Now Accepting New Clients! You feel overwhelmed and burdened. You feel stuck and can't imagine continuing through life this way. You may have experienced childhood trauma, deal with self-harm, struggle to keep your emotions in check, have experienced adoption/foster care, spiritual abuse, or just feel unmotivated. You need a safe place to unburden yourself. You want greater peace and joy in your life. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we can untangle the messy web of life.
My approach is client-led, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual. I often use emotionally-focused individual therapy which is a more experiential approach to talk therapy. I also love other modalities like dialectical behaviour, cognitive behavioural, narrative, and solution-focused therapy depending on the client's needs.
As an Asian-Canadian mother of two adopted children with disabilities, I see resilience and inherent strengths in others. Please remember that circumstances and feelings change, and things can get better. I would be honoured to walk with you on your healing journey.
