I am non judgemental and culturally sensitive.
Besides providing social work services & counseling to English speaking clients, I would like to use my expertise to serve Chinese. It is very beneficial to have someone who knows your culture & language to listen and to talk to. Speaking the same language can help capture the subtle cultural meanings from our conversations & lead to a deeper understanding of your needs. I am also a Regulated Immigration Consultant and can provide advice on immigration matters.

I started my practice to create a space that is healing, safe, and accepting to help you become more resilient, empowered, and content. Life is often difficult, confusing, and disappointing, but you are much more than your bad days, bad months or bad years. I believe that healing comes from recognizing your true self, living authentically, and balancing acceptance and change. With consistency and commitment, it is possible to break out of patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I offer a judgment-free space where I aim to support you in living the life you want, with peace and conviction. Your goals for yourself are within reach.

Feeling overwhelmed these days is understandable – many of us are experiencing climate anxiety or eco-grief, and that makes relationship issues, personal losses, traumas, depression, or anxiety feel even harder to manage. My approach is trauma-informed and climate-informed and my clients tell me they appreciate my warmth and authenticity. I can help you reduce anxiety, move through depression and grief, heal trauma, restore relationships, and reclaim balance in mind, body, spirit and heart. My goal is to help you find lasting joy in work, family, friends, passions and interests, as well as ways to cope with our changing world.

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?

A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.

How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?

Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?

While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.

Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
