Szu-Hui enjoys helping people find peace and balance in their lives. She believes that harmony within oneself is achieved by having a better understanding of oneself and using that knowledge to attain a fulfilling life. It is when there is a lack of congruence in the way we think, feel, and behave that we find suffering. Szu-Hui approaches clinical work from a cognitive-behavioral therapy perspective and her work are grounded in strength-based, humanistic and interpersonal theories. Szu-Hui integrates many treatment approaches into her work, including mindfulness, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and exposure and response prevention. Szu-Hui has strong clinical interests in anxiety disorders (e.g., obsessive compulsive disorder, perfectionism, hoarding, panic disorders), depression, relationship issues, academic and career development, body image, and adjustment issues. Over the years Szu-Hui has also focused her work on women’s issues, women empowerment, and identity development.

During her leisure time, Szu-Hui enjoys relaxing at local coffee shops and visiting with family and friends. Whether is it with a pair of running, dancing, or snow shoes, Szu-Hui appreciates the chance to be active and have balance in her busy life.
