Grief can arise from various experiences, including the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, career changes, health challenges, or significant life transitions. It can also stem from ambiguous losses, such as the loss of a dream, unmet expectations, or the impact of collective trauma. Understanding the different types of grief allows us to address and process these emotions more effectively.

Emotionally Focused Therapy and Trauma informed practice are my main go-to in supporting clients healing journey; I also utilized Dialectical Behavioural Therapy to equip my clients different tools managing stress/ emotional distress.
You grew up with the “typical Asian parents” who were emotionally unavailable. Love and emotions were rarely expressed, leaving you unsure whether you were truly seen, understood, or valued. Or you’ve been in relationships that break you. You become hyper aware of anything that signals a threat to the relationship. When you try to express how you feel, nothing seems to change and you’re left feeling even more afraid and helpless. You’re not broken nor a bad person. And you should not handle this all by yourself. I’m here to help.

You’ve built a successful career, so why does it feel like you’re falling apart? You’re a driven executive/ professional/ high performer, but lately, the pressure feels relentless.

You crave real connection, clarity, and a way to break free from burnout, without letting anyone down. You constantly push yourself to your edge and feel alone, putting others first. You want to feel calm, present, and fulfilled at work and at home, but don’t know where to start.

I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Work, Inner Child Work, Shadow Work, Mindfulness & Dialectical Behavioural Therapy ( DBT).
Many times what's affecting us in the present moment can be from the past, such as cultural expectations, being a child of immigrants, family dynamics or early childhood/teenager experiences. We don't realize it, but we're carrying a lot of emotions, survival and coping mechanisms that leave us feeling heavy, drained and even lost. A lot of this can show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety and depression which affects relationships with those who matter to you. If you’re drawn to healing that explores the mind, body, soul and going beyond the surface level, we can explore these deeper layers together.

I integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices using a person-centred, humanistic approach.
Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else.

My clients often arrive feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling to trust their own voice or feel confident in who they are. Whether you are dealing with social pressure, family dynamics, dating, or the quiet weight of self-criticism, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
