Hi there! I’m Marcus, a gay second-generation Chinese settler. As a student therapist under clinical supervision, I offer low-cost counselling starting at $30 a session.
My commitment to this work emerged from seeing how spiritual and cultural expectations can collide with queerness, how disconnection from community can affect one’s sense of self and belonging, and how identity, and systems of power shape our sense of self.
In my seven years of non-profit work, I’ve provided peer support to youth who survived childhood trauma, journeyed with folks who have ADHD, and offered care to low-income families.

At TCH, we understand that finding a practitioner can be an emotional and vulnerable process. Many of our clients are dealing with the impact of Trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and relationship/ family stress. Some come to us feeling overwhelmed by emotions, disconnected from themselves or loved ones, or exhausted from masking their true selves. For those living with ADHD, everyday tasks can feel chaotic or unsustainable creating frustration, low self-esteem, or shame. Others may be navigating the complex impact of trauma, emotionally unavailable relationships, or a sense of feeling "too much" or "not enough."

People often seek out therapy when they are facing pain and uncertainty — as well they should — but working with a therapist doesn’t need to be something that only happens in a moment of crisis or at the breaking point of a relationship. Therapy is also ideal during times of transition when you simply need some extra support and perspective. You owe it to yourself to take time for focus and reflection. Emotional intelligence and healthy coping skills have extraordinary value, and you should consider therapy to be an investment in your own personal wisdom. You are the expert on your life.

I believe we all yearn for a deeper connection to ourself and to those around us, but we may find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns, sacrificing our needs, and communicating in ways that do not support us or our relationships. I often work with individuals or couples who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, perceptions of low self-worth and powerlessness, feelings of abandonment, shame, and other forms of wounding related to difficult upbringings, life experiences, and trauma.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

Sometimes insight alone is not enough to create change. Many of the patterns that keep us stuck live in the brain’s emotional learning systems, which is why therapy that works with both mind and nervous system can be so powerful. I integrate CBT, Internal Family Systems, bilateral stimulation, and neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy to help gently update these patterns. In a calm, focused state, new perspectives and responses can emerge naturally. My goal is to help you reconnect with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction.
