Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, like life is especially hard right now. You might be overwhelmed by current challenges, exhausted from past trauma, or anxious about the future. If you’re ready to focus on growth and mental well-being, I’m here to support you. With over 18 years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I’ve helped many through tough situations, including trauma across various stages of life. I offer individual, couple, and family sessions, each tailored to meet your unique needs as you face these challenges.
I have deep understanding on navigating life across cultures and intersectionality as an immigrant myself. As a therapist, I integrate therapy methods and practice in the anti-oppression, anti-racism framework with a strength-based focus.Through trauma-informed lens, I provide effective counselling in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way to support healing.
I am fluent in both English and Mandarin and can offer sessions in either language. By gently leading you to discover your inner voice, strength, and resilience, I will support you and hold a welcoming and safe space for you. For more information, please visit my website. And when you are ready, reach out and we can get started!
