Family Therapy in Scarborough, ON

As an East Asian therapist who has personally overcome obstacles with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and childhood trauma, I understand you are going through tough times, and I have the skills and passion to assist you in getting through them. I am committed to helping you process your emotions and difficulties while fostering greater self-insight. I have experienced therapy myself to work through my own issues, and now I'm dedicated to helping you overcome yours.

I believe it's always possible to reconnect with our strengths, joys, values, and desires, even in times when we feel stuck: when it's particularly hard to see the meaning in our lives, when feelings of regret outweigh feelings of acceptance, when shame and anxiety hold us back from engaging with ourselves and our loved ones. In my work with you, I want to point out those sacred parts of yourself that might have been forgotten. I want to help you see the different paths you can take, and be alongside you as you choose and move forward.

Are you a parent looking for ways to help your child deal with their intense emotions like anger, hitting and self-regulation? Do you want your child to learn skills to express their emotions appropriately and better deal with family and friends? Do you feel that your child has good intentions but doesn’t know how to resolve conflicts without getting in trouble?

I love working with clients on their relationships! That is, their relationships with their partners, children or other family members, but most importantly, their relationship with themselves! Perhaps you're here because you need to recharge after a break-up, an argument, a traumatic incident, a loss, or a stressful-life transition. Perhaps you're here because you feel you have been running on empty for some time. Perhaps you're here because life is offering you two different paths & you're not sure which way to go. Perhaps you're here because you want to be proactive with regards to your mental wellness and your relationships.

Have you ever felt your mind tangled and chaotic? When emotions overwhelm, clear thinking becomes tough. I hope to create a warm and safe space with you collaboratively, where we can together be aware of and differentiate various emotions, untangle complexities in thoughts, and fulfill genuine needs.

Take a deep breath, you're finally here looking for the help you think you might need. Let's talk about the hustle of life. It's like being in a marathon, with the finish line constantly moving. Pressure comes from everywhere – pressures of society as we scroll through social media, family demands, work challenges, and that nagging voice in your head asking if you're enough. It's the constant effort of trying to overcome letdowns from others and ourselves. Sometimes, it can feel like you're an outsider in your own life, watching through a window as everyone else seems to have it all figured out.

Thank you for visiting my profile and reading my bio! Finding a therapist can be an exhausting task (how are you supposed to determine who is right based on a couple of paragraphs!?) so I will try my best to give you a picture of who I am and how I may be able to help in this short paragraph! I have experience in working with clients with diverse backgrounds experiencing various struggles such as, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal problems, and other mental health concerns. Some of my clients have come to therapy unsure of how to define the problem, but have just felt a general sense of dissatisfaction with life.

Our sessions are structured to address the root problem. With the lens from EMDR therapy and an AOP (anti-oppressive practice), we enter the memory network to reprocess the experiences that are hurting your current state of mind. I will provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. It's important to note that my scope of practice revolves around trauma, anxiety, depression, family stability, ADHD and ADD. I have obtained a Masters in Social Work and have experience supporting children, youth, adults and family units for 13 years.

Depression, anxiety? Coping with life at times can be heartbreaking for yourself or the ones that you love. Having someone to mentally walk with you through those times is a way to reconnect and return to that good place in life. The heartbreaks could be divorce, depression, grief, anxiety, separation from family. Over the course of our lives, we all experience emotional wounds, which hinders us from personal growth. Having a safe place to talk and express your emotions is what I provide. Here you gain self-understanding and self-awareness and be empowered to make changes to grow towards your desired outcome of your authentic self.

We can explore past trauma in order to connect your past experiences to your present-day functioning so that you can improve your overall wellbeing and live the life you desire.

At times, life can feel so overwhelming that we just wish for a way out of the chaos into stillness and peace. For adults who have grown up in an immigrant household, the feeling of overwhelm can be amplified by additional stressors. It is hard to try to navigate family, belonging, community, and figuring out who we are and who we want to be in what can seem like two separate worlds and identities. It is absolutely possible to find your way to happiness and inner peace and it’s helpful to have a trained professional with lived experience guide and support you through that journey.
