We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive, nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I understand healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.
Currently, my areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, cultural identities, adjustment difficulty, and past and ongoing trauma. My therapeutic modalities include: Mindfulness-based Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am fluent in English and Mandarin, with some proficiency in Cantonese. I offer a 15-minute+ free consultation, so please feel free to reach out and tell me your story!
