My path toward becoming a clinical psychologist began with a deep personal interest in psychology. After graduating from secondary school, driven by a desire to pursue my studies abroad, I went to Taiwan, where I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology.
Throughout my studies journey, in addition to theoretical research and learning, I broadened my professional experiences across diverse fields, including the funeral services industry, hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages, and psychiatric institutions in Taiwan. These experiences enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of the needs of diverse groups within society and provided me with valuable opportunities to accompany and support individuals and families from different cultural backgrounds, life stages, and with a wide range of challenges or clinical conditions.
Although clinical psychologists are often perceived primarily as helping professionals who support others, my own learning journey has taught me that helping others begins with helping oneself. For me, “helping oneself” means first developing a deeper understanding of who we are—recognizing our strengths and limitations, our darker and brighter sides—and cultivating a more flexible, compassionate perspective toward both ourselves and others. Grounded in this belief, I hope to support clients in developing their own self-help abilities, empowering them to care for and support themselves through increased self-awareness.
From my perspective, one of the main reasons of human suffering lies in the discrepancy between ideals and reality. This gap may arise from unmet expectations, unfulfilled desires, or a loss of purpose in life. Such experiences are often accompanied by complex and intertwined emotions, including disappointment, loss, helplessness, sadness, and fear. Many clients encounter these emotions repeatedly, yet struggle to articulate them clearly. These feelings are both evident and elusive—evident in the profound impact they have on one’s life, yet elusive because they are often difficult to identify, or, even when recognized, are often suppressed or avoided. When these inner emotional experiences accumulate over time and exceed an individual’s capacity to cope, psychological distress or breakdown may occur.
At such moments, what a psychologist offers may not be immediate solutions or clear answers, but rather a space of being seen, accompanied, and empowered. Through this process, clients can experience support and respect, rediscover their inner strengths, rebuild confidence and courage, and gradually move toward greater inner peace and emotional stability. I believe that meaningful change often emerges through the experience of being understood and accompanied.
Just as age increases gradually over time, the processes of self-exploration and self-acceptance are often continuous and long-term. This is the work to which I remain committed—walking alongside clients, moving forward, healing, and growing together.
