Bio: I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I have over a decade of experience in the health and wellness field as an acupuncturist, yoga teacher, crisis line volunteer, and craniosacral therapist. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and identities. I am keen to support clients from all backgrounds, especially those who identify as Asian and, more broadly, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour). I use somatically oriented therapies with an emotionally focused and attachment-based lens in sessions. Over the years, I have helped clients dealing with many complex lived experiences, including anxiety, depression, personal and collective grief, loss, fertility issues, challenging family dynamics, low self-esteem and self-worth and existential concerns. I have also supported people searching for a purpose in their lives. Other areas I have experience in include: – Family of origin issues – Depression, Anxiety and feeling Overwhelmed – Relationship breakdown – Loneliness and social isolation – Climate and ecological grief – Spiritual bereftness and more… I have studied directly with Dr. Diane Poole Heller, Patti Elledge, Sue Johnson, Deb Dana, Dr. Peter Levin, Stan Tatkin and other senior SE faculty. *Please note that I can only see clients who reside in Canada.
