I support adults, children (7+), caregivers, and families navigating trauma, health-related anxiety, workplace stress and burnout, caregiver strain, grief, disability, educational challenges, and complex life or medical transitions. I have a particular interest in early relational experiences, including infant attachment and the foundational role of caregiver-child connection in development. I also work with children with diverse needs such as ADHD and Autism, and I recognize how deeply children are influenced by their caregivers and environments.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents (12+) who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of overwhelming experiences, including childhood trauma, event trauma, motor vehicle accidents, and dissociative responses. Many of my clients feel disconnected from themselves, stuck in repeating patterns, or burdened by emotions they struggle to understand. As an immigrant who completed my Master's degree in Canada, I understand the challenges that immigrants and international students face. I offer my services in both English and Mandarin tuning in diverse culture.

Do you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating—anxiety that won’t settle, relationship conflict that keeps resurfacing, or the lingering effects of difficult experiences from the past?

I work with individuals and couples who want to understand the deeper roots of these struggles and make meaningful changes in their lives. With over 21 years of experience, I help clients recognize the patterns shaping their life experience.

It may have taken a while to get here, but you’re finally ready to seek support. Perhaps you’ve been caught in a cycle of constant stress followed by periods of burnout or collapse. You may have noticed anger outbursts, emotional distance, or habits that once provided relief are no longer enough. This may have even taken a toll on your closest relationships. You’ve accomplished a great deal, but it has come at a high cost and you may be feeling it now. Therapy can offer a way to make sense of this with care and perspective.

Relationships and connections with others are an essential part of life. When those relationships cause us the most distress, where we do not feel emotionally safe nor loved without condition, we begin to question ourselves. We develop an amazing ability to categorize each problem and make ourselves believe that whatever is happening is not affecting us. When this coping strategy is applied, the body’s distress signals get disconnected from the mind.

Whether you’re navigating a late‑in‑life ADHD or Autism discovery, or you’re a parent overwhelmed by complex family cycles, you’re likely here because you feel misunderstood.

There is often a gap between the person you want to be and the person your family expects you to be. It can feel overwhelming. You carry the hopes and burdens of parents and grandparents while also trying to survive the trauma of your upbringing. You may feel isolated from loved ones because your culture doesn’t recognize mental health. You may feel both guilt and gratitude for the sacrifices your family made, and now there’s a constant weight behind every decision as you wonder whether you’ve done enough to repay them.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.

Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
