I am a doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience, including 18 years working in the mental health and psychological field. I gained my Psychiatric Specialties qualification at Macau Health Bureau and am a Fellow of the College of Internal Medicine (Psychiatry) of the Macao Academy of Medicine, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the United States. Since 2010, in addition to being responsible for the clinical work in the psychiatric department of the hospital, I have worked as a trainer and examiner for the interns, assisting in the training of community psychologists, security police, and senior police officers as well as nursing students in college.
Over the years, I have been to different places, including the United States and several Asian countries for training exchanges. I noticed the importance of proper upbringing, education, and training for a person's healthy growth and development. I also realized that we can live our own lives only when we get to know ourselves well. I started to explore myself and received a series of psychological and intensive training as well as working individually with my supervisor Dr. Robert Grant, an experienced trauma expert in the United States, since 2012.
In addition to professional and theoretical knowledge, the acquisition of real knowledge is very important to me. I experienced and immersed myself in what I have acquired about myself and reality in through reflection on my own experience. My self-awareness has increased gradually. All that I obtained in the outside world has been continually accumulated and fermented in and through my inner life. I have become more aware of my self and more self-directed (internally referenced and directed from within as a result of regular introspection and self-analysis).
I started to establish my own career in 2016. In addition to private practice, I continue to work, teach, and train in the Macao region. This has included a series of professional training for social workers and employees of local non-government organizations, group supervision of multi-disciplinary professionals, and lecturing in the Bachelor of Psychology program at a local University for consecutive two years.
