SunLife Therapists in Vancouver, BC
You may be navigating life between cultures, carrying family expectations that feel misaligned, or quietly questioning your identity, relationships, or sense of belonging. My clients often arrive at a crossroads — something feels off, but it's hard to name. They may be processing immigration or cultural transition, untangling intergenerational family patterns, or exploring their sexuality or neurodivergent experience for the first time. Together, we slow down, make space for what's been hard to carry, and gently work toward clarity, connection, and a more grounded sense of self.

Do you overthink conversations, struggle with self-doubt, or depend on reassurance to feel secure in your relationships? Perhaps you feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or exhausted from constantly caring for others. I support adults and couples experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, burnout, and major life transitions. Counselling is available in English and Farsi, both in person in downtown Vancouver and virtually across British Columbia.

Are you a high-stress professional overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, and the constant pressure to perform? Or do you struggle with OCD, where intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and rituals make everything feel more intense? Both can leave you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, exhaustion, and overwhelm. You long to feel like yourself again—calm, confident, and deeply connected to your true purpose. Whether it’s overcoming stress or managing OCD, you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, regaining the peace and fulfillment you deserve.

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.

When the world demands we fit into their boxes, it gets hard to know ourselves. We get cut off from the parts we’ve had to hide, or contend with who we've had to become, in order to survive.
As a transgender AuDHD system, we feel this deeply. So, I offer what’s helped us: a radically accepting, empowering and understanding space where you can freely explore who you are, or want to be, with no judgements or coercion.
We deeply believe everyone, inside and out, is deserving of rights, respect and care. Yes, even the parts you wish weren’t there. You’re not too broken/weird/crazy/dangerous, and you're welcome here, exactly as you are.

Set up for direct billing with Sunlife, it may be possible to set up with others.
I specialize in working with young adults, helping clients overcome barriers and reach their goals through a direct, authentic approach that prioritizes collaboration and building a relationship. I work with clients navigating Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Grief, Trauma, and other challenges. As a child of Soviet immigrants, I also speak Russian fluently. While I grew up in Canada and speak Russian with an accent, it does allow me to connect with clients who feel more comfortable in the language. It also allows me to better understand some of the challenges faced by newcomers in our community.

Despite your best efforts, you may find yourself returning to the same patterns: overthinking, being hard on yourself, struggling in relationships, or feeling influenced by experiences you thought were behind you. Understanding these patterns is the first step. Lasting change comes from learning to respond differently. Together, we'll explore what's keeping these patterns in place and develop practical, evidence-based strategies that help you break unhelpful patterns, so your choices reflect the person you want to be.

Hi! I work with a diverse range of people, including those experiencing eating disorders and disordered eating, anxiety, depression, familial conflict, trauma, cPTSD, and cultural issues.
Any of these issues can likely be taking up too much space in your life. They could be affecting your mood, your health and well-being, or your sense of self-worth. No matter where you are on this spectrum, your struggle is real and valid, and you don't have to face it alone.

I believe that life has the potential to be beautiful and fulfilling. At the same time, I believe that life consistently presents us with challenges and that these challenges can ultimately serve and enable our own growth. I see counselling as the space where we can more fully understand ourselves and discover how to live our lives to the fullest. I believe that by taking such a position we can become more aspirational and creative rather than becoming stuck on and identified with problems. Through becoming more conscious and aware, I believe we can unlock ourselves, overcome barriers, and find creative paths towards living fully.

Sometimes worries and heavy sadness comes in waves, and staying afloat can feel impossible. If you’re feeling stretched thin, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, at a pace that feels right for you.
