Intern

I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student from North Carolina Central University. I got my bachelor’s degrees in psychology and economics from UC Berkeley. After my undergraduate studies, I worked as a direct support professional and a registered behavior technician, and that is what ignited my passion for the helping profession. I thrive off of creating a warm environment that anyone can step into and feel comfortable. I consider being person-centered of the utmost importance.

I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Addiction Specialist Studies at North Carolina Central University. My interests include integrated behavioral health, population health management, and supporting older adults, veterans, and underserved communities experiencing mental health and substance-use concerns. My experience with the California Air National Guard has shaped my appreciation for the importance of connection, trust, and understanding the communities we serve.

I am a clinical mental health counseling graduate student at NC Central University. I have a background in public administration and most recently worked as a case manager in a behavioral health urgent care. I enjoy supporting people in navigating complex problems, uncertainty, and the process of creating meaning.

I am a second-generation Taiwanese-American entering my last year of study at the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at North Carolina Central University. I obtained my Bachelor's in Psychobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles and have previously worked alongside youth on the spectrum, as well as youth and adults with eating disorders. I am passionate about exploring what wellness means for each individual and creating safe spaces that honor all aspects of my clients’ stories.
