Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

I specialize in helping people who are facing challenges in their personal and professional lives.

You’ve probably spent a lot of time trying to fix things on your own, but maybe you’ve reached a point of exhaustion. You might be feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, & alone. You don’t know what else you can do to make yourself feel better, or how to keep up with the challenges you’re facing. Maybe there are cultural & social challenges that are making your situation worse. Maybe you're tired of running around in circles & have made the decision to see a counsellor so you don’t continue to feel like you’re “going crazy”.

Everyone desires to have a good quality of life and every family deserves to have harmony and respect. Have you been feeling sad, anxious, angry, or lonely?

The truth is you can overcome all these life challenges with professional help. Through counselling, you will be able to explore your options and learn strategies to eventually manage your problems on your own.

"Metanoia" is a Greek word that means "A Change of Mind". The change happens when we realize the inhibited faulty beliefs that could be the reason for lack of self-confidence, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, eating problems, marital problems, or the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. We all feel broken when hope is lost and desires die. While suffering is pervasive, and though nothing separate us from pain, however, talking and sharing with a compassionate and a truly helpful person makes a difference. I will join you the journey of changing your mind, heart, and self. "Be Transformed By The Renewal Of Your Mind."

I understand there are a lot of psychological and interpersonal needs of the people living in the Great Toronto Area, including Markham, Richmond Hill and others. I especially want to serve the population speaking Mandarin and Cantonese. Their tradition is keeping every conflict and stress inside so that they may miss the early chance to receive professional help for their mental health and their strong families. They may experience more pain, stress, and struggle before they seek for psychological counselling and psychotherapy. I understand their culture well and can provide better services to reach a healthier person, couple and family.
