Therapists in M5C
We all have our own beautiful, messy but ultimately unique stories. Who we are, and how we present ourselves to the world and the people around us, are defined by our narratives. Sometimes the challenge is that we may not recognize the power in other narratives. Together, we can create space to address, racial and/or gender identity, relationship patterns, transition periods, sexuality and any issues impacting you and your journey. I am passionate about hearing your story and providing a safe, brave and judgement-free space, to build on your core values and strengths to discover opportunities for growth and healing.

I am naturally drawn to a Solution Focused approach; however, I utilize interventions from several different modalities and maintain an overall humanistic approach to working with clients. I work with clients being challenged by anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in their daily lives. I believe that our personal experiences impact the way we view the world, and our emotions play a key role in our behaviour and choices.

I understand that asking for support can be a challenging, yet a brave first step. It isn’t easy to have the courage to say that you need support and I welcome you here. I bring to you experience working in a variety of fields, from mental health, addictions, social relationships, and palliative care. In my sessions, I work from a trauma informed, anti-oppressive analysis, appreciating that trauma can be the basis of many challenges individuals may face. My practice is structured with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational and solution focused interventions.

I specialize in art therapy, and am fluent in both Mandarin（提供中文服務）and English–sessions can be provided in both languages. Through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, client-centered approach, I support individuals navigating relationships, trauma, marginalization, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-discovery, and other therapeutic goals. I believe the therapeutic process is non-linear and there is no one approach or modality for all since we all have unique stories. I walk alongside clients to help find what best suits them while considering their strengths, needs, and goals.

I approach therapy with curiosity, a collaborative mindset, and respect for the knowledge that you hold about yourself and your life. I work with people facing challenges associated with life transitions, grief, neurodivergence, and mental health and wellbeing. I meet with clients of all ages, and I particularly specialize in working with youth. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am pursuing a PhD in social work where my research focuses on how youth mental health and the climate crisis intersect. I support young people experiencing eco-anxiety, depression, fear about the future, and concern for the environment.
