When lingering or reoccurring issues arise they create within us a dissatisfaction about life and how we feel about ourselves. Issues such as relationship difficulties, addictions, career, life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, body image, negative beliefs and thoughts, emotional overwhelm, aggression, low energy, impulsivity etc. can affect your self esteem and your ability to think clearly and solve problems effectively.

From collaborating with different people through therapy over the years, I have noticed that even everyday people feel the effects of modern life on their mental health. This is because modern life comes with a lot of complexity and demands. Today, people pursue a combination of identity, lifestyle, fulfilment, achievement, supportive relationships, a work-life balance, financial gain, career progression, a bigger world purpose, and more. The pursuit is wonderful, however navigating these demands can strain our mental health over time.

I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is key to successful treatment. This bond is based on shared goals, collaboration, and mutual trust by my clients. I see my clients as the best experts on their needs and desires. My role is to provide a safe space for them to explore, reorganize, and sometimes let go of anything hindering their journey to a meaningful and fulfilling life. I offer psychological interventions and assessments in English (fluent), Vietnamese (fluent) and Mandarin (working proficiency) through: Medicare NSW Worker Compensation NSW Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance NDIS Employee Assistance Program.
