It is okay to feel sad, frustrated, anxious, angry, or lost. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human. Whatever you are facing, I am here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share freely.
I acquired a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto with a specialization in health and mental health. I have years of experience supporting youth and adults with mental health challenges and difficult life transitions across school and hospital settings from a person-centered, culturally sensitive approach.
I work with young people and parents to cope with anxiety, depression, learning disabilities (dyslexia, autism, and ADHD), emotional dysregulation, grief and bereavement, trauma, immigration adjustment, and chronic illnesses. With the belief that everyone’s healing journey is unique, I take the time to understand your lived experience and pursue a collaborative alliance where you feel validated and empowered. I also value authenticity and connection in relationships.
Received training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), I practice a holistic approach and tailor the therapy sessions that align with your worldviews and preferences. Services can be provided in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin. Let’s embark on this journey of transformation and empowerment together!
