I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I offer individual, couple/family counselling. I use emotion and solution-focused techniques in session. We will talk about and explore feelings, helping you completely process emotions, to better guide you in relationships and decision-making. I will also help you learn healthy relationship skills and other issues you may be struggling with ex: boundaries, assertiveness. We will explore what your personal triggers are and how they impact your life, enabling you to move forward. These concerns will be explored together in a safe, open dialogue in which you feel cared for.

I believe in honoring each individual's unique life journey. Our sessions will focus on exploring your strength in a non-judgmental and collaborative space. Instead of "fixing," I would like to work with you in "actualizing" your own truth as the starting point of your healing journey. I've been working at Toronto Western Hospital as a mental health clinician for 10+ years in both English and Mandarin. I also work with MVA, EHC, GP- and self-referred clients from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and religious beliefs in my private practice.

If you are involved with a pathological narcissist, you are likely feeling confused, uncertain and unsafe (emotionally and maybe physically) in this relationship. It is very difficult to heal on your own from the severe Cognitive Dissonance ("maybe I'm a narcissist/no, they're the narcissist") resulting from the pervasive, intermittent reward and punishment behaviours by the narcissist in this dangerous relationship. There is much on the internet about all of this, but what's there doesn't HEAL you. Work with someone who understands what you've experienced and has worked with 1000's of clients like you for over 8 years.
