Hi there, my name is Elaine, and I would be honoured to support you on your mental health journey. This might include, managing your emotions, exploring and feeling confident in your identity, and providing direction in times of change. As an active musician and therapist, I have a deep understanding of how music affects people in different ways. If you've ever felt like words are hard, this might be for you. In this safe, non-judgmental, and sometimes fun space, I am here to meet you where you are and listen with compassion and curiosity. I will also guide you through opportunities to get you closer to where you want to be.
My approach is humanistic and strengths-based. In our sessions, we may talk, sing, improvise, write, and listen to music. No previous musical training or experience necessary, just willing to do something different. I am Chinese-Canadian and an adult third-culture kid (TCK) who can help you navigate cultural nuances with humility and sensitivity.
If you’re ready to take that next step—whether it's to talk, make music, or just figure out what’s next—I’d love to hear from you. Email me or book a free consultation today. Thank you for stopping by!

I work with people who may struggle to verbalize their thoughts and feelings, and sometimes, it's not enough to just talk about it. We can use music as a bridge to explore and address what's hidden underneath.
