Gestalt Therapists in Toronto, ON
Do you do things you would rather not do or avoid things you should do? Are you frustrated because you put others ahead of you and avoid conflict at all costs, or are you angry and having trouble keeping it in check? Are you feeling alone or misunderstood? If any of the above apply to you, I can help. My process is to listen. And by coming to understand you, help you face the challenges that are preventing you from living life on your terms. Sometimes, it's even about helping you decide what those terms are.

There are not many places that are dedicated to learning and understanding yourself and how truly unique your experiences are. I think therapy is one of those places to have that opportunity, I aim to really get to know you and what your experiences are! Areas I work are in topics related to anxiety, stress, self-esteem, self-love, confidence, isolation, relationships, communication, motivation, 2SLGBTQ+ identities, negative racialized experiences, and depression. I believe in the power of self-exploration, in a space where you are validated, accepted, and listened to, you might surprise yourself on what you can take from here.

Life can feel overwhelming, like you’re constantly trying to keep up but never quite feeling at ease. Maybe you struggle with focus, motivation, or being present. You might feel disconnected—either from yourself or others—longing for deeper relationships but unsure how to get there. Perhaps self-doubt, overthinking, or a harsh inner critic keep you stuck. Or maybe life transitions have left you feeling lost and uncertain of your next step.
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly sees and understands you.

Navigating the complexities of life, career, and relationships can be overwhelming. I foster a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore more about experiences and emotions.

My specialty lies in providing support and guidance through life's complexities, particularly in navigating challenges. This may look like life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, feelings of being overwhelmed, or in general just having big emotions that you want to sort through.

But there is courage, strength, and possibility in every story!

Are you a Millennial or Gen Z feeling stuck navigating anxiety in your relationships? You might be facing challenges with modern dating, breakups, the complexities of separation or divorce, or feeling like an outsider in your own family, possibly due to emotionally immature parents or estrangement. Do overwhelming emotions or discomfort with vulnerability impact your connections? Do you feel drained, resentful, or unseen? Perhaps this has led to shame, guilt, or a deep sense of not being good enough. These aren't just surface issues; they impact your identity, and understanding these struggles is the first step towards growth.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHt), and an Analytically-Informed, Depth, and Somatic Psychotherapist. Guided by a reverence for the sacred process of self-discovery, I aim to create a space where healing unfolds like a tapestry, woven from threads of emotional experience, symbolic exploration, and the wisdom of the body. I believe that the body and soul are indivisible, and thus integrate somatic therapies and attachment theory into our sessions to restore the harmony between psyche and soma.

You might feel drained in the breakup, hurt that relationships are often not reciprocated, or struggle to trust that you're worthy of love. Sometimes you don't know what to do with the frustration and anger of having a limerance experience. You second-guess yourself constantly, questioning if you are asking “too much” or “not good enough” for the people around you. Whether the wound comes from childhood, identity-based harm, relationships, or systemic violence, it changes how you relate to the world and be in your own body. As a queer Asian therapist, I am here to walk this journey with you— to foster security and self-love.

Some of the most difficult and painful moments in our lives have the potential to be the most beautiful and meaningful. It could be that you are struggling with depression, easily overcome by stress and anxiety or experiencing difficulties in your personal/family relationships.
