parents to build strong and loving family relationships.

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary. I'm also certified with a few reputed therapeutic modalities whose clinical effectiveness is validated via evidence-based research. 

Credentiality is important, yet love is essential. I prayerfully hope that I can make a difference in people's lives by genuinely caring and supporting them while they go through peaks and valleys in their life journey.
