About
Growing up as an East Asian immigrant woman has shaped my life and informed my 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. It is essential to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. We’ll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”
I have over 15 years of professional experience providing non-judgemental and compassionate counselling. I offer support for clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, caregiver burnout and trauma. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from various therapeutic methods to meet each client's unique needs.
I encourage you to read my blog on my website about my mental health journey and racism experiences. I offer a complimentary 15-minute telephone/video consultation to answer any questions you may have and to see if we might be a good fit together. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
