Practice information:

Are you a member of a marginalized community (women, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, people with mental health issues, etc.)? You matter, and you deserve to experience the transformative possibilities of a strong therapeutic relationship. Through our work together, I have witnessed many clients recognize their resiliency, regain their power, and realize their potential.

My Experience

My passion is supporting people with marginalized identities and their allies. With intersecting marginalized identities myself, I have worked over 10 years with diverse populations with a variety of needs and goals. My career includes extensive mental health experience in both the non-profit and public health sectors.

I incorporate a variety of approaches in my work and prioritize being person-centered, strengths-based, and anti-oppressive. You are the expert in your own journey, and I can come alongside to provide support, encouragement, and hope.

My Story

I am a second-generation Hong Kong Canadian and settler of the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. I was born into a family of working class immigrants in which mental illness was a reality. I grew up in a small town that lacked diversity. As a result of this upbringing, I went through a significant period of denying my cultural identity as a way to fit in with my peers.

In my early adulthood, my cultural awareness and interest in this part of identity gradually grew. However, to this day, I often feel caught between two worlds and am bound by specific cultural expectations. This is further complicated by the fact that we live in a society where people of colour, particularly women of colour, do not have adequate representation and often encounter challenges in being valued or heard.

In my lifetime, I have had my own challenges with my mental health, which led me to work in the mental health field for both the non-profit sector and the public health care system. I believe there is a significant need for more women of colour to provide counselling, which led me to private practice work.
