Have you ever felt your mind tangled and chaotic? When emotions overwhelm, clear thinking becomes tough. I hope to create a warm and safe space with you collaboratively, where we can together be aware of and differentiate various emotions, untangle complexities in thoughts, and fulfill genuine needs. Emotions are like internal signals, attempting to engage in a healing dialogue with us. I specialized in intergenerational trauma, mother-daughter relationship, breakup, family-of-origin trauma, eating disorders, identity crisis, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, peer relationships, self-esteem, grief, and loss.

It’s been said that showing up for ourselves is the hardest, most important work we’ll ever do. Whether you find yourself grieving a significant loss, processing a difficult life change, or simply wanting to explore a different way of relating to yourself and the people around you, I know that it takes courage to be here. I see therapy as a sort of pilgrimage to our authentic, whole selves, sometimes in the face of darkness and grief. Journeying through what feels difficult in our lives is part of bringing our fullest and best into the world, and I would be honoured to accompany you in this journey.

People come to therapy for many reasons. A person may have experienced a life changing event. Perhaps a loved one has recently passed away. Perhaps there is a struggle with alcohol and drug problems or other mental health concerns.

Therapy can help you make more conscious choices, reconnect with your feelings and needs and gain more insight into relationships. It can also help you deal with crisis, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and unhappiness.

I work with adults in individual, emotion-focused, psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapy, dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, loss, relationships, life-change and others.
Some problems are exceedingly difficult to solve on our own. We become accustomed to our way of understanding ourselves and our issues, and it is difficult to take a novel perspective. One of the main goals of psychotherapy is to provide a different lens to look through, so that we can begin to think differently about ourselves and our problems. A different perspective can provide the space to begin a process of change.

I work with people from all nations and cultures, and I work more with adults in my practice and with some Chinese when I also speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. Life is never smooth. From time to time, we need to seek help from others to face the challenges. As a professional psychotherapist, I am keen to journey with you through your life difficulties such as traumatic events, life changes, loss, and grief. I will help you to identify your own feelings, emotions, values, faith, and strength to face your life problems causing stress, anxiety or depression etc. Hopefully we work together to find meaning and transcend life changes.

I currently work with people overcoming damaging inner dialogue, depression, anxiety, weight loss, general life management, addictions, ADHD, and many other common and uncommon issues that prevent us from having the life we believe we should have.
Do you do things you would rather not do or avoid things you should do? Are you frustrated because you put others ahead of you and avoid conflict at all costs, or are you angry and having trouble keeping it in check? Are you feeling alone or misunderstood? If any of the above apply to you, I can help. My process is to listen. And by coming to understand you, help you face the challenges that are preventing you from living life on your terms. Sometimes, it's even about helping you decide what those terms are.

We all have times when we feel overwhelmed by unexpected changes in our family life, relationships, careers or health - times when strong emotions are difficult to manage alone. Perhaps you are experiencing divorce, looking for a career change, deeply saddening by the state of our planet, or wondering what comes next. Maybe you long for a different life, but don't know what to move towards. You might be a high-achieving professional whose drive for success has left you feeling isolated and disconnected. You may be an exhausted or frustrated parent/partner, or grieving the loss of someone you love. You may be male/female/non-binary.

Being a human can be beautiful, but also hard- often sticky and overwhelming, full of stress, anxieties, transitions, uncertainties, loss and grief. Recognizing that it can be hard to ask for help if you're struggling, or if you just want to find more meaning and fulfillment- you do not have to do it alone. Whatever you are currently experiencing, we will work collaboratively to build up your resources and resilience, navigate relationships and establish positive coping skills while we unpack feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you.

Since 2006, I have been supporting people in traversing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, isolation, life transition, discrimination, racism, and systemic oppression.
Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.
