You’re not crazy for wanting to make sense of it. You’ve watched the videos, “how do I know if I’m in a relationship with a narcissist?” and you’re feeling isolated, embarrassed, confused. They’re talking about your actual life, but you don’t think you’re strong enough to leave. You’ve rationalized, communicated, begged. Maybe they’ll change, but they’re not the problem. You’re the one that needs to change. They say this, so it must be true, right? I need you to know that you’re not stupid or weak for staying. I was once in an abusive relationship with a narcissist, entangled in the chaos, and I doubted my strength to leave.

In our work together, we will tap into your strengths and together we will look for options that fit best for you and your goals.

Welcome. Working with a therapist provides the opportunity to explore the things that truly matter to you. Through uncovering the stumbling blocks and triggers that prevent you from being the best version of yourself, we will collaborate together to create self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance - while determining new avenues to accomplish tangible goals that align with your values. Giving consideration to the 'whole' you is an integral part of the therapeutic process – including those aspects that are painful and deeply imbedded, as well as your strengths, resources and aspirations.

Relationships are hard. Both with ourselves & with the people we love the most. I can help you with these issues to develop a healthy relationship with yourself (working through trauma, addiction, anxiety, etc), and others (developing boundaries, self-respect, and assertiveness). I dont just offer a listening ear, but provide consistent, authentic, and transparent feedback so that you know who you are in the world and develop a consciousness to thrive past your limitations.

People connect with me to help understand and address the negative impact of how they were raised, specifically within Asian cultures. You are someone who had a difficult childhood upbringing leaving you feeling unloved, unheard and unseen. Who tends to be a people pleaser and can't say "no" to others. You are overly critical and doubt yourself. You experience low self-worth and self-esteem. Feeling unsatisfied in yourself and in your relationships. Someone who fears failure, judgement, rejection and abandonment. Someone who constantly feels anxious because you're unsure of yourself and needs, and lacks independence.

As a woman from a cultural minority, you may feel overwhelmed by the stresses your culture can bring. Growing up in a dysfunctional home. Being told to keep silent. You may have grown up with a critical parent. Or experienced trauma that your culture may overlook. You may have depression that can't be talked about with your loved ones. You may experience stress with eating, your health, body or even career. You may not even be able to pinpoint where your distress is coming from! I'd love to help you explore, label and resolve what you're doing through.

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

What would life feel like if you felt worthy, joyful, healthy, and your emotional needs were met? Therapy is a gift to yourself to feel good again and manage anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness and trauma that keeps you feeling stuck and less than. Sometimes, we can make wrong conclusions about our worth based on the level of emotional attunement and care we received growing up or the trauma they experienced. In the empowering relationship we form, I create a safe place to work alongside you to help you work through your pain & improve the relationship with yourself by discovering meaning, mindfulness and hope.
