Having a family member struggling with mental health issue has first inspired me to go into counselling. I have also been through counselling at different points in my life, which helps me gain a better understanding of the counselling process and its benefits as a client.

Wai-Han (慧嫻) is my name — Wai meaning wisdom, and Han meaning elegance. I was born and raised in a shame-based culture, where early messages often felt opposite to my name — that I was not enough. Over time, I came to understand the deep impact words can have: how they shape how we see ourselves, and how they can wound or bring life. Through my own journey of healing, I experienced how words can also bring restoration, freedom, and a renewed sense of self. That is part of why I care deeply about offering a space where people can bring the parts of themselves that feel ashamed, hidden or hard to name, and be met with care and warmth.

Reaching out for help is a huge step and can be uncomfortable and I believe that building a trusting and safe environment is essential. I help my clients become empowered and active participants to work through challenges such as loss, grief, life transitions, trauma, low mood, anger, and finding meaning in their lives. My previous career as a teacher and athletic coach as well as my Masters in Counselling Psychology have helped provide me with many different perspectives. I work with individuals ranging from youth to adults of any gender and sexual orientation and I am able to offer both in person and online sessions.

Hi, I’m Maria, an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and Asian Canadian who identifies as part of the 1
I specialize in trauma-informed EMDR therapy for adults and young adults. I also integrate Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help process experiences that may still feel stuck. This brain-body approach supports the nervous system in integrating difficult memories, so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.

There are gifts and transformations embedded within trauma. My counselling approach is holistic and relationally based with a focus on a somatic (body) awareness to bring congruency between the mind and body. Many of our wounds occurred within our most trusted relationships causing us to have difficulties getting close to loved ones. Also, we become disconnected from ourselves when we experience trauma or disruptions in relationships. The good news is, with the right support, everyone has an inner capacity to heal and transform from their struggles.

Sometimes, we all need someone to talk to.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, unsure of who you are, or struggling to manage the weight of life’s pressures, it can be challenging to move forward on your own. If past pain still lingers and quietly affects your daily life, it may be time to seek support, and you don’t have to face it alone.

You are never meant to do this life alone. As humans, our aloneness is undone when another person comes alongside us. Perhaps you are desiring healing of past wounds so that you can build deeper and more secure relationships with yourself and others. Perhaps you are at the crossroads and making a life altering decision and are needing support as you transition. Maybe you are experiencing burnout. Or you may be struggling with how to go on living in the wake of losses. Whatever challenge you are facing today, I want you to know that there is hope for change. I count it an honour to walk alongside you and meet you where you are at.

My expertise is in working with difficulties related to relational dynamics, especially those found in Asian/ Asian North American contexts and families.
I primarily work within a psychodynamic psychotherapy framework. This means we will talk about whatever you wish, but I am always interested in your relational and emotional being as these are keys to your healing. I'm also interested in helping people untangle and develop new perspectives to their past, current, and future faith expressions.

I work with many who identify as Asian men, but my practice is welcoming to people of all genders and ethnicities.
My work is grounded in attachment-based, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches that integrate mind–body awareness. I draw from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Narrative and Existential Therapy, and CBT. I also offer preparation and integration support for psychedelic-assisted therapy, with cultural awareness and meaningful connection.

We are living in extremely challenging times - witnessing the rise of fascism, genocides, war, displacement, and climate change. For BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, women, people with mental health issues, and others of marginalized identities, it is exhausting to exist in this colonial & capitalist world. These systems were not built for us. They constantly extract from us and undermine our worth. It is important to know that you matter and deserve to be heard in a space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. I support people of marginalized identities & allies to process their grief, honour their rage, and heal their wounds.
