“I’d rather be whole than good.” — Carl Jung

I am originally from Taiwan and currently an Analyst-in-Training at ISAPZURICH. My academic background began in biotechnology, with scientific training in Taiwan and the United States, before I later turned toward expressive arts therapy and Jungian psychology. Through interdisciplinary experiences, I continue to integrate scientific and psychological perspectives, approaching the depth and complexity of the human psyche with openness and curiosity.

My early academic path was shaped by a desire to understand how living beings function. While science offered an intellectually engaging framework, it did not provide the deeper sense of fulfillment I was seeking. Growing up as a sensitive and expressive child, I gradually learned to adapt to cultural expectations and developed a more rational, efficiency-oriented way of functioning. While this brought competence and achievement, it also led to a growing sense of inner disconnection and loss of meaning. This tension eventually became a turning point, leading me to approach these questions through a psychological lens. I retrained as an art therapist and psychotherapist, and through this process rediscovered a sense of passion, vitality, and the transformative power of creativity. This also shapes my understanding of psychological development—not as one-sided, but as an innate tendency toward “wholeness”.

Since 2015, I have worked in clinical settings, schools, cancer foundations, and rural communities, gaining diverse practical experience. My work is grounded in Jungian analysis, with an emphasis on building a trusting and containing relationship. I integrate dream work and expressive arts, engaging symbolic and creative processes to support individuals in approaching their inner experience at their own pace, and in developing awareness and inner resources.

My areas of interest include grief and loss, dream exploration, expressive arts, relational dynamics, and life transitions. I believe that within a relationship where one feels seen, understood, and held, individuals can begin to approach their inner experience more fully. In doing so, conflict and difficulty may become opportunities for transformation, allowing one to gradually unfold their potential and live a more whole and authentic life.
