My passion in counselling is working with adolescents and emerging adults.
People tend to turn to counselling when they feel alone, lost, unsure, or just need someone on their team. They may be seeking a place to feel safe in order to explore and discover who they want to be and what they want to do. They may have specific concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, stress, and burnout.

I have a deep personal understanding of the struggles faced by today’s youth and young adults. Growing up in an immigrant, working class family who came as Vietnamese boat refugees, I was the first Canadian-born child in my family. Because of this, I know first hand what it’s like to navigate life’s hardships, and that understanding has driven my lifelong passion to provide meaningful, compassionate mental health care to youth and young adults from all walks of life. My passion is to support you through the seasons of your life, pertaining to school, work, and relationships, with improved self-confidence and clarity in your decision

I specialize in supporting individuals across the lifespan—from children as young as seven to older adults—with a focus on grief, loss, trauma, and identity.
In the depths of life’s joys and sorrows lies the essence of our existence. Dr. Colin Murray Parkes once wrote, “The pain of grief is just as much a part of life as the joy of love; it is, perhaps, the price we pay for love, the cost of commitment.” His words remind us that love and loss are inseparable; the deeper the connection, the greater the risk of pain when it changes or ends, often leading to profound suffering. This understanding deeply influences my philosophy as a counsellor, as it suggests that true healing involves accepting and exploring the full range of human emotions, including both joy and grief.

I work with young people (ages 12+), adults and families.
Many of us have experienced the impacts of negative stories or beliefs about ourselves. These stories can serve to separate us from our preferred ways of living and being in the world. Have you had these types of experiences? Has this resulted in anxiety, depression, anger, low self-worth and/or despair or challenges with substance use? My work is focused on supporting you to renegotiate your relationship to these unhelpful stories. I am skilled at supporting people to (re)connect with their values, and hopes and to develop a new and preferred picture of themselves.

With a broad base of life and work experiences, I counsel adults of all ages living with loss, trauma, mood imbalance, and anxiety. Three values guide my practice: connection, growth, and balance. A safe and trusting environment in counselling supports a therapeutic relationship, which can inspire changes in other relationships. Small changes can have a huge impact over time. Lifelong, each of us continues to develop, often learning from our mistakes and suffering. Balance is the key to health. There is healing power in the connections made between the body, heart, and mind.

I see therapy as a journey of self awareness and liberation. As adults, we often assume we should have life figured out. Yet, we’re caught off guard when overwhelmed or lost. Truth is, life is complex, and few of us possess a manual for navigating it. Any combination of difficult life circumstances, unprocessed childhood hardships, not-yet-developed skills and unexamined values usually play a role in the underlying setup of our confusion and overwhelm. I help you tease out these contributing factors and grow your authentic self, so you can dream of a thriving life and take steps toward building it.
