Communication and trust are common marital issues. Do you want to stay in your relationship? Do you wonder how you would work on it, if you want to, or if you should? We all struggle at times with something challenging. I am committed to helping you resolve questions like: am I good enough? How has my childhood/ family history affected my choices and behaviour today? How can I move forward after traumatic experiences? Why do I feel anxious/depressed? How can I cope with all of my responsibilities? I feel stuck/angry/tired/overwhelmed- what should I do? What changes do I need to make in my life?

I work with a wide variety of issues including relationship challenges, self-confidence, identity, family-of -origin struggles, work or career stress, issues with disordered eating, parenting, adjustment to adult ADHD, infertility, adoption, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, aging, and life transitions.
My approach is eclectic, stemming from a psychodynamic base which considers both conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves, and expanding to incorporate interpersonal and structured approaches depending on the particular situation. At the heart of the process is the respectful connection between client and therapist as we collaborate together. We work as curious co-investigators gradually understanding the complex layers of the issues at hand as well as elements beyond initial awareness. The aim is to feel more free of one’s troubles, operate from a base of choice, able to take any necessary actions, and enjoy life more fully.

I work mainly with men and women who feel very alone, whether in their current relationship or not.
I specialize in helping individuals zoom out to see the true source of their stuckness and inability to attain goals. This 'not so obvious' barrier can manifest in many areas of your life; relationships, career goals, or attaining a healthy relationship with food. Life is certainly not all about being happy all of the time, but you should be waking up feeling an incredible sense of gratitude and contentment for the type of life you live now, but also feeling excited about what is yet to come. In simple terms, I coach individuals to go from good to great and have a special love for working with business owners and entrepreneurs.

Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

I work with adolescents (ages 12 and up), adults, couples and families.
I firmly believe that everyone's life story has significant value. I have found in my professional and personal life that having meaningful conversations with others helps us understand, inspire, and grow as individuals, and in relationships with others. With this in mind, I encourages openness and acceptance, seeing people’s vulnerability and willingness to look at both their strengths and weaknesses as a brave way to understand one’s self and spark change.

2) Sexuality/Intimacy issues - desire discrepancy, aging, infertility, betrayal trauma, disconnection with self/ partner.
One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

I am focused on helping people with Autism and ADHD, as I have personal experiences with these. I am also able to help individuals, couples and families who are wanting to learn to trust themselves more. I take special interest in managing conflict as I feel that is likely where the most growth will occur. That being said, I recognize that it can be a very uncomfortable experience. Relationships are a high risk, high reward situation. I want to help facilitate difficult conversations as much as possible.

I have experience working with school-age & college students, adults, couples and families.
Wai-Han (慧娴) is my name. Wai: wisdom; Han: elegance. Born and raised in a shame-based culture, from a young age things were spoken over me that were the opposite of this, that I did not measure up to my name. I experienced the power of words- that they can speak life or death- for me evoking self-rejection. Through my journey toward healing, spoken words brought liberating life to me. Thus, I am passionate about speaking life into people’s lives, even while they struggle with depression, anxiety, or challenging relationships. I love seeing individuals find more internal freedom, and feel empowered & in control of their experiences.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
