Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in M6K

Are you a helping professional and finding it increasingly challenging to emotionally connect and show up for yourself & loved ones, as well as for your patients & coworkers? Perhaps your family & friends say “you’re just not the same, you’re not like yourself”, as you have become withdrawn, irritable, angry or even aggressive. Do you find that what used to be a rewarding work experience is becoming draining, depleting, and overwhelming? If you have aches and pains, startle easily, or find it hard to concentrate and sleep, you might be wondering, why is this happening and what can I do to overcome this? I'm so glad you're here!

Impacted by excessive Distress, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Relationship Issues, Stress, Anger, Depression, Sleep discomfort, PTSD, or Work-Related Issues? Are you feeling stressed out, burnt out & overwhelmed because you overthink & suppress? Can't communicate safely and feel trapped? Scared of confrontation & choose avoidance? The built-up emotions, cultural or family beliefs, identity issues, or indecisiveness causing chaos for you? How about trusting yourself? Has it turned into self-doubt & self-sabotage? I understand the emotional confusion, and for that reason, I hold a non-judgmental, private, and safe space for you.

If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, harassment) it's likely you noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that there was something you should have done to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and people as untrustworthy. You're likely on edge, hypervigilant and feel out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are difficult, you feel haunted by your memories, sex and intimacy aren't as they used to be, and it feels like nothing you've tried works. This is trauma.

Do you struggle with overthinking or negative self talk? Do you feel anxious in social situations, during conflict, or have difficulties expressing your needs? My approach to therapy is not only helping you cope with your struggles, but also work towards resolving them and strengthening your relationships with others. I believe that you have the inner workings to heal and live a meaningful life based on your values. It can be difficult to navigate the therapy world and I commend you on taking the first step in seeking help. If you have already started your healing journey I welcome the opportunity to collaborate.

My intention for you, as a therapist, is to be with you with compassion and skill to help you through life's difficult times and to help you reach your greater potential. We will work together, in a supportive environment, to increase resilience and wisdom so you can be better able to access, communicate and actualize your inner needs. Most of the clients I see are burdened by anxiety, depression, relationship problems and/or trauma. I have resources and strategies that address these all too common concerns.

If you are here, you might come from a long journey of unsuccessful attempts to solve problems or situations and you don’t know what else you can do. Or maybe you have been struggling with complicated emotions that you find difficult to face. If that's the case, sometimes looking for help is the first step towards feeling better. I want you to feel welcomed and supported. Our work together will focus on identifying and defining your problems and needs and finding a way out. I will help you find a sense of self-determination and well-being according to what is really meaningful for you.

Are you tired of CBT and Behaviour based interventions? Are you seeking to become the best version of yourself? Are you yearning for a deeper MIND-BODY connection? Do you like visualizing, meditating and connecting to nature? Are you open to making small incremental changes naturally, as opposed to forcing, fixing and constantly managing unwanted feelings forever? I am the RIGHT therapist for you if you are looking forward to freeing yourself from negative thoughts and emotions, by Embodying the Power of SELF-LOVE into your Being.

When getting out of bed in the morning feels challenging, I aim to hear your story and understand the root source of your shadows.

As a 1.5 gen Chinese Canadian, who grew up in an Asian immigrant family household, it has shaped and informed my life and practice in many ways. Therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience. I will work with you to develop a deep personal awareness and support you on the path toward healing, learning and growing.

People who benefit from DBT often struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder, suicidal thoughts or suicidal behaviour, self-harm, intense negative emotions, impulsive behaviours, substance abuse, anger management, relationship difficulties, chronic feelings of emptiness, and eating disorders, among other possible problems. Our team is dedicated to helping clients who struggle with their emotions to achieve less suffering and greater peace, and to build the lives they want to live.

I believe therapy should be practical and actionable to help you get the best results and achieve positive lasting change as quickly as possible. As a client-centered therapist, I work collaboratively and offer an individualized approach to meet clients where they're at. My work is inspired by the science of interpersonal neurobiology, thus I provide education about human behaviour and brain functioning to help clients make sense of their difficulties and see their challenges from a normalizing view. Many clients find this information to be helpful, hopeful, and empowering, as it gives us a roadmap for resolving their issues.

I would like to invite you into a non-judgmental, nurturing, and anti-oppressive space, where we can work together to address the challenges in your life. Sometimes life can bring hardship and unexpected events, which can produce negative feelings and emotions. Some of these challenges require less support to process and work through, while others may take longer and require more frequent support to overcome. As your therapist, my goal is to understand you, your needs, and guide you to cope with or overcome the difficulties interfering with your everyday life.

If you are looking for support reducing distress, improving mood and working on emotion regulation, and/or finding more meaning in your life, I am here to support you on your journey. If you are suffering with anxiety, depression, trauma, workplace or relationship issues, life transitions, or interested in self-exploration, you deserve a warm and supportive environment to grow. We would work collaboratively to assess current concerns, identify your unique goals for therapy, and tailor an individualized approach to help you reach your goals through either short- or long-term support.

In my work as a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I work to create a space that is thoughtful, warm and connected. Together we’ll dig deep to explore underlying thoughts, feelings and behaviours to better learn what’s going on, where you might be getting stuck and pathways to move forward. I aim to help you live with a greater sense of authenticity, ease and meaning. I bring a relational, trauma-informed and attachment-based lens to my work.

Perhaps you are experiencing some inner conflicts that are keeping you stuck? Or previous coping strategies are no longer serving you? Or maybe something is off that you can’t seem to name? Through exploring your thoughts, feelings and body sensations we can see what patterns and ways of being you would like to keep, let go of, (re) discover and grow. Using compassion and humour, we’ll work together to understand your reactions and how to work towards chosen responses to help navigate you to a different place.

I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, low self-worth, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring past relationships, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance, to name a few things. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.
