I understand that the act of creating can often breakthrough the limitations of language, allowing for you to have deeper expression of emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally. Art therapy provides a unique and powerful way to explore your inner world, develop self-awareness, and work towards positive change in a supportive and in a non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help my clients develop the tools and skills they need to manage life's challenges and achieve their goals.

With expertise in addressing trauma, personality disorders, and cases unresponsive to past therapies, I offer culturally sensitive practices, attuned to both Asian and Western cultural perspectives.
Are anxiety, depression, emotional distress, or relationship struggles holding you back? These issues often stem from complex trauma, shaping unhelpful patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and emptiness that lower self-esteem and leave your needs unmet. Together, we’ll uncover these patterns, address the roots of your struggles, and heal your inner wounds to reclaim self-worth. I specialize in schema therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches, tailoring plans to your unique needs. If unresolved trauma or past therapies haven’t worked, let’s take the first step toward healing and growth together.

Asian Counsellors

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
