Hi and welcome! It is my mission to support people in a safe, non-judgmental space on their journey toward a life full of harmony, freedom and meaning. My experience has taught me that genuine presence, validation, open communication and even the smallest steps toward healing can help your growth.
My clinical psychology training allowed me to acquire CBT-based, psychodynamic, family-oriented and person-centered methods, as well as several indirect techniques (e.g. symbolic, relaxation, imaginative and more), which I have used in my practice to help individuals and couples with a wide range of mental health concerns.

Regardless of age, we all experience life transitions that shift how we see ourselves and the world, prompting deep questions: “Who am I?”, “What do I want?”, “Who do I want to become?”, “What is my soul asking for?”, “What is my purpose?”. Maybe you've already started asking. Though everything seems fine, there's an unexplained emptiness. Motivation is low, and nothing truly excites you—but this isn't who you are. You are curious, motivated, and alive. You’re ready to move forward and build a life filled with satisfaction and contentment.

You’re exhausted from carrying everything quietly. Depression has narrowed your world: motivation is low, joy feels distant, and you’re tired of explaining yourself to people who don’t really get it. You want relief, not clichés. You want to understand what’s happening inside you, regain steadiness, and feel like yourself again. More than anything, you want to feel less alone in this and believe that change is possible: even if you’re not sure how yet.

Hi there!
I'm a Second-Generation, Asian-Canadian, and Registered Clinical Counsellor with my M.A. in Counselling Psychology from UBC. I often work with individuals who are navigating complex emotional challenges where problems vary from being clearly defined (ie. feeling overwhelmed or "stuck"), or unsure of what is exactly "wrong." My approach involves developing a therapeutic relationship where we can work together supported by compassion, non-judgement, and intention. The goal is not to "fix" people but to support them in developing new, or adapting current strengths to best work for them moving forward.
