I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and a member of the AASW. I work primarily with adults, supporting people through life’s challenges with warmth, respect, and understanding. My approach is grounded in understanding your story, your strengths, and what matters most to you. I believe that the connection between client and counsellor forms the foundation of meaningful healing and growth. 作为一名注册心理健康社工,我可以用中文(普通话)或英文为您提供心理咨询服务。无论您正在面对生活压力、情绪困扰、人际关系或文化适应的挑战,我都会以温暖、尊重和理解的态度陪伴您,一起寻找前进的方向。
I have worked in acute health and mental health services, alcohol and other drug treatment, and dual diagnosis in hospital and community settings. I have supported adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and relationship or identity challenges.
My sessions are client-led, meaning you set the pace and focus, and I will listen carefully to what’s most important to you. Together, we’ll develop goals and a treatment plan that feels right for you. My style is warm, calm, and non-judgemental, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can reflect, heal, and grow.

I understand the unique experiences and pressures that can come with migration, cultural adjustment, family expectations, and maintaining balance between cultures. Many of my clients appreciate being able to speak in their preferred language and to work with someone who understands these nuances and values. I believe in your resilience and your expertise in your own life.
