In this fast-paced, demanding, and constantly changing world, the majority of us are experiencing different levels of stress in our daily lives. Most of our stresses are created by the pulling between two opposite ends. One end is need, responsibility, change, family, work, relationships etc. The other end is want, calm, fun, consistency etc. My work is focused on how to walk in the middle of these two ends and still have a life full of meaning. My practice is providing a safe and supportive environment, focusing on the here and now and strengthening self-awareness.

Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals. Therapy can help relieve anxiety that stops you from enjoying everyday activities, assist you in overcoming past challenges and traumas, and introduce strategies so you can relate better to individuals in the present. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

I understand there are a lot of psychological and interpersonal needs of the people living in the Great Toronto Area, including Markham, Richmond Hill and others. I especially want to serve the population speaking Mandarin and Cantonese. Their tradition is keeping every conflict and stress inside so that they may miss the early chance to receive professional help for their mental health and their strong families. They may experience more pain, stress, and struggle before they seek for psychological counselling and psychotherapy. I understand their culture well and can provide better services to reach a healthier person, couple and family.

What if you can stop feeling anxious and overwhelmed, and start feeling more secure and confident? What if you are no longer striving to please others and are able to stop worrying about whether others are judging you? I can help you to overcome these nagging insecurities and listen to your inner compass so that you can build motivation, courageously make choices and connect with others authentically.

In my work with clients, I take a client-centred approach that respects people as being the authority on their own experience and recognizes the key role that emotions play in our lives. I use an integrated approach to counseling that is informed by various therapeutic modalities as well as by my extensive clinical experience, but always with a focus on the uniqueness of each individual and customize the treatment plan according to individuality. Over the years, I have effectively helped many people adjust for better lives - helping them learn the strategies and tools necessary to resolve their difficulties and build on their strengths.

I am a registered psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience working with adults, both individually and with their families. My philosophy is as follows: if there are things that we recognize to be in need of change, we can work on the necessary changes. In contrast, for the matters in life which we cannot change, we need to have the patience to accept them. "Change" requires "courage", which I will help you to find. The acceptance of the fate is a quality which psychotherapy helps you to build it in yourself.

I am a registered Social Worker Therapist. I believe that change is possible and there is hope to lead a meaningful and fulfilled life. Our experiences can lead to difficulties with our emotions, moods, patterns of thinking and relationships, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, out of control or just stuck. I provide clients with support and tools to recognize their needs and then meet these needs. I work with individuals and/or their families to improve the quality of their life. Emotional well-being enhances a person's ability to better deal with the stresses of life, change unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
