I am a New Zealand registered Clinical Psychologist fluent in English and Cantonese Chinese and have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults in mental health services. I currently work in a public mental health service for children and family  providing psychological assessment and treatment. I also have experience in running parenting groups and have provided clinical supervision for other psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists.

 

As part of my Ph.D, I researched neuropsychological and biological methods for understanding older people experiencing normal aging, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's Disease. The acquired knowledge now underlies my current practice when diagnosing neurodevelopmental conditions.

​

I am passionate in working with people from different cultures and use a non-judgemental, adaptable approach which is informed by best practice and evidence.
