We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive, nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I see healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.

When you are facing challenges in your life, family, studies, work, relationships, adolescent growth; or when you are experiencing difficulties during your development, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and hindered from fully embracing your optimal life.

Life is not always easy. All of us at times experience emotional difficulty when things get rough. You don't have to face them alone. I am here to offer you a safe, respectful and non-judgmental place to explore what is most troubling you, such as: anxiety, depression, grief, or other symptoms that constrict your life. My goal is to help you become aware of new perspectives into the experiences that confuse or trouble you, and help you develop the strength to change and have a more control in your life.

Do you feel you have always been struggling with a wobbly self-esteem? Are you tired of second guessing yourself and feeling disappointed in yourself? Are you struggling to strive past the constraint of your earlier experience in life? Are you hoping to let go of some old patterns of coping that no longer support you?Are you determined to improve your relationships, especially the one with yourself? You wonder if there is a therapist who understands your vulnerability and supports you to brace them. And I am here to help.

In my clinical work, I conduct focused, short-term psychotherapy that are customized for each individual client's needs. Client-therapist collaboration is emphasized and a supportive therapeutic environment is provided. I favour the use of approaches which help clients to understand, control and integrate their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In my forensic work, I adopt a combined approach in which both clinical and actuarial methods are used for achieving accurate and thorough evaluation. Every attempt is made to integrate scientific findings with professional judgement in addressing psycho-legal issues.

You deserve an opportunity to heal and grow! Up and downs are normal in your life. You will experience a relational setting in which you will be in a safe and secure environment where you will be accepted and listened to with compassion and respect. You will be invited to explore and face the current challenges in your life. You will be encouraged to become more aware of the circumstances that have shaped your present life situation. You will find support to learn coping strategies to deal with and resolve the difficult issues you are facing.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist in Ontario and the UK. Taking a warm, person-centred approach, I first aim to get a good understanding of your situation, challenges and priorities before collaboratively developing a treatment plan together. Our sessions are a space for you to freely self-explore, work through difficult emotions and make progress toward your goals in therapy.

My passion is to walk along side with people during their journey towards healing and growth. I value each client as a unique individual, who deserves to be treated with compassion and respect. I believe that developing emotional maturity and gaining self-understanding are essential steps towards personal growth.Over the course of our lives, we all inevitably experienced some emotional wounds, which hinder us from personal growth. Counselling serves as a process to help us uncover those wounds and heal, and in the process, gain self-understanding and self-awareness, and be empowered to make changes towards holistic growth.

I work with people from all nations and cultures, and I work more with adults in my practice and with some Chinese when I also speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. Life is never smooth. From time to time, we need to seek help from others to face the challenges. As a professional psychotherapist, I am keen to journey with you through your life difficulties such as traumatic events, life changes, loss, and grief. I will help you to identify your own feelings, emotions, values, faith, and strength to face your life problems causing stress, anxiety or depression etc. Hopefully we work together to find meaning and transcend life changes.
