Therapists in M5B
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

You’ve been carrying experiences that shaped you in ways no one else could see. When you tried to open up, you were dismissed or misunderstood, so you learned to stay quiet. But the weight hasn’t gone away, it’s only grown heavier. Maybe you feel on edge, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to handle what rises up. You’ve fought hard to keep going, yet part of you still feels trapped—longing for relief, for peace, for a way to finally move forward. You may be running out of ways to cope, wanting change yet not knowing where to begin.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed and hopeless about how to go about getting help? My aim as a therapist is to help you relate better to yourself, and create understanding and new behaviors that lead to the change you want to see. I have expertise in supporting individuals who want to heal from trauma (developmental, PTSD), navigate their anxiety (general anxiety, OCD, social anxiety) and move through depression. Understanding how past events have shaped us, and identifying the obstacles that get in the way of the changes we want to see in our lives can help us immensely.

It takes courage to be here, to even consider reaching out, that vulnerability is the first step toward healing. Maybe you’ve been carrying painful experiences alone, or you feel stuck in patterns you can’t quite name. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel seen, and begin to make sense of what weighs on you. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your story is honoured. Together we’ll build insight, process painful experiences, and discover new ways of being that feel more aligned and freeing.

Growing up between cultures and family expectations can leave you feeling like you don’t fully belong anywhere. Maybe you had parents who were strict or emotionally distant, and you learned to silence your own needs. As adults, you may find it hard to speak up or stay connected to your emotions, especially while navigating loneliness, burnout, heartbreak, or grief.
Many of the clients I work with are people of colour or children of immigrants who know what it’s like to carry unspoken family trauma. They come to therapy feeling anxious, lonely, and unsure of how to build healthy relationships.

Anxiety can paralyze us. Strong emotions can turn our lives upside down. One sentence expressed in a moment of anger can lead to many moments of pain. Being human has never been an easy experience. In the context of COVID, war, and financial hardship, being human has become exceedingly difficult for many. In our attempts to move forward, many of us rely on strategies we think ought to work, but in fact make things more complicated for us. In the midst of strong emotions, we try to avoid the situations and people that lead us to these experiences.

I am a registered psychotherapist and offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I hold a PhD in Sociology, which gives me a particular appreciation for how psychological and relational difficulties are shaped by life experiences and broader social conditions. I see therapy as a unique conversation involving me listening with a non-judgmental curiosity to help you similarly listen to yourself. This approach enables us to explore the experiences and difficulties that bring you to therapy, whether that be a specific crisis, a period of transition, feelings of "stuckness," relational patterns, emotions that trouble you, or an interest in personal growth.
