Do you struggle with a loss of sense of self, inner conflict, or feelings of shame? Are unresolved symptoms of trauma, stress, depression, or anxiety preventing you from moving forward and living the fulfilling life you deserve? Do relationships and daily life feel harder than they should be? You're not alone, and seeking support is a courageous step.

As a mostly able-bodied cis-het female settler of 2nd-generation Hong Kong Chinese descent with ADHD, I bring lived experience and cultural sensitivity to my trauma-informed practice. I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating intersecting identities, cultural expectations, and neurodivergence. Based in Greater Vancouver, I specialize in helping individuals heal from past wounds, overcome emotional barriers, and reconnect with their authentic selves in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

I take a holistic, nervous system-focused approach to therapy, working toward a deep understanding of your body's unique patterns. By targeting the root causes of emotional and physical distress, we aim for permanent resolution rather than temporary relief. With an attachment-focused framework, we’ll also explore your relationships and relational patterns to foster healing, strengthen self-compassion, and help you thrive.

If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery, I invite you to schedule a free consultation. Let’s work together to help you overcome the challenges holding you back and create a life filled with meaning and connection.
