As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their own distinctive identities. My counselling approach is comprehensive, utilizing post-modern narrative theory to view clients as whole individuals, rather than pathologizing or labeling them. I work with clients aged 18 and up, including seniors, and specialize in parent-adult children relationship counselling, career-related issues, and couple counselling.

Your sex or relationship issues leave your life feeling like it is in turmoil even outside of the bedroom. You’ve tried to manage things on your own, but it’s a struggle, and you’re tired of struggling. Friends and family don’t understand, but it’s not like this is something you can talk to them about anyway. And even if there is that one friend that you can talk to, they don’t really know what to say.

Are you struggling with high stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or trauma and PTSD?

Are you struggling with emotional issues or feeling purposeless? Wanting to improve your relationship with your partner/family but not knowing how? Needing some support as you live your life abroad? When you look at the core of many life challenges, the need and absence of love, belonging, recognition--are what lies beneath. This holds true even for my clients from different cultures. So let's see how we can work together to bring them into your life. This is a safe place where you can show up as your real self without judgement.

Welcome! My specialty is holistic individual and relationship counselling. I believe that healing is possible and is just a message or phone call away. Within our first session, I aim to offer a conversation that may bring about a sense of immediate relief with whatever is troubling you right now. As you dive into the depths, I will witness and encourage your journey. Monogamous and non-monogamous (open, polyamorous) relationships are welcome, as are parents, stepfamilies, and individuals seeking to heal, grow, and foster well-being. Now is the time to start exploring and making it better.

I work with primarily neurodivergent and/or queer people (of all ages, genders, identities) who want to pause, explore and reconnect. Societal expectations of how we should act and navigate the world can be exhausting. It can be hard to feel safe enough to reconnect with our inner selves, fearlessly use art materials, explore difficult topics, and live authentically. No art making experience needed. Everyone can make art.

Hope gives people a reason to continue fighting and believing that their current circumstances will improve, despite the unpredictable nature of human existence. However, to feel hopeful can be tricky when you’ve experienced depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, and emotional pain. How do you go through those hard times? I have been privileged to support thousands of people of all backgrounds and ages to find their hope back despite life challenges.

You have already taken a courageous step in seeking out support through counselling. You may be sitting with grief, anxiety, hurt or uncertainty. Our identities and emotions can swirl together and become overwhelming, but together we can find ways to let the storm settle and uncover insights, possibilities and ways forward. You may want to improve your close relationships, get some perspective on emotions or issues that are troubling you, or make changes in your life for more connection, joy and fulfillment. You might not yet have a clear vision of the future, but your desire for change is a great place to start.

Clients tell me I’m calm, curious, and compassionate—a patient, friendly collaborator who helps them find insight, connection, and direction. I'm a good fit with people who sometimes feel a bit “different” or want something a bit different in life. Like most, I am somewhat wounded myself (and relatively comfortable with it), and that helps me connect with people experiencing loneliness, anxiety, depression, feelings of day-to-day boredom and restlessness, and (perhaps especially) existential angst.

This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.
