If we all could have the option to be supported and heard with our struggles, to be connected and cared for, perhaps our ability to move through them and towards our goals would be different. What is it you wish to shift, where would your life be right now? How can I help you get there? If you are a victim of crime you may be eligible for counselling through CVAP. I am an approved CVAP counsellor.

I’m a bilingual Asian relationship counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), fluent in both English and Vietnamese. I work with individuals and couples who want to heal from past wounds, navigate emotional triggers, and strengthen their connection.
My approach combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and body-based trauma work to help clients feel safe, grounded, and understood. I believe that when we feel secure enough to open up, we can begin to repair and build healthier patterns of communication and closeness.
In our sessions, I create a calm and supportive space where you can explore difficult emotions, learn

Hello and welcome! If you reading my personal statement you have taken that first step to reach out for help or support. For some of you this first step might have been easy, for many others starting the search took some time. And choosing a counsellor by having a brief conversation is next. I start the counseling process exactly where you are. Using a style that is collaborative and gentle, but can switch to using humour and challenge if that works better for you.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you want to be. Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, addiction, grief and loss, or ongoing anxiety, shame, or low self esteem. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of understanding, along with a space where you can slow down and feel genuinely heard. Often the goal is not to fix something, but to feel more grounded, regulated, and connected to yourself and your life.

Thank you for taking a moment to look at my profile. I am a clinical counsellor who primarily provides care to populations that have more difficulty accessing health services. I am referring to people living in small towns and rural areas, the population that has an aversion to the healthcare system due to having previously faced barriers and prejudices, and also to populations who often find it difficult to access the system itself, such as immigrant and refugee communities. Beyond the principles that guide clinical practice, in the therapeutic space that I strive to provide, perhaps my greatest concerns are hope and human dignity.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in New Westminster, BC, offering both in-person and virtual sessions.

Obsessive Compulsive Therapist. Obsessive thoughts can range from replaying conversations to images and thoughts that scare and exhaust you. Do you notice a persistent feeling of uncertainty and a need to feel safe? You may have impulses to repeat actions or seek endless reassurance that never satisfies the fear that your partner will leave you. There are many ways you can feel compelled to check things online, count, or reread to find a sense of ease. Even though these strategies offer a moment's rest, the same unease returns. These thoughts and rituals interfere with work and relationships, particularly during stressful times.

I often work with people who are used to holding everything together for others, while quietly struggling on their own. You may be the person others rely on, the one who keeps going, keeps caring, and keeps pushing through even when you’re overwhelmed. Somewhere along the way, you may have learned to hold your emotions in, overthink everything, or put your own needs aside just to get by. Often, these ways of coping began as a way to navigate difficult experiences, relationships, or environments. Sometimes, you just know something doesn’t feel okay, even if you can’t fully explain why.

My clients want relief from emotional pain and guidance on their journey toward self-improvement. They may have tried self-help strategies, or perhaps even other therapists, but they’re still looking for something deeper and more effective. They want to work with someone who has life experience that truly understands them, someone who can see past surface-level issues and help uncover the deeper, root causes of their struggles. They are motivated by a desire to live authentically, experience healthier relationships, and break free from negative cycles that have held them back in the past.

Being a human being is complicated, and often difficult, and we all need understanding and support from other people. I work as a counsellor because I want to provide that support and understanding, and I want to help people find and reclaim power in their lives, even in the face things they cannot change. I work as a team with my clients to build on their skills and strengths, figure out what coping strategies might not be working for them anymore, and find new ways of coping and being in the world. I work with all kinds of clients, and I am particularly interested in supporting neurodiverse, disabled, and chronically ill clients.

Are you looking for someone to lean on and share without judgment? My approach to therapy is listening with an open heart. There was a time I did not speak up and if I did, I thought people would be critical of me. I was extremely self-conscious, it took a crisis in my life to reach out for help. I am here today to tell you that this experience shifted my life tremendously. The crisis was an end of a relationship and a suicide in my family. I ended up going back to school after over 20’s years in the same job and I am a counsellor today. Choosing the right counsellor is important and this relationship should feel connective.
