As an East Asian therapist with roots in Hong Kong and raised in Toronto, I offer a unique perspective on cultural identity, family dynamics, and mental health challenges. My journey enhances my understanding of these issues within our communities. Therapy is a transformative journey where we build self-awareness and work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. I understand the importance of finding the right therapist. We’ll be a good fit if you’re motivated, self-reflective, and ready to tackle the challenges of “figuring it all out.”
I have over 15 years of experience providing compassionate and non-judgmental counselling. I focus on helping individuals with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief, caregiver burnout, and intergenerational trauma. My approach uses various therapeutic techniques to deliver personalized care that meets your specific needs.
Finding the right therapist can be challenging, but you’re not alone in this process. I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation, allowing you to ask questions and determine if we’re a good fit.
