Accepting new clients! I speak both English and Mandarin fluently. As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Psychotherapist, I have extensive experience engaging in mental health field, and specialize working with older adolescents, post-secondary students and young adults in the Chinese, Mandarin-Speaking community with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). It is a privilege and honor to connect with you and I look forward to supporting your mental health journey.
Therapy can be seen as a way for people to understand themselves and discover more ways to engage in fulfilling lives meaningfully. I work with individuals on academic or work related stress, regulating emotions and unhelpful thoughts, dealing with relationship issues, formulating self-identity & processing experience of discrimination or social oppression.
I value allyship in a collaborative environment as I believe the importance of meeting where people are at, so we will develop plans together and re-visiting progress as needed. I adopt a strength-based, trauma-informed approach that is culturally sensitive and attuned to the needs and intersectionality issues of different individuals.
