Therapist Directory

Bio: Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you have made it here, finding a therapist can be such a difficult first step. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over thirteen years of experience in the field. I am a second generation Chinese Canadian, with lived experience as a survivor of sexual assault. My experience has led me to have extensive experience working with individuals facing trauma, specifically with survivors of sexual assault and survivors of intimate partner violence. Through working in these areas I also have gained experience with individuals facing self esteem issues, anxiety, depression and life transitions. I believe in a collaborative approach, starting where you’re ready to start. My stance is to empower you to take steps to grow and heal. I create a safe and supportive space where we can work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship to work towards your therapeutic goals. Areas I can support you can include: – Navigating ways to regulate and manage immediate symptoms following a traumatic event. – Empowerment to regain control and confidence in your life following a trauma. – Education to help you recognize normal human responses following traumatic events. – Exploring how previous experiences have impacted your life and support with healing and moving forward from these experiences. – Navigating ways to rewire your brain from reaching for learned responses that no longer serve you. My style is very easy going and gentle, with a focus on empowerment, building strengths and building a safe, therapeutic space. Sessions with me can range from venting, to a good cry, to laughing together, to collaborating on the best ways to help you grow and thrive. I use a mix of different therapeutic modalities and I truly believe that there is no one approach that works for everyone. I will pull from different tools and modalities including psychoeducation, mindfulness based therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy and Attachment Theory. I am currently accepting new clients, please feel free to book a free 20 minute meet and greet session with me. I’m looking forward to meeting with you!
