So many of my clients come to therapy carrying a lot on their shoulders, trying to hold everything together for others while feeling overwhelmed inside. I became a therapist because I know how important it is to have a safe space where you don’t have to pretend you’re “fine.” I’m passionate about helping people move from surviving to actually feeling like they can breathe again and enjoy their lives.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free zone where you feel genuinely seen. Our conversations will be both meaningful and practical, grounded in compassion, informed by evidence-based approaches, and supported by tools you can carry into your daily life. We will collaborate in our work, go at a pace that feels comfortable for you and sometimes, we’ll even find space for a bit of humour along the way.

If you’re ready to feel less weighed down and more like yourself again, I’d love to connect. Let’s see if we’re a good fit.

Registered Social Worker at the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers (OCSWSSW), Master of Family Counselling and Family Education from the Chinese University of Hong Kong

Guided by the principle of “making the strange familiar and the familiar strange,” I am an experienced social worker who approaches case management through a systemic lens. With over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, grief, self-exploration, and recovery from Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA).

Specialties & Expertise • Top Specialties: Anxiety, Depression Borderline Personality, Relationships & Attachment, Grief and Loss, Spousal loss, Family Conflict, Self-esteem issues, Parenting, Relationship problem, Anger management, Emotional disturbance, • Expertise: Intergenerational Trauma, Mental Health, Insomnia, Self Harm, Suicidal Ideation, Substance Use, Interpersonal Relationships, Perfectionism, Special Educational Needs, Life Transition, Parent Coaching, Special needs, Autism Spectrum, ADHD, Chronic illness

In my work with patients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, family conflicts, parenting issues, MVAs, I provide both psychotherapy and case management services to meet each client’s complex needs, addressing emotional, physical, and social impacts to support their recovery journey. I also offer support to individuals navigating the difficult journey of grief, helping them process loss and find healing.

I also offer support to individuals navigating the difficult journey of grief and divorce, particularly through a child-focused approach in counseling. By prioritizing the well-being of children, I help families manage transitions, reduce conflict, and create a nurturing environment that fosters resilience and stability for young ones during times of change.

I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, respect, and non-judgment. Utilizing several interventions and modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy, Attachment Theories, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—I strive to create a safe space where clients can explore their inner strengths and foster resilience.

As an EMDR therapy-trained professional I am equipped to help individuals address past trauma and break free from toxic cycles, empowering them to live more fulfilling lives. If you are struggling with taking the first step, I invite you to give me a call for a free consultation. Let’s chat about where you are and what you need at this time in your life. Together, we can work toward lasting change and greater fulfillment.

Now on the path to becoming a psychotherapist, I am committed to combining my extensive experience with advanced therapeutic practices to support clients in transformative and impactful ways.

I am fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and maybe you’re not even sure where to begin. You might have a lot on your mind, or just a sense that something isn’t sitting right — and that’s okay. Imagine a place where there is someone that is dedicated to you for 50 minutes. Alongside their own training and their own experience their role is to help guide and provide different perspectives and package it in a way that you may easily understand. That is how I like to think about what therapy looks like.

In my previous experiences I have had the opportunity to work within inpatient addictions treatment centres, and at King’s Univeristy College. I have provided psycho-educational groups during my time at the addictions treatment center where I helped individuals learn to manage withdrawal symptoms, regulate emotions, and work on relationship skills.

In my own time I enjoy playing sports, playing with my partner’s cats and reading. I have been enjoying thrillers and fantasy books lately and will always take good recommendations. If you are curious as to who I am or taking that first step into exploring more about yourself then I invite you to book a free consultation call.

I believe that every person has the strength and will to achieve their desired outcomes. My role is to provide you with the tools, support, education, accountability, and environment to help you get there. For shorter-term treatment we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. For longer-term therapy, we will also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy and Self Psychology. Regardless of the approach, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust is the key.
