Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I help folks create the space, time and energy they need to heal and prevent burnout. Having experienced severe burnout on a personal & professional level, I know how difficult it is to take that first healing step. The idea of more work, even if it means you could feel better for it, might not be jiving with your energy levels right now. You're not alone. Our work together will seek to release pressure and relieve the painful symptoms associated with chronic stress, anxiety and burnout. I'm here to help you bring your much needed presence, gifts and experience back to your family, community and the world.

I have had the honor of supporting children, teens, adults and families both in private practice and in a community mental health setting. With a passion for meeting people where they are at, I support young people and adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, conflict, loss, and life transitions. Working together to draw on your strengths and personal experiences, counselling can provide a safe space for self-exploration, expression and increased self-awareness. My office is an inclusive, queer and trans-affirming space and my practice is informed by an intersectional social justice lens.

I have 30 years of experience assisting clients in my clinical practice focusing on couples counseling, addiction, stress, change and transition in life, aging and relationships. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in changing their behavior/beliefs to develop a strong sense of self combined with more positive productive relationships. I believe that I work well with clients who are seeking to address the complex and difficult issues we all face in this ever-changing and challenging world, but are open to exploring new ways of viewing life's journey with all it's struggles while not losing sight of all it has to offer.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future. I specialize in children, teens and families. I believe that parents do the best they can with the tools they have been given - tools that can be learned and expanded through counselling. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) (member #17809). I work primarily with individual children (6-12), individual teens (ages 13+) and parents.

I provide individual and couple counselling for adults from the age of 18 to seniors for anxiety, depression, anger issues and traumas in English and Mandarin Chinese. My practice focus is with clients suffering from life and/or career transition, or relational issues either with parents, partners or children, or clients who find it hard either to start a relationship or maintain a relationship. In addition, I provide pre-marital counselling for young couples to help them preparing their new life with less stress and anxiety. I also provide career counselling for university students, and executives with emotion or work fatigue.

I work with clients who want to find relief from their struggles with the following: depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, worthlessness, despair, disordered eating, life/work transitions, addiction (substances, pornography and gambling), and the negative impact of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty. Often in the beginning, people come in feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and may be clearer initially of what isn't working for them or what they no longer want in their life. I believe these feelings are a resource to reveal what you do want in your life, what's important to you, your values, hopes, dreams and commitments.

My approach is collaborative- meaning sessions will feel conversational in style, will always involve humor and I will ask questions to help you recognize themes in your experience and bodily sense. I work from the stance that therapists are often too quick to consider individuals' concerns solely as matters of personal psychology. My philosophy and commitment is to also weigh the social and political aspects of your experience. Our symptoms (sadness, worry, etc.) must be addressed seriously, but we must also acknowledge the contributions of a persons' entire context (political setting, cultural background, race, gender, sexuality,

My work is relational, emotion-focused, and experiential. Relational means establishing a unique and real connection with people — i.e. not being a “blank slate” therapist. Emotion-focused means helping people pay attention to old emotional patterns that may no longer be serving them. Experiential means going beyond just talking about patterns. It means offering actual in-session experiences of doing things a different way — working together to form new and preferred patterns that are conducive to one’s therapy goal(s).

The clients coming into my practice are diverse; from mid-twenties to mid-sixties, from various cultural background, and in need of help to heal from trauma, grief, phobias, relationship challenges, depression and anxiety. My clients really appreciate the powerful, transformative experiential exercises that are part of my therapeutic modalities. And when appropriate, I weave in professional coaching so that clients not only heal, but they are optimally supported into their new vision of themselves and the life they really want to create.

You are a bicultural millennial woman looking to develop a healthier relationship with yourself. You had to grow up quickly due to difficult experiences in your childhood or family, so you took on the role of being Strong. For a long time, you held everything in, minimized your needs, and bottled up your emotions because that was what you had to do to get by. Lately, you’ve started to feel the toll of living this way. Suppressing your emotions has caused undue stress on your body; constantly keeping up an “image” or chameleon-ing around others has become exhausting; most of all, you’re tired of not having space for you.

Are you feeling lonely despite being in the company of others? Pretending everything is ok when you don't feel that way is hard work and can leave you feeling isolated. If you're feeling like life has gotten so difficult that you aren't able to relate to others the way you'd like, I'm here help. You don't have to do this alone and you have what it takes to get through this.
