I understand that vulnerability in therapy can be new and intimidating work for some of us. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental and comforting environment for those from various backgrounds. My primary focus is centred on supporting young adults struggling with transitional periods, anxiety/depression and individuals who may struggle with intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

Are you struggling with anxious thoughts that consume your daily life and affect your sense of self? Maybe you are navigating relationship issues or a breakup that feels difficult to manage.

Are you someone who experiences anxiety or panic? I know the feeling! I am a certified anxiety-informed therapist and most often support individuals experiencing generalized and social anxiety. My goal is to help you gain clarity and a new perspective in the areas of your life that are causing you discomfort. I will help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, work through your struggles, and create a path for you to re-gain balance and contentment in your life. While providing you with a safe, supportive, and integrative counselling approach, I will guide you through your past and present, and individual strengths.

I believe that we are ALL survivors of trauma. When we go through a traumatic experience, whether it's small or big, a part of us remains stuck in the experience. We hold onto unintegrated emotions and negative beliefs about ourselves. As a result, we tend to attract and get triggered by situations that remind us of these difficult experiences - until we are able to heal. Through various techniques, most notably EMDR, we can work with these unintegrated parts of the self to desensitize and reprocess these experiences and memories. The client can be freed of these patterns and stories and achieve their therapeutic goals.

As a therapist who has personally overcome anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and low self-esteem, I understand the struggles that you may face and am uniquely qualified to help you overcome your own challenges. I am committed to helping you develop the skills and strategies you need to live a happier, more fulfilling life. I utilized therapy to help myself overcome my issues, now I work to help you overcome yours.

Do you ever feel like you are your own worst critic? Do you have trouble ‘turning off’ the negative thoughts in your head? Or do you spend too much time worrying about the future or dwelling in the past? I work with adults who are experiencing low self-esteem, self-criticism, and anxiety. Putting the brakes on your busy life and slowing down to look inwards can help you from seeking distractions or unhealthy habits when feeling unwell. It takes courage to ask for help, explore meaningful questions, and demonstrate self-love. The way to self-love can have different meanings for each of us, depending on our life experience.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed with life? Do you find yourself feeling burnout always striving for perfection? Do you notice your inner critic taking over in moments where it feels like nothing is going right? My great passion is helping clients develop self-compassion while improving their ability to cope with daily stressors.

Are you experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, or feelings of low self-esteem? Are you having trouble navigating your way through the loss of a loved one, a challenging relationship, or simply struggling to find meaning in your life? Many of us are knocked backwards by negative events that seem to unearth past hurts and make navigating our present and future more difficult. There are times when we need support and encouragement from outside of ourselves to help us navigate this inner world and push ourselves forward in our lives.

As a 1.5 gen Chinese Canadian, who grew up in an Asian immigrant family household, it has shaped and informed my life and practice in many ways. Therapy can be a transformative and empowering experience. I will work with you to develop a deep personal awareness and support you on the path toward healing, learning and growing. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is essential. We'll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”

Are you tired of feeling held back by self-criticism, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or anxiety? Are you frequently overthinking, worried, or emotionally exhausted? You deserve to live a more fulfilling life free from these obstacles. You have the power to take control and heal, and it starts by facing your pain head-on. With my expertise as a therapist specializing in helping individuals like yourself, I can guide you towards a new approach to managing your emotions and finding peace within yourself.

Are there certain areas of your life where you feel stuck? Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Do you struggle with your body image and self-esteem?

I can support you in developing strategies to treat the symptoms of these issues in the short term, and work with you to identify and address the root causes in the long term.

I help people reclaim their truest, most authentic selves. I work with people with: mental health issues/ mental illness, sex and intimacy struggles, lack of boundaries, trauma, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem and lack of self love, suicidal ideation, anger management, and more.
