Practice Information

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and in those moments, being truly seen and heard matters most. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, a sense of meaninglessness, or a challenge unique to your journey, I look forward to supporting you in the healing process and helping you overcome obstacles.

My name is Jack, and I specialize in helping you build healthier relationships with yourself and others by equipping you with the skills to break free from what’s holding you back, so you can move towards a more fulfilling life.

I’m a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Social Work from City University of Hong Kong. With years of clinical experience supporting diverse populations in Canada and Hong Kong, I have worked with individuals facing relationship challenges, mental health and addiction concerns, stress management difficulties, life transitions, and chronic illness. In addition to private practice, I also work as a medical social worker, assisting individuals and their caregivers in adapting to life with disabilities.

My approach is rooted in humanistic, experiential, attachment-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed practices. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my primary treatment model while also integrating elements of other modalities that suit your needs. Simply put, I see you as a whole person with strengths and autonomy, and I work collaboratively with you to create transformative in-session experiences that lead to positive change. My goal is to provide a safe, non-pathologizing environment where your needs, readiness, and autonomy are respected.

In therapy, we may work on:

  • Unpacking the root causes of your challenges
  • Making sense of your responses—behaviors, emotions, and thoughts
  • Identifying and breaking free from negative coping cycles
  • Regulating intense emotions
  • Regaining a sense of control when life feels overwhelming
  • Cultivating self-compassion
  • Realigning your life with your goals and values
  • Strengthening your relationships with yourself and others

My counselling style is highly empathetic and approachable, yet also active, practical, and goal-oriented. I tailor sessions to your unique inner experience, ensuring that our work together is both meaningful and effective. I invite you to reach out to me for a free consultation to learn more.
