Maybe you are feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you have lost pieces of yourself. Maybe you are excited about becoming a parent but also grieving how much has changed. Or maybe your relationships feel strained and you are unsure how to bridge the gap. Whatever you are carrying, you do not have to hold it alone.
Hi, I’m Riley. I specialize in helping people through life transitions, especially becoming a new parents. I also enjoy working with individuals and couples navigating relationships.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

It is a natural part of life that we question our careers and ask ourselves why we do what we do. You may be feeling unfulfilled and purposeless with your career where it feels painful to stay where you are, but it also feels painful to deal with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety involved in thinking about what's next and how to transition your career. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor, I'm here to help you manage these emotions and make a strategic, informed decision on what career to pursue next. My approach combines psychotherapy with practical decision-making and action-planning.

The gestalt therapeutic process is a creative journey where the therapist’s support and presence invite you to explore what is most meaningful in your life, including what feels painful or difficult. I hope to support you to more fully trust and listen to your inner knowing, and to find more space to experiment with new approaches to what might feel like old or stuck patterns in your relationships and your engagement with the world.

Having the right therapist to talk to and collaborate with on your goals, challenges, and emotional turmoil can help put things into perspective and create a plan for success. It can be challenging to navigate the world in the face of oppression, disability, stigma, and other barriers to success. My therapy draws on inner strengths and authenticity to manage complex thoughts and emotions and increase feelings of empowerment. I emphasize meaning-making, the importance of self-efficacy in the healing process from cognitive, somatic, and social-constructivist perspectives.

Do you feel anxious, sad, burned out, or stuck in your thoughts—riding emotional highs and lows even though you appear “fine” on the outside?
You may be caught in cycles of overthinking, emotional turbulence, burnout, and relentless pressure to meet both internal and external expectations. Many high-functioning adults and students, especially those from immigrant, BIPOC, or Asian backgrounds—carry invisible burdens like cultural expectations, generational trauma, and the pressure to succeed. You are not alone! Therapy can help you explore these struggles in a safe, supportive space. I offer therapy in both English and Mandarin.

How to find hope? If you are feeling stuck, engaging in therapy can help you get moving again. You are seeking CHANGE. You feel stuck or you are sliding into habits that cause pain and suffering. Insecurity and conflict are things you are experiencing more than you want to. You may have turned to substances to numb the pain. It takes courage to seek support. Healing begins in the presence of someone who cares and tries to understand your journey. I can offer you that support.
