Life can feel overwhelming, whether you’re balancing responsibilities, navigating cultural differences, or caring for family while trying to care for yourself. You don’t have to face it alone. As a counselling intern with 13+ years of teaching children and 30+ years in the arts, I bring creativity, patience, and understanding into the counselling room. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where children, women, and individuals facing life transitions can feel supported and heard. Together, we can build resilience and take meaningful steps toward healing and balance.
I support clients in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, integrating mindfulness, art-based approaches, and family systems perspectives. My background in teaching and the arts helps me connect with children and adults in creative ways, offering compassionate, culturally sensitive therapy that reduces stress and fosters growth.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also an act of courage. With compassion and respect for your unique story, I will walk alongside you and draw on both professional training and creative experience to support your journey. If you’re ready to begin, I would be honored to work with you.
