Hi! My name is Claire and I support youth and adults who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed; and seeking clarity and support. I am a Canadian Asian therapist, also a mom of 3, I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centred approach, to provide a safe and compassionate space to explore your situation, story, identify barriers, and find a path forward that honors your goals, cultural roots and perspectives.
I hold a Bachelor in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies, and I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work (Clinical Specialization) from the University of Calgary. I am in good standing with Alberta College of Social Workers and I am authorized to perform Restricted Psychosocial Interventions. 提供中英文服務 Book a free 15-min consult!
My goal is to offer a transparent space where you can sit with difficult emotions, talk openly, and process what’s weighing on you. Together, we can work through those in-between moments in life (what I call the “Liminal Space”) so you can understand yourself more deeply and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and healthier coping strategies.
