I help teens and adults overcome anxiety, burnout, university stress, and disordered eating. Everyone's journey is different; I tailor my work to each individual to help you reach your goals and help you build the best parts of yourself. I like to build on your strengths and interests, which can make therapy feel a lot less intimidating and help you see yourself outside of your struggles. I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) in sessions, which is a clinically proven method in helping people not let anxiety rule their thoughts, behaviours, and life. I also incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, IFS, and Art Therapy in my work.

My ideal clients are adults and teens carrying more than they can hold alone — quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling unheard in their relationships. They may appear high-functioning while hurting inside. Reaching out takes courage, and I don't take that lightly. Drawing on CBT, EMDR, DBT, and IFS, I work at a pace that feels safe and trauma-informed. Together we explore patterns, build awareness, and develop tools that fit your real life. You are not broken you are ready to heal.

I am open to working with immigrants and refugees, including those from Korea who might feel more comfortable speaking in Korean.
한국어 설명은 위 "한국어" 를 클릭하세요. From birth to death, we constantly move between the spectrum of stability and fragility. No one’s always firm, and no one’s always vulnerable. No one’s entirely powerless or one hundred percent stoic in the face of challenging circumstances. Counselling cannot immediately alter the external factors of your situation, but it can encourage a better response from you. I wish, through counselling, you will find opportunities for growth and change.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

We all live complex lives and are having to face an ever-changing environment. This can be immensely stressful. We all experience challenges in our lives but we do not always have the clarity or skills to effectively navigate our way through them. We then either get stuck or continue to go through life living on auto-pilot. To create a meaningful life, we need to reconnect with ourselves, the things we value and fine tune our skills to attain our goals. Working through challenges in our past or those in the present in a supportive, therapeutic environment can help us build a fuller and more meaningful life.
