Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of 'shoulds' and comparison? Struggling with low self-esteem and body image concerns, constantly measuring your worth against unrealistic standards? In our fast-paced world, it's all too easy to lose sight of our own needs, always putting ourselves last. But you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. You deserve a safe space to explore your struggles without judgment, to untangle the knots of your mind and heart, and to emerge stronger and more resilient. I strive to foster a genuine connection with each person I work with, creating a supportive environment for exploration.

I believe we all yearn for a deeper connection to ourself and to those around us, but we may find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns, sacrificing our needs, and communicating in ways that do not support us or our relationships. I often work with individuals or couples who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, perceptions of low self-worth and powerlessness, feelings of abandonment, shame, and other forms of wounding related to difficult upbringings, life experiences, and trauma.

My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.

If we all could have the option to be supported and heard with our struggles, to be connected and cared for, perhaps our ability to move through them and towards our goals would be different. What is it you wish to shift, where would your life be right now? How can I help you get there? If you are a victim of crime you may be eligible for counselling through CVAP. I am an approved CVAP counsellor.

As a 1.5-generation Chinese Canadian, who grew up in an Asian immigrant family household, it has shaped and informed my life and practice in many ways.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is essential. We'll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”

Through both my work as a therapist and my own life, I've often found myself in awe the innate human capacity to heal. And the more I do this work, the more in awe I am at how so much of healing begins with no longer being alone in hard things. In my therapeutic work I've witnessed the incredible resilience and transformation that can emerge when a safe space is held for one's story and experience. I continue to stand in awe of that resilience.
