Reality can bite, hard. I believe people can bite back - and learn to be nourished. The trouble is, we develop patterns of relating and being in the world where we get stuck, no matter how hard we try to adapt. With a lifetime of accumulated armour and coping strategies, some having become sources of stress rather than relief, we come to feel alienated, alone with difficulties, without hope for something better. Coming out of conditioned isolation and into meaningful contact with others is hard work, tremendously uncomfortable, yet profoundly liberating. Individual psychotherapy is one tool among many to help with that process.
In therapy with me, we create a space together to be with what’s on your mind and in your heart and body. We explore what's been too painful, too elusive, and too uncertain to share, and pay attention to body sensations as vital information. This improves your ability to make value-aligned choices, make sense of challenges you face, and simply feel better.
As a mixed-race Cantonese/French man raised in downtown Toronto, I resonate with the nuance and complexity of my clients' diverse experiences. I listen for how experience is shaped by understanding of ourselves, those around us, and our relations with dominant society. I look forward to offering you my service. My fee is set a 2.5% of gross monthly income.

I work with clients to open up space for self-acceptance and to embrace complexity. Labels and categories of experience can be useful and essential stepping stones, but a downside of labels is the tendency to reduce experience - our own or others' - such that we may miss a bigger picture of being human. I strive to stay curious about what may be present, beyond labels, in our work.
