You may look calm and capable on the outside, but inside, parts of you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’re barely holding it together. You long for relief, clarity, and a deeper connection with yourself. Whether you’re carrying the weight of others' needs, navigating burnout, or stuck in old emotional patterns, you don’t have to do it alone. My clients often want to stop over-functioning, soften self-criticism, and begin trusting their inner voice. Together, we’ll create space for healing through compassionate, trauma-informed work with the parts of you that need care.

Welcome- I am so glad you are here! Throughout our lives, we inevitably face periods of struggle, challenge, and adversity. The pressures of anxiety, the drain from repetitive behaviours, the pain of relationship issues, or the emptiness brought on by depression can make it seem hard to craft the life we aspire to. Yet, I hold a firm belief in your innate ability to overcome these trials, whether they are longstanding or newly felt. In working together, my aim is to form a unique connection with you: one where you can truly be yourself, focusing on where you’ve been, where you are today, and where you hope to be in the future.

Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent or LGBTQ2+ identified, or those exploring non-traditional relationship structures. They often feel stuck in familiar patterns- replaying the same conversations, feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt, or unsure why certain reactions keep showing up. There may be a sense of trying hard to move forward, yet something underneath continues to pull them back.

I focus on working with intense emotions, insecure attachment, acute and developmental trauma, nervous system healing, and neurodiversity. Part of therapy with me is practicing being in safe, secure relationship where your feedback and needs are valued & integrated into our work. I primarily work through a body-based somatic lens, with additional training in the worlds of sex therapy, relationships, and altered state integration. I have seen how connecting with and resourcing the body to process stuck emotions in a loving container leads to healing and relief.

You may be here because something in your life has fallen apart—or because you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. A relationship may have shifted, anxiety may have taken over, or you may feel defeated, alone, or unsure how to move forward.
When something painful happens, it can bring long-held beliefs to the surface—about who you are, what you can expect from others, or how safe the world feels. Becoming aware of these patterns can open the door to greater clarity and self-understanding. In working with me, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore these patterns and support meaningful healing and change.

Many couples reach out feeling more like roommates than partners, repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard, or drifting apart. Other times, major life transitions, becoming parents, blending families, or facing infidelity, stir up resentment and distance.
I help couples move from stuck and disconnected to rebuilding trust, closeness and intimacy. Together, we’ll uncover relational patterns, improve communication, and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy.
I draw on evidence-based models like the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and work with sexual connection (informed by Emily Nagoski’s research) to guide this journey.

Originally from Hong Kong, I am a RCC, CCC, an EMDR Certified Therapist and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) candidate. I provide therapy and supervision/consultation in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. My personal experiences have led me to explore the complex impacts of trauma, including its connection to anxiety, depression and somatic symptoms. I’ve dedicated myself to studying how the brain, body and nervous system respond to trauma, and how it can lead to changes that affect physical health, behaviour, social patterns and our ability to cope with stress.

I work with individuals experiencing grief, relationship challenges, and the impact of past trauma.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship pain, or the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. Perhaps you’ve spent years people-pleasing, overthinking, surviving difficult relationships, or disconnecting from yourself just to get through the day. Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted, emotionally stuck, uncertain of who they are beneath life’s pressures, or trapped in painful patterns they can’t seem to break. Whether you’re struggling with depression, perfectionism, addiction, narcissistic abuse, PTSD, dissociation, grief, or childhood trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You’re exhausted from holding it all together. On the surface, you’re functioning, but inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of who you really are. You overthink every decision, worry if people are upset with you, and feel like you’ve lost touch with who you really are.
If you’re tired of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and feeling like you're never enough, you're not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck. I help thoughtful, self-aware individuals who are ready to stop living for others and start showing up for themselves.

Reaching out for support is vulnerable and a big step towards making a change in your life. Are you overwhelmed? feeling anxious? wanting to move past old beliefs and traumas? Are you disconnected from your body? Feeling dull or uninspired? Is there grief that needs tending to?
I help people come home to their bodies, befriend emotions and re-process trauma. We will work collaboratively to find the best tools for you.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others? If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or navigating difficult life transitions, it can feel exhausting and isolating.

I work with adults and youth (ages 13-18) to address anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.

My ideal clients are adults, immigrants, and people navigating profound life transitions, cultural adaptation, or grief. Many feel disconnected or "stuck" in unhelpful behavioural patterns, seeking a culturally sensitive space to process career, life or relationship challenges.
Rooted in psychoanalysis, I offer an empathetic space to explore unconscious dynamics shaping your reality. I also integrate CBT, narrative, and creative tools. We work collaboratively at your pace to build resilience, bridging past and present to foster deep self-awareness and belonging.
