Building trust and a solid therapeutic relationship is my top priority as a therapist, which is why I use a person-centered approach. I focus on collaborative goal-setting for structure while staying attentive to your immediate needs. My short-term therapy approach aims to help clients find significant relief from their concerns within 6-12 sessions. I apply evidence-based techniques and a culturally-responsive perspective, honoring your unique identities, experiences, and values. I specialize in working with Asian-Canadians on issues like anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, and career challenges.
Taking a person-centered approach means I’m dedicated to seeing you as your authentic self. I recognize that each client brings unique strengths and values to therapy. With over 10 years of mental health experience and specialized training in CBT and SFBT, I use a range of evidence-based techniques within a culturally-responsive framework.
Research shows that finding a therapist you connect with is key to positive outcomes. Feel free to reach out to schedule a consult and see if we’re a good fit for working together. (Please note I am currently not accepting new clients at this time)
