We’ve heard “life is full of ups and downs”, but have you ever thought to yourself “why does it have to feel so hard”? Maybe a new life transition, interpersonal struggles or trying to balance all of life’s stressors is causing you to feel stuck, preoccupied with worry or overwhelmed. Worry due to relationship struggles, anxiety, loss or feeling as though you aren’t meeting expectations can be difficult, but you do not have to hold the weight alone. Allow me to help support your process of healing wounds, exploring thoughts, identifying patterns and strengthen your capacity to cope.

Accepting New Clients (April 2025): You're a highly sensitive person who people-pleases, has a hard time setting boundaries, and struggles to regulate big emotions.

You need somebody to help you actually PROCESS what’s going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and (lovingly) call you on your shit

If you’ve ever felt unseen, stretched thin, or silenced beneath the weight of everyone else's needs—know this: you’re not alone. You’re responding to a world that often asks women to carry more than their share. Your feelings are real. And they matter. So many women navigate the world quietly carrying the effects of relational trauma, caregiving overload, and unresolved generational wounds. It's exhausting trying to keep it all together when what you really need is space to unravel, understand, and rebuild on your own terms.

Hi, I’m Wenyu, and I’m here to create a compassionate and supportive space where we can face life’s challenges together. I understand individuals can feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, stress, relationships, navigating academic and personal pressures, or managing life transitions. Whether you are an adolescent, adult, parent, or new mother, you may be seeking clarity, emotional balance, or a deeper sense of self. It’s natural to feel stuck, uncertain, or exhausted from carrying the load alone. You want to feel understood, regain your confidence, and make meaningful progress toward your goals.

My greatest passion as a Clinician is to show how there is uniqueness and restoration in one's story, one's pain and collection of struggles.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

You're in your 20s or 30s.
