I specialize in disordered eating, and the complex relationships we often have with our bodies, food, and exercise. If you are experiencing (peri)menopause, postpartum, or other life changes alongside new or recurring symptoms of an eating disorder, we may be an especially good fit. This might be a new job, the end or start of relationship, or something else. These things can all trigger discomfort in the body, and my goal is to help you create trust and safety as through this growth.

Maybe you've tried traditional talk therapy and still feel like something is missing. The truth is, healing isn’t just about words—it’s about how we experience life through our bodies and senses. Our stories, emotions, and wounds are stored deep within us, waiting to be seen, expressed, and transformed. Are you done feeling as if life is moving on autopilot? Do you long to regain a sense of control, reconnect with yourself, and live more fully? If you have a deep desire for self-exploration and healing—one that nurtures self-acceptance, compassion, and playfulness—then I invite you to take this step with me.

Maybe you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, moving through the days with a quiet heaviness. Or you’re questioning who you are, especially when parts of your identity pull you in different directions. You might feel stuck in relationships, unheard, or caught in repeating patterns. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a client-centered, culturally responsive space. With a background in corporate life, I understand the toll of stress, perfectionism, and burnout—especially when layered with cultural or relational expectations. As an Asian female, I bring sensitivity to the experience of navigating multiple worlds.

We are finally entering one of Vancouver’s most beautiful seasons. Longer days, busier streets, everyone seeming to move forward. But sometimes, even in the middle of all that energy, you might notice a part of you feeling tired, disconnected, or unsure of what you need next. Therapy can be a space to slow down, hear yourself more clearly, and reconnect with what matters to you. I'm a Clinical Counsellor and former ICU nurse offering a warm, grounded space to talk and reflect. Sessions are available online or in-person (Oak & 12th / UBC / Commercial & 1st ). If this feels like the right time for you, I would love to connect.

Are you in a relationship, knowing that something HAS to change, but don't know how to change it? It seems like you've tried everything, but you still feel unhappy, lonely, or trapped. Or maybe you're trying to heal from a childhood of neglect and/or abuse. You know it's still affecting you, but you don't know how to fully heal. And, like many of my clients, maybe you're even asking yourself, "Why do I turn into my angsty 15-year-old self when I'm around my parents or siblings?" Or perhaps you're coming out of a lifetime of high-control religion, and are starting to sort through the beliefs, subtle manipulation, & lost community.

Are you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in painful relationship patterns with the people you love? Maybe you look like you are managing on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, heavy, angry, irritable, withdrawn, or not quite like yourself. It may feel hard to say no, ask for what you need, or understand why the same struggles keep happening. I support clients navigating family challenges, relationship stress, insomnia, chronic pain, grief, identity or sexuality exploration, and cultural or family expectations. With support, you can reconnect with yourself and others, and move toward more ease and peace.

You don't have to navigate this alone. Whether you're facing the lingering impact of trauma medical, familial, or experiential living with ADHD, chronic pain or disability, moving through life transitions, or managing anxiety, depression, or the weight of systemic oppression, your story matters here.

I work with adults across British Columbia who may appear highly capable on the outside while internally struggling with trauma, chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, nervous system overwhelm, emotional disconnection, or relationship difficulties. Many clients are insightful and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns that talking alone has not resolved. My approach is grounded, trauma-informed, and relational, integrating EMDR therapy to help clients feel more regulated, connected, emotionally present, and able to move forward with greater steadiness and authenticity.

Do you feel like you’ve reached your breaking point, yet aren’t breaking through to the next level? Maybe you fluctuate between feeling scattered or paralyzed when it comes down to keeping up with everything. You might feel stuck when it comes to improving your relationships, career, or self-care. From the outside it can look like you don’t care enough, lack motivation, or are just not trying. We know that isn’t true. You are self-aware, especially about the kind of life you want, and who you’d love to be.

You’re caught in cycles that feel familiar but draining—overthinking, shutting down, or grappling with emotions that hit hard and fast. You strive for high standards, yet beneath it all, anxiety, self-doubt, or the weight of past trauma make it tough to feel in control. You’re not broken—you’re resilient, but you’re tired of just surviving. You’re ready to understand what drives these patterns and gain tools to live with confidence and connection.

You are longing to find healing and growth, in a world designed to exhaust you. I support you using practical, evidence-based techniques, authentic connection, and a touch of humour. I work with adults, couples, and teens, in these areas of focus: identity, relationships (incl. poly/CNM, kink), sex, self-esteem, and life changes. For individuals, we will work through life's complexities and untangle narratives you have internalized, perhaps unconsciously, that impact how you show up in the world. For couples, we will look deeper into conflict to find the heart of what you really yearn for: connection, appreciation, safety.
