Life can feel overwhelming at times.

I’m here to help. As a therapist, I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing difficulty with: relationships, healthy-communication, codependency, self-esteem concerns, self-worth, depression, grief/loss, anxiety, self-acceptance, burnout, life transitions, and parenting.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed with life? Do you find yourself feeling burnout always striving for perfection?

As an East Asian woman who grew up in an immigrant family household, it shaped and informed my life and practices 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 toward healing, learning and growing. Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is essential. We'll be a good fit if you are motivated, self-reflective and ready to tackle the daunting task of “figuring it all out.”

Taking the first step to beginning therapy can be intimidating and challenging. I understand this and want to make therapy as safe, comfortable and welcoming as possible for you. I believe in meeting my clients at whichever stage they are currently at in their mental health journey and working together to find a way to make therapy most useful to them. I work with my clients to help them overcome hardships relating to depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, burnout, and addictions.

My aim is to help clients better understand their habitual ways of being and coping, and to acquire new skills that enable them an improved ability to negotiate whatever issues trouble them and more generally the stresses of everyday life. I'm trained to provide evidence-based treatments using a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioural and dialectical behavioural therapies, as well as psychodynamic therapies.

Do you ever feel alone, unsafe, scared, or guilty? Even when things seem okay? It is incredibly common for one part of our brain to feel that things are wrong, even if we don’t fully understand why or know what to do about it. This is particularly true for those who have experienced trauma in their lives - whether that a specific traumatic event or the trauma of living in an oppressive, racist, transphobic, homophobic, and ableist system. In my personal and professional life as a queer, brown, and trauma-focused therapist, I have seen that therapy can help us process our past experiences and create a space for us to heal.

I specialize in supporting Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), empathizing with your challenges of navigating deep emotions, anxiety, low self-esteem, and perfectionism. As we work together, I can support you in building self-awareness of your sensitivities and coach you on how to implement different strategies that will help you manage the overwhelm, the emotional rollercoaster, and the need for things to feel “perfect.” In learning how to better manage all the challenges you face, you’ll also learn how to make more informed decisions, build better relationships with others and step outside of the high-functioning anxiety.

I work with adults and youth who experience depression, anxiety, work-related stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship conflict, loss, and grief. Knowing how challenging life can be, it is important that we have a safe community and people to assist us when sometimes we cannot manage our experiences alone. Thus, together within therapy, we will work as a team to explore present patterns and behaviours that result in feelings we wish to change and build a strong and compassionate belief of self, exploring new strategies and techniques along the way.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with stressors of life or find ourselves disconnected from our feelings. We struggle with self-esteem and are not sure how to become the person we want to be. At times we might feel like giving up on ourselves and our relationships. Pushing away your needs and not addressing your sense of self-respect can lead to long-term negative feelings such as anxiety, anger, or guilt.
