| 中文 Do you struggle with self-blame, fear of judgment, or saying no? Are you taking on too much responsibility or feeling unproductive? Many of my clients like you feel pressured to meet high expectations and avoid mistakes—not just from perfectionism, but from a fear of letting others down. They may internalize criticism and ruminate on perceived faults or 'failures,' which fuels a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt. For some, this stems from past experiences where expressing needs wasn’t encouraged, or they were told they were 'wrong' for how they felt. You may feel unseen, or not enough, which can drain energy and block self-care.
I’m here to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore these patterns, work through challenges, and help you reconnect with your true self. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I especially support BIPOC individuals, women, young adults, and immigrants in personal growth, healing, and self-worth.
Born in Taiwan and moving to Canada as an international student, I've faced loss, health challenges, and cultural adjustments, helping me resonate deeply with others’ pain and lead clients in meaningful sessions. I aim to guide you toward a fulfilling life. I’ve witnessed many powerful transformations in my work and look forward to supporting you.
