You’ve probably spent a lot of time trying to fix things on your own, but maybe you’ve reached a point of exhaustion. You might be feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, & alone. You don’t know what else you can do to make yourself feel better, or how to keep up with the challenges you’re facing. Maybe there are cultural & social challenges that are making your situation worse. Maybe you're tired of running around in circles & have made the decision to see a counsellor so you don’t continue to feel like you’re “going crazy”.

Grief can be isolating and it can be difficult to understand if things are getting better or worse. What you are dealing with can take time and you don't have to do it alone.

Human beings, on the whole, are extraordinarily complex. I believe that we each carry within us depths that we do not necessarily draw on in our day-to-day movements, be it by choice, or by a certain unawareness – when what is needed to access our full capacities has not yet been discovered. When feeling stuck, it can be important to be reminded of our resilience and our capacity to change, to flow in the midst of flux.

I am a bicultural therapist and my clients relate to me because they look for someone who appreciates what it's like to be inside of cultural and generational divides. I have over 5 years of experience working with professionals, parents, and students on issues related to trauma, immigration, family dynamics, and unacknowledged grief. Unacknowledged grief is what that doesn't fit our society's expectations: grief of relocating, of surviving disasters, of change. What makes me different from most therapists, is that I am passionate about helping people navigate the "other" relationships: friendships and workplace dynamics.

Do you feel a lack of emotional and physical intimacy in your relationship with your partner? Are you getting pulled into the same argument over and over again? Do you find yourself thinking or saying “They don’t ever spend time with me,” “They never hug me anymore,” or “I don’t talk to them because I’m scared of their response?” Do these experiences leave you feeling like you don’t matter, your partner doesn’t care, or you’re not good enough? Maybe these feelings have been years in the making or perhaps there was a breach of trust that changed the trajectory of your relationship. If so, you’re in the right place.

No matter what we may be going through in our lives, we should be able to take the time to slow down and take care of our mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Finding a person who can help guide you through those challenges and give you a sense of safety and support is important as we traverse our healing journeys. As a community minded therapist, I bring years of experience with children and youth within the school system, as well as my own lived-experiences as a second generation Filipino-Canadian. This perspective allows me to see the various facets and life circumstances that make you, you!

I'm glad you're here. Grief is hard. It can feel make you feel stuck or frozen, as if life just stopped but the world kept spinning and moving without you and the loved one you lost.
