Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

Accepting New Clients / Available for supervision (not practicum students). People today are making their mental health a priority. When someone reaches out for counselling, it's usually because of a problem they want to work through, something they hope to change, or an area of their life they wish to improve. Counselling is very much a collaborative process. I see my role as creating a therapeutic environment that feels comfortable & safe so clients can explore their lives more fully and come to a greater understanding of who they are. Direct Billing option thru Telus e-Health possible; Medavie Blue Cross provider (RCMP, CAF, VA).

At this time, I am offering both in-person and online counselling.
My expertise is in working with difficulties related to relational dynamics, especially those found in Asian/Asian North American contexts and families. In addition to having lived in Hong Kong, I've worked diverse clients in Los Angeles and Vancouver and I enjoy working with people who are hoping to make better sense of themselves and others from multiple perspectives. Former clients of mine regularly feel as though they are more aware of their "blind spots", are more free to make good life choices, and are prepared to have more fulfilling relationships overall.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 15 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.

In my practice, I offer a warm, nurturing environment rooted in person-centered principles.
Your late teens, 20s and 30s can feel overwhelming. Between navigating relationship dynamics, career shifts, or just that constant feeling that you "should" have it all figured out by now, it’s a lot to carry. I offer therapy to support teens and adults navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, grief and loss, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to help you move past the "shoulds" and get to know the version of yourself that feels authentic and aligned with how you want to live.

Life keeps moving, but something inside may not have caught up yet. Many people come to counselling with a quiet sense of being unsettled or internally out of step, often during times of transition, loss, emotional strain, or change. Life may look fine on the outside while something feels unresolved within. You might feel stuck, uncertain, or unsure how to make sense of what you’re carrying. Rather than quick answers, you may be looking for space to slow down, listen and be listened to more closely, and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.

It is never too late to find out who you want to become. Together we can work through what is holding you back from having the life you hope for. I believe this is worth doing at any age, and any stage of life or relationship. Moving forward and connecting with others when you feel stuck or slowed down by your own pain or past is difficult. Feeling as though every day you carry a heavy load of anxiety, disappointments, and painful memories. You might feel tired, worn out and you don’t have the energy to connect with the people and activities that could bring you happiness, joy and love.

I offer in-person and online therapy sessions.
I believe mental health is not a permanent state but a dynamic one, characterized by periods of equilibrium and disequilibrium. The latter can manifest as frustration, disappointment, helplessness, somatic pain, chronic fatigue, dysfunction, job loss, impulsive behaviors, relational difficulties, and varying levels of anxiety. The good news is that, together, we can successfully navigate these periods of disequilibrium to achieve a higher level of growth and a new equilibrium through our therapeutic sessions.

If you’re a woman experiencing anxiety and/or depression who often engages in negative self-talk, my open and compassionate way of working with body and mind may be right for you. Your gloom/dread may come from traumatic experiences, and/or it may arise from good experiences that did not happen. The empathy that wasn't demonstrated, a safety that wasn't provided, grief that wasn't attended; developmental experience influences your ability to show up as the person you want to be. Missing out on good experiences, or bearing traumatic experience, can affect your sense of security, it does not, however, stop you from earning security.

Do you envision a life that truly resonates with your deepest desires? a life where you feel authentically you, unburdened by self-doubt and limitations? You are probably someone who craves fulfillment and authenticity in every aspect of your life. You may have felt a lingering sense of emptiness or wrestled with self-limiting beliefs that have held you back. Emotional challenges like anxiety, grief or a lack of self-confidence may have been recurring hurdles on your journey. Yet, you have an innate desire for something more profound, a life that aligns with your true self.

Originally from Hong Kong, I am a RCC, CCC, an EMDR Certified Therapist, an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) candidate and a registered provider with the Crime Victims Assistance Program (CVAP). I provide therapy and supervision 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.

To all appearances you’ve got a great life. You’re smart, driven, & successful. But privately, you sometimes struggle with negative thoughts you have about who you are, what you are worth, and what you've done with your life. These stubborn thoughts and beliefs are affecting every aspect of your life: your health, work, your relationships, and your self-esteem. You try to keep them at bay but you're exhausted from the effort and you want to break free of them and live again. You want to feel seen, supported & understood by someone you can trust. You're ready for something new.
