Welcome!
Admitting one's struggle can be difficult. Reaching out for support is even harder. Finding an adequate support for your need is the first step of your healing journey towards self awareness, growth and realization. I am passionate about facilitating a safe and supportive space for personal exploration.
My name is Bianca. I am an artist, advocate, Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (USA), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (USA) and Licensed Professional Counselor (USA). I graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts at School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a focus in mixed media and photography. I then completed the Master of Art in Art Therapy program.
Within the 10+ years of practicing in the mental health field, I have connected with people from all walks of life. Some populations I have been fortunate to work with include outpatient, inpatient, intellectually and developmentally disabled, LGBTQ, elderly care, natural disasters recovery, immigrants and the bereaved. Together we coped with life changes, traumatic events, and physical/mental health management, grief and loss.

I spend hundreds of hours every year researching, learning and lecturing about topics in healing locally and internationally. I am was the former president of Hong Kong Association of Art Therapist, Honorary Lecturer at University of Hong Kong, Lecturer at School of the art institute of Chicago, and Adjunct Faculty at Antioch University Seattle.
