Therapists in L6C

Everyone desires to have a good quality of life and every family deserves to have harmony and respect. Have you been feeling sad, anxious, angry, or lonely? Are you tired of dealing with ongoing family conflict? Would you like to enhance your marriage? Are you worried about your kid acting out, having emotional or substance use issues, or even being suicidal? No matter what your concerns are, there is always HOPE! The truth is you can overcome all these life challenges with professional help. Through counselling, you will be able to explore your options and learn strategies to eventually manage your problems on your own.

Oftentimes, life presents us with challenges and obstacles that no one has ever prepared us for. The most important thing is that you're here because you have the strength to recognize when you need help. Feeling constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, worried, or hopeless can prevent you from becoming the person you want to be. It can feel like you’re constantly carrying a weight on your shoulders that you just can't shake no matter how hard you try alone. Together, we can work on unloading that weight and learning to cope. Working on your mental health is one of the most important ways to pave your way to a happier and healthier life.

My ideal client struggles with anxiety, addiction or depression. Their goal is to be rehabilitated into a healthy state at a pace that is both comfortable for them as a client and I as a therapist. They want to be able to achieve their personal goals and put them in a state of restoration. `

I am a registered Social Worker and have been working for children, adults and families for over 13 years. We can see that many people are having anxiety and depression nowadays. Some of them are even younger children. Children nowadays may have different stressors and feel not easy at school or at home. Some children may also be struggled with developmental needs, such as ADHD and ASD. They need someone who have specific training and experience in those areas to help them.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

In life, we all confront challenging trials. Seeking help from a therapist is often a path less traveled, yet holds the potential for an invaluable expedition into emotional support, self-exploration, insight, and self-growth. With 19 years of experience, I've had the privilege of assisting my clients through their unique journeys in navigating stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, parent-child interactions, grief, trauma, and self-concept. Fluent in both Mandarin and English, and rooted in an Asian cultural background as an immigrant, I bring a unique perspective that resonates with many clients.

We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive, nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I see healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.

Life's stressors can add up and become overwhelming for anyone. Dealing with those uncomfortable feelings of anxiety, stress, and overwhelm can push us away from who we are and distance ourselves from who we aspire to be. Taking that step to find a professional that fits your needs is an important one in your journey to reclaim your inner peace. Just like we should engage in regular exercise to keep our physical bodies healthy, it is vital to give your mind that same level of care and attention. Together, we can focus on making your mental health a top priority and progressively moving towards a better place.

Sleepless? Irritable? Constantly tired? If you've been struggling with poor sleep for more than a month, it's time to get it checked out. Poor sleep contributes to all sorts of daytime challenges, including increased stress at work and in your relationships. Or... is it chronic stress from work/school/family that's contributing to sleep problems? You might be on autopilot so much that it's hard to evaluate and problem solve. You resort to old reaction habits that aren't really effective anymore.
