In this fast-paced, demanding, and constantly changing world, the majority of us are experiencing different levels of stress in our daily lives. Most of our stresses are created by the pulling between two opposite ends. One end is need, responsibility, change, family, work, relationships etc. The other end is want, calm, fun, consistency etc. My work is focused on how to walk in the middle of these two ends and still have a life full of meaning. My practice is providing a safe and supportive environment, focusing on the here and now and strengthening self-awareness.

Life can have situations that may be difficult to cope and hard to find a way out. You have a choice to ask for help or try working on it on your own.

A person who can help guide you through these difficult times at a pace that doesn't seem so overwhelming. Go ahead and give me a call, it may be a conversation that you feel needs to happen.

**Not Accepting New Clients at this Time, Thank You!** Whether you are new to therapy or looking for a fresh perspective, I work with people who feel overwhelmed and stuck. Stuck in their grief, fears, or memories. Stuck in a job or a relationship that no longer satisfies. Stuck with intense emotions that can hijack the mind and derail daily life. What can help at this point is someone who can relate to you personally as well as explore the patterns that may be playing themselves out, but are no longer serving you. This way, nothing you have been through needs to limit where you go from here.

I understand there are a lot of psychological and interpersonal needs of the people living in the Great Toronto Area, including Markham, Richmond Hill and others. I especially want to serve the population speaking Mandarin and Cantonese.

They may experience more pain, stress, and struggle before they seek for psychological counselling and psychotherapy.
