Hello, I am a clinical psychologist who places great value in understanding clients' difficulties deeply and wholistically. As a migrant from Asia, I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, I have firsthand experience of uprooting from what is familiar and reestablishing in a new environment. I also bring into the therapy room an experience of major career change. I feel privileged to be able to help people make personal recovery from life-changing circumstances, in rebuilding hope, redefining self-identity, assuming / re-assuming responsibilities, and leading a meaningful life.

I am a psychologist with 4 years of experience supporting teens and adults with sleep and mental health. My focus is on helping people overcome sleep difficulties, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and sleep-related anxiety. I also address how these issues connect to mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, and PTSD. Using a trauma-informed and inclusive approach, I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT-I, CBT, ACT, relaxation techniques, and motivational interviewing. I am passionate about providing an accepting space for all, particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, behind on things, or like you’re working twice as hard just to keep up? I provide neuro-affirming counselling for adults with ADHD, with a particular interest in supporting women and LGBTIQA+ clients, including those diagnosed later in life. Many people I work with have spent years masking, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves to meet expectations, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you better understand how your brain works, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical ways to manage focus, emotional regulation, and everyday life.

I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up as you are. I work especially with men, adolescents, and young adults who may find it hard to talk openly about emotions, stress, or past experiences. I work at a pace that feels right for you, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and choice. My work is grounded in Gestalt therapy and focuses on what’s happening in the here and now — in your thoughts, feelings, body, and relationships. I support clients to notice patterns that often develop in response to earlier experiences and how these patterns can show up as stress, emotional shutdown, anger, anxiety, or feeling stuck.
