Therapist Directory

Bio: Hi, I’m Anne! I use all pronouns, and would describe myself as gender fluid. I offer holistic, trauma-informed counselling that is culturally aligned, anti-oppressive, and client led. I am proudly queer, sex work, and drug user friendly. I prioritize safety, choice, and trust, supporting people in ways that feel right for them as they work toward healing and resilience. My approach is collaborative, generalist-eclectic, and internationally feminist.

I’m a mixed race (Taiwanese and white) settler living in so called East “Vancouver”. My background is in harm reduction, mutual aid, outreach, group facilitation, and community organizing in “Vancouver’s” Downtown Eastside. Building community capacity is a great way to support collective well being, and I find this work rewarding and fulfilling on an individual level.

I believe that healing is political. Healing is deeply affected by social, economic, and power structures. Addressing trauma requires an understanding of systemic and systematic structures that can impact our lives. Through my on going work experiences, lived experiences, and education, I constantly strive to make healing a radical, liberating act of reclaiming agency, dignity, equity, and autonomy.
