Women's Issues Therapists in Downtown, Vancouver, BC

Are you seeking ways to more effectively deal with anxiety, depression, or to heal from the effects of traumatic experiences? It take courage to tackle your challenges, heal from past hurts and change unhelpful beliefs that hold you back. When you feel stuck, or confused, it can be helpful to have someone come alongside you to help find your way, strengthen yourself, and get your feet back on the ground. If you do not feel you are living the life you want, we can work together to find your path.

If you’re here, I believe you want something to change, and are looking for a safe and comfortable space to understand and work through your problems. You might be feeling alone and misunderstood in your struggles. You might be upset or angry with yourself for being depressed or anxious, or for feeling like you lack worth, and don’t like what you see in the mirror. You may be feeling “ridiculous” for not being able to perform daily tasks. This can be especially so if you are struggling with issues around gender, sexuality and homophobia, or if you are a person of colour.

I approach my work from a feminist lens that acknowledges the structural barriers and societal expectations that often influence our experiences. I will seek to empower you and depathologize your experience Through both my work as a therapist and my theological studies prior to this work, I have found myself curious about the innate human capacity to heal, something that I find often begins with undoing aloneness.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.

My approach to counselling is fundamentally about building a genuine relationship characterized by support, care and encouragement. A space where it is safe to speak the truth about what has happened in your life. The kind of relationship that welcomes your whole self to be present, including the parts you don’t like. A place where you are received with compassion and acceptance, no matter how much anguish, confusion, rage, shame or despair you might be feeling. I know from my own experience that this kind of relationship creates the conditions for deep inner healing to occur and holds the potential for profound personal growth.

Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at. Single, coupled and everywhere in between.

As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their own distinctive identities. My counselling approach is comprehensive, utilizing post-modern narrative theory to view clients as whole individuals, rather than pathologizing or labeling them. I work with clients aged 18 and up, including seniors, and specialize in parent-adult children relationship counselling, career-related issues, and couple counselling.
