Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in patterns shaped by past trauma? Perhaps life transitions, such as relationship changes, parenting stress, career shifts, or relocation, have left you feeling uncertain and emotionally exhausted. When distress lingers, it can affect your sleep, relationships, confidence, and sense of direction. Many people silently carry these struggles while trying to appear strong on the outside. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and begin moving toward healing.

I especially love working with those whose lives have been relegated to the margins of their families, communities, culture, and society: folks who want to be heard, to feel whole, to be seen, and to be valued in a culture that tries to erase or homogenize their existence. Working with me, people feel more safe in and connected to the world around them; develop greater compassion and understanding of themselves; identify their core values and practice living in closer alignment with them; and, ultimately, form a strong sense of self leadership over their lives, emotions, and decisions.

As a therapist, one of my passions is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, relationship issues, and suicidal ideation. Many people feel that they are alone in their struggles. I believe my role as your therapist is to remind you that you are not alone, normalize how you feel, and provide helpful tools along the way. My approach is solution focused, goal-oriented, strength-based, and trauma-informed. However, my main focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship that will help you feel safe, heard, and understood.

Wishing you could feel more connected, understood, and secure in your relationship? Many couples find themselves caught in patterns of disconnection. Where conversations turn into arguments, intimacy feels distant, or it seems like you’re living parallel lives instead of a shared one. You may be longing to feel closer, to rebuild trust, or to communicate in ways that bring understanding rather than tension.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, struggling to balance differing needs and desires, or wanting to reignite your emotional and sexual connection, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Hi, I'm Hao, a bilingual (English/Chinese) therapist and member of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. If you've turned to Google or ChatGPT for clarity while struggling in silence, you're not alone. For many people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, behaviour or self-esteem issues, unmet needs and long-held beliefs can keep them feeling stuck. You may spend a lot of time trying to understand yourself, replaying conversations, preparing for every outcome, or searching for the "right" answer, yet still find yourself questioning whether you're doing enough and feeling exhausted by the pressure to get things right.

You feel deeply, but lately, naming what's happening inside has become harder, let alone making sense of it. Perhaps you're moving through a big life transition, noticing old wounds resurface, or sensing something needs to shift without knowing where to start. You may feel distant from your body, low on motivation, or like your emotions are steering things from behind the scenes. I support people who are ready to look beneath the surface - to reconnect with themselves, understand their inner world, and feel grounded in their lives again.

Many of us struggle with self-doubt and inconfidence. It's like we’re carrying around an invisible weight that holds us back from feeling fulfilled in our relationships, work, and personal life. Core misbeliefs, often shaped by early life experiences, have a deep impact on our self-perception, choices, and behaviours. With more self-acceptance and by realizing your own truth, you can move past the walls that are impacting how you feel and think, and proceed with more confidence and compassion. It's a journey, but with each step you get closer to living a life that's true to who you really are.

Too many good men are struggling through life feeling alone and hopeless, waging personal battles that take their toll on themselves, friends and loved ones.

I utilize a grounded and relatable approach that looks to build strength and develop skills through fostering and embracing masculinity.

Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
