Hi there! I’m Marcus, a gay second-generation Chinese settler. My commitment to this work emerged from seeing how spiritual and cultural expectations can collide with queerness. and systems of power shape our sense of self.
In my counselling work, I’ve provided support to individuals who survived traumatic experiences, and offered care to queer, neurodiverse and BIPOC peoples seeking a place to feel seen and understood. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they make sense of the resilience they already have.
I work foundationally from a Person-Centered approach while drawing from IFS parts work, Somatic Awareness, and Narrative Therapy. I am also a Brainspotting practitioner, and we can utilize Brainspotting in the therapeutic space to help gently and rapidly process "sticky" feelings and emotions while anchoring focus on your therapeutic goals.
My therapeutic approach is not only trauma-informed and anti-oppressive, but also warm, and playful - welcoming humor and creativity into the space while working alongside you to build a space that can also hold the depth of healing that arises. If you feel like we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out through email!
