Are you working endlessly to fix everything in your life — parenting your children, pushing yourself at work, managing relationships — yet still feeling drained and lonely inside? Do you quietly long for someone who truly understands your suffering, but when reaching out, you end up receiving advice that makes you feel judged and lonely? Do you wonder what it would feel like to live a life that’s genuinely self-directed — free from pressure, expectations, and constant striving? Many people assume counselling is slow or just small talk — but in reality, it can be the most effective “quick fix” to your stress and exhaustion.

As a counsellor raised in Hong Kong and now based in Vancouver, I deeply understand how cultural expectations and family pressures can create profound anxiety. Many people feel completely exhausted on the inside, yet still push themselves to maintain the facade that "I'm doing fine."

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change, or unsure how to communicate your needs in important relationships. Relationship difficulties, family pressure, anxiety, chronic health concerns, or major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

Whether I am holding space for an adult, child, or teen, I aim to understand you and your unique experience of the world – what’s working, and what feels stuck!

Human beings, on the whole, are extraordinarily complex. I believe that we each carry within us depths that we do not necessarily draw on in our day-to-day movements, be it by choice, or by a certain unawareness – when what is needed to access our full capacities has not yet been discovered. When feeling stuck, it can be important to be reminded of our resilience and our capacity to change, to flow in the midst of flux.

I work primarily with parents and caregivers of emotionally sensitive, anxious, neurodivergent, or behaviourally reactive children. Many families come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to best support their child through meltdowns, anxiety, emotional outbursts, school stress, or family conflict. My approach is warm, reflective, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. I help families better understand the emotional, developmental and relational needs underlying a child's behaviours, while also supporting parents in building practical, sustainable strategies that strengthen connection, co-regulation & confidence over time

The people I often work with are struggling with feeling like they don't belong anywhere - whether that be with friends, family or at school, or work. They feel like they aren't 'good enough,' to be in the spaces or roles that they are in. Some find their relationships complicated - with friends, family, or romantic partners - where others don’t understand their values and what they want. You deserve to be heard, you deserve to live life on your terms with your values, and you deserve space to belong.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
