Therapists in M4C

I identify as a cis-gender, racialized Asian woman whose approach embraces a wholistic, reflective, equity-seeking, anti-oppressive/anti-racist decolonized lens. It's been an honour to be welcomed into many diverse communities through 20+ years in education, support and case management with racialized communities, gender diverse individuals, Indigenous peoples, people living with HIV/AIDS, newcomer populations, people who use substances, as well as sexual trauma survivors. The evolution of my practice includes a metaphysical component that acknowledges the interplay of mind/body/spirit

Hot take: Everyone can benefit from therapy. I spent years of my life wanting to hide my feelings from the people around me because of the stigma surrounding mental health—particularly as a second-generation Chinese Canadian woman. Once I began to accept these feelings and embrace them as part of the human experience, I was able to embark on a (life-long) journey of healing. When I discovered firsthand how transformative therapy can be, I realized I wanted to work with other individuals in assisting them with their journeys.

Hi there! Have you recently been diagnosed with ADHD/ADD or suspect you may have it? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or frustrated? Do you feel behind in life or at work? Do you struggle to complete tasks or maintain a routine? ADHD (and co-occurring mental health challenges) can impact your ability to engage fully in various areas of your life. In my role, I work with you to figure out what is preventing you from living the life you want, while we work together to figure out how to overcome those barriers. Occupational therapy can help bridge the gap between your current situation and where you want to be.
