My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.

We are all shaped by the unique experiences we have had in our lives. These experiences come together to tell our stories, however, sometimes our stories become difficult to bear. At times it may feel like you can't quite get your footing, or the stress you are experiencing is starting to impact your personal or professional life. The wonderful part of stories is that they are meant to be told. Together, we will navigate the complexities of life, embracing empowerment, and healing, and build on the resiliency you already have.

Welcome! I appreciate your courage for landing here today. I am a second-generation Chinese Canadian immigrant and my heart lies in mental health work within the Asian and bicultural diaspora surrounding racism, intergenerational trauma, minority stress, and cultural grief. My lived experience helps me empathize with the complexities of balancing personal and collective needs, and the pain of staying silent to protect ourselves and others. I hope to empower fellow humans to reclaim their identity - to no longer negotiate their culture and values, and give themselves permission to take up space in the world.

Life has its ups and downs, and sometimes things can feel too much to be with on your own. I support people to better understand themselves, deal with life's stresses in more constructive ways, and foster meaningful connections. As a gay man who grew up in a conservative Christian environment, I especially enjoy working with men, queer folks, and those who have experienced religious trauma. Further, I work with couples looking to improve their communication, deepen their emotional intimacy, and work through hurts and betrayals.

Do you struggle with depression or anxiety that affects your relationships? Are you feeling exhausted from just getting through the day? Do you hope that your life could be better? As women, we are often holding onto old emotional wounds that keep our minds & bodies trapped in the past, repeating old behaviour patterns that no longer serve us in the present. I specialize in working with women who have a history of trauma, violence or abuse of any kind that affects their current relationships. I want you to know, that I believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel & that you are worthy of happy, healthy relationships.

Clients tell me I’m calm, curious, and compassionate—a patient, friendly collaborator who helps them find insight, connection, and direction. I'm a good fit with people who sometimes feel a bit “different” or want something a bit different in life. Like most, I am somewhat wounded myself (and relatively comfortable with it), and that helps me connect with people experiencing loneliness, anxiety, depression, feelings of day-to-day boredom and restlessness, and (perhaps especially) existential angst.

Reaching out for help is a huge step and can be uncomfortable and I believe that building a trusting and safe environment is essential. I help my clients become empowered and active participants to work through challenges such as loss, grief, life transitions, trauma, low mood, anger, and finding meaning in their lives. My previous career as a teacher and athletic coach as well as my Masters in Counselling Psychology have helped provide me with many different perspectives. I work with individuals ranging from youth to adults of any gender and sexual orientation.

I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have a deep understanding of how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gets to the root of the problem. I prioritize making sure clients leave feeling seen and heard by their partner, equipped with new skills to get out of a stuck place.
