My academic and professional goals developed through my counseling
experiences in the diverse contexts of youth, schools, the military,
international students, career development, academic advising and
counseling in universities, spiritual counseling, and in teaching
undergraduates and graduates in the United States and Singapore.
My research agenda focuses on two main strands that contribute to
the knowledge base on: (a) multicultural counseling issues and (b)
international counseling contexts. The overall goal of my research
program is to improve access to mental health services for ethnic
minority populations and to grow helping services in international
contexts. I am presently a member of the Hmong Mental Health Research
Group, an interdisciplinary team seeking to develop mental health
approaches that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for the
Hmong and other Southeast Asian immigrant groups. My current research
program includes investigating the experiences of Asian psychologists
trained in the United States, the use of interpreters in mental health
counseling, help-seeking behavior and attitudes across cultures and
countries, cultural competence, a multinational study of master
therapists, and creating innovative mental health projects that help
to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in mental health, and
preparing psychologists for cross-cultural contexts.
