When you change your life, it isn’t to become the new you. It’s to become the real you—the one-of-a-kind diamond that will never exist again and can never be replaced.
Edith Eger
I believe that each of us was born whole and inherently good, as is. When we struggle, there is nothing broken or insufficient about us. Complex external factors such as family origins, upbringing, culture, environment, circumstances, society, and community mould us into who we are now. As we navigate our lives, pieces of our authentic selves might become buried. We may develop coping/defense mechanisms to protect ourselves. We may even lose touch with our true feelings and emotions, get stuck, feel trapped, or hit a wall. When this happens, we might feel disconnected, isolated, or alone. The good news is that we can move through these challenges with the right support.
As a therapist, I am honored to be here to listen to you and see you for who you are, without judgement. I believe that humans have universal needs to be heard, understood, and accepted. Life can be tough and uncertain, but each of us possess the inner strength and wisdom to face and solve whatever “problems” we might face. As your therapist, I will stand alongside you as you discover the one-of-a-kind YOU.
ABOUT Yin Yin
I was born and raised in Malaysia, and came to the US as an international student. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from the University of Kentucky. I have a M.A. in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Prior to attending graduate school, I spent 14 years in the corporate world working in the technical recruiting, and pharmaceutical industries. I love traveling, reading, working out, and spending time with my two children, and my husband. I speak English and Mandarin, and understand and speak some Cantonese and Bahasa Malaysia as well.
