Starting a career as a TV news reporter faced familial disapproval due to traditional Asian values prioritizing prestigious professions. Despite this, an Asian American Journalists Association provided vital support. After a divorce, a reevaluation of life and personal growth motivated a career shift to therapy. The experience cultivated a desire to aid those facing trauma, cultural challenges, and addictions. Writing remained a significant passion, now serving as a platform for outreach and advocacy within therapy, fostering conversations about struggles and encouraging others to seek help.
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) provided essential support and mentorship throughout my journalism career, fostering my love for writing and storytelling, crucial for my later work as a therapist.
My divorce forced me to reevaluate my life, prompting personal growth that led me to transition from journalism to therapy, where I aimed to help others facing similar struggles.
Despite departing from journalism, my passion for writing has only intensified, as I now use it as a means of outreach and advocacy in the therapeutic field.
I want people to understand that it's normal to struggle with personal issues, and sharing my vulnerability has empowered others to seek therapy or confide in loved ones.
