As a first generation immigrant, Vivien understands how the complexities of living in between two or more cultural worlds can cause us to question ourselves and our boundaries, and diminish our values and wishes for the sake of others. I support individuals to understand themselves and their histories so that they can work toward goals of developing more fulfilling relationships, progressing academically and professionally, healing from complex trauma, and gaining a sense of balance and confidence as they navigate life in a complicated world.
I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in providing responsive care to adults, with a passion for supporting diverse communities, college students and early career professionals. I have supported individuals with general and social anxiety, depression, complex trauma, stress, life transitions, and decision making.
You are invited to enter a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental and collaborative space with Vivien to more clearly understand yourself and how personal experiences and societal contexts have shaped you as you embark on a journey of growth and healing.

Many clients I work with struggle with culture-related stress and trauma impacting their relationships with others and themselves. We initially explore current concerns and contexts leading up to these, and collaborate on a plan for addressing goals. Clients are welcome to try therapy on the short-term or longer term.
