Are you experiencing burn out or signs of compassion fatigue in your professional environment? Many people I work with are skilled at providing care, meditating conflicts, and holding space for others, but struggle to receive the support they need and being held by others. In a world constantly demand our best capable selves to show up, to be resilient and thrive under stress, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted is common. If you’re seeking a generative, playful and trauma-informed way to mitigate burn out, we may be a good fit.

Being riddled with difficult thought patterns, unpleasant feelings you are trying to control in outdated ways and self doubt is bloody hard and takes a toll. I believe that people do want to change, but often do not know where to start and it can feel so daunting and impossible - I know, I have been there (a few times). I am passionate about helping people build a more peaceful relationship inside themselves and am here to support you in getting to the root of what it going on and supporting you to take actionable steps so you can move toward what matters to you.

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 focus areas: 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 are really yearning for: connection, appreciation, safety.

I’m a trauma-informed counsellor who helps people heal from complex trauma and CPTSD. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you’re not alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space, we’ll explore your inner world through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, gently getting to know the parts of you that protect and the ones that carry pain. Together, we’ll build safety, self-compassion, and regulation so you can reconnect with your authentic self and move toward a life of balance, meaning, and wholeness.

My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. I emphasize the importance of a strong, compassionate therapeutic relationship and work primarily from a trauma informed, client-centered model. I incorporate elements of emotion focused, narrative, dialectical behavioural, internal family systems, parts work, attachment, strengths/resiliency based, and somatic approaches. I primarily work from a process oriented place by working on issues brought up in the moment and spending time breaking down the beliefs, emotions, and behaviours that accompany each issue.

I offer direct-billing for Telus eclaim, Pacific Blue Cross, ICBC, and CVAP.
If you have been feeling distant from your partner or finding that your conflicts go around in circles, I am the right therapist for you. Regardless of the specific issue, I find that one thing can often be missing—a close connection, a secure attachment, or sometimes it’s that “spark” that brought them together initially. Through communication and other skills, I support couples in rebuilding that connection. Once this foundation is established, the couples often share that they feel softer and more endearing toward each other, naturally becoming more open to exploring new ways to solve the old issues.

I specialize in EMDR therapy for adults experiencing trauma, complex PTSD, attachment wounds, anxiety, high-functioning trauma, dissociation, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and nervous system overwhelm. Many of my clients have spent years in therapy and understand why they struggle, yet continue to experience the emotional, physical, and relational effects of trauma. They are often successful, capable, and insightful on the outside while privately living with the lasting effects of childhood experiences, chronic stress, or difficult relationships. I provide online EMDR therapy throughout British Columbia.

Hi, I’m Justin. It might look like you're keeping it together, but inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are hard to explain. Maybe your relationships feel distant. Maybe sex feels like a source of stress instead of connection. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to do it alone. I help individuals and couples work through intimacy struggles, relationship stress, anxiety, and identity concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like something is missing in their personal experiences or with others. My practice is sex-positive, kink-aware, BDSM-informed, and affirming.

Many of my clients come in struggling to genuinely like themselves. They're caught in a cycle of self-criticism and self-doubt, feeling like nothing they ever do is enough. They're terrified that if they start to speak up or set a boundary, the people they love will walk away, so they don't. Their fears settle into the body, showing up as a mental spiral, a tight chest, a racing heart, until eventually they just shut down. Sometimes they can even see their patterns, but they still feel really stuck. That's where this work comes in.

Thank you for stopping by my page. Regardless of what brought you here, I congratulate you on making one step toward seeking wellness. Deciding to start therapy is hard; being vulnerable with a stranger takes enormous courage. I am privileged to have witnessed countless transformations that people were going through, either inside or outside my office. As an Asian-origin female therapist, I work with my clients to navigate life through their unique perspectives. Our intersectionalities can be our strength and resilience.

As a psychologist, I believe in my clients’ resilience and ability to overcome challenging life conditions. Sometimes however, clients can benefit from professional help that is empowering and safe and promotes clients’ readiness to address concerns and receive evidence-based treatment. I provide effective cognitive behavioural interventions that integrate mindfulness, multicultural and social justice perspectives. My approach to therapy and assessment is collaborative and relational. I have completed an externship in Emotion focused therapy as well training in EMDR.
