Many of my clients are caregivers, LGBTQ+ community members, or parents of trans and gender-expansive youth seeking grounded, affirming support.

Meet Our Counsellors
Maybe you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, moving through the days with a quiet heaviness. Or you’re questioning who you are, especially when parts of your identity pull you in different directions. You might feel stuck in relationships, unheard, or caught in repeating patterns.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I offer a client-centered, culturally responsive space. With a background in corporate life, I understand the toll of stress, perfectionism, and burnout—especially when layered with cultural or relational expectations. As an Asian female, I bring sensitivity to the experience of navigating multiple worlds.

My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.
