I see counselling as a healing space where you can slow down, understand yourself, and work through the challenges that are impacting your mental health. In therapy, I offer compassion, curiosity, and a calm, non-judgmental presence. My goal is to help you feel seen and supported so you can move toward the change, clarity, and growth you are seeking. I believe that strong relational support in counselling can be deeply healing and can make a meaningful difference in how you move through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

As a first-generation immigrant who moved from Taiwan to Canada in my teens, I have lived through exclusion, internalized racism, and struggles with belonging and identity. My own healing helped me understand the loudness of the inner critic and how often that voice is shaped by culture, family expectations, and broader social systems. Learning to respond to that voice with kindness changed how I relate to myself.
