My priority is to guide you towards personal growth by supporting you in clarifying your beliefs and values. This will allow you to discover your authentic self and live more fully. I believe that we all have the capacity to overcome our challenges and rewrite our stories. The healing journey allows you to develop increased awareness and insight around your experiences and equips you with tools to enable you to feel more confident. Through our collaboration and with practice, you can develop self-compassion and wholeness by becoming connected to your body and the sensations that live there. A simple analogy for our work could be cleaning the windshield so you can navigate your path with more ease and clarity - you won’t have to struggle to see the path ahead of you anymore.

When working with me, you can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion. It is my intention to develop a foundation of trust and security and an environment in which you can explore your inner world and feel more empowered. My practice is trauma and culture informed and I work with clients from all populations. My focus is on anxiety, depression, trauma, and the LGBTQ population. Using a somatic, humanistic, and strengths-based approach, I will guide you in accessing your determination, resiliency, and internal resources to navigate life’s challenges. It is likely that you’d like to start therapy but you’re not sure where to begin. My goal is to make therapy understandable and accessible to you. During our first few sessions, we will collaborate on your treatment plan and find approaches that work specifically for you. For some people, this may be a very structured approach to correct cognition and behaviour, and for others it may involve becoming attuned to your body.

My therapeutic style is warm, relational, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed. I adopt a collaborative and personalized practice to help clients identify and work towards meaningful goals, enhance self-understanding, highlight strengths, and learn strategies for improving their quality of life. All work is built upon trust, safety, and authenticity.

My approach is holistic and person-centered, integrating both evidence-based practices and a grounded, spiritual perspective to help people meet their unique needs and step into their higher selves. I draw from techniques in cognitive, humanistic, somatic, mindfulness-based, and strengths-based approaches. My goal is to help clients regulate both the mind and body, uncovering the resources and tools needed to explore one’s inner world, find clarity and wholeness, and feel more empowered in everyday life.

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I understand the challenges that come with growing up in a dysfunctional home, navigating toxic shame, and building meaningful relationships.

I work from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens and a person-centered approach, focusing on understanding the different parts of you — including those that feel stuck, protective, or unheard — in a way that feels safe and validating. I am pursuing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to further support my trauma-informed approach. I also integrate somatic- and mindfulness-based techniques into my work.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique journey. I aim to help you feel seen, heard, and supported as you build resilience, self-compassion, and a deeper connection with yourself and others. I also take a multicultural perspective, considering how intergenerational trauma, cultural identity, and family dynamics shape mental health and relationships.  I work especially well with people navigating trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and challenges around belonging or self-understanding. If any of this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a twenty-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit. I look forward to the possibility of walking alongside you on your journey.

I work with individuals who struggle feeling safe in their human experience. There might be an emotion, sensation, belief, or experience that carries an unbearable weight that over time we find ourselves wading in the waters of disconnection and defeat.

My work is rooted in the principles of humanistic existentialism, Buddhist psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, and anti-oppressive ideologies. I hold each client as the expert of their own lives, and I strive to meet them with unbridled curiosity, warmth, and respect. Across the exploration of the landscape of client lives, there is an ongoing focus on safety through my careful attunement to what emerges in the room on a moment-to-moment basis. My multidisciplinary and personalized approach is tethered to the recognition of the innate human capacity and drive for self-actualization. Together we will cultivate the resources available both within and outside of you – be it your passions, values, dreams, aspirations, culture, faith, community and more – to build a roadmap towards your therapeutic goals.

The therapeutic process is a deeply intimate one. It involves allowing ourselves in raw form to be seen, heard, and held with tenderness – including the parts we may have spent our lifetimes hiding from or denying. If you have any questions, let’s chat. I offer a twenty-minute virtual consultation that allows you determine if I am the right therapist for you.

If you’re trying to understand yourself more deeply, untangle old patterns, or loosen the weight of shame and expectations placed on you by others, therapy can be a space to gently explore all of that. My goal is to create a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental - where you can show up exactly as you are.

I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you as we explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you, keeping what supports you and gently reworking what no longer does. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we can shape the process in ways that feel right for you. Some days talking is enough. Other days, we might go for a walk, color, fidget, or bring in something creative to help you express yourself.

As someone who is neurodivergent, I deeply value flexibility, authenticity, and meeting people where they are. My work is primarily grounded in person-centred and narrative therapy, viewed through a queer-affirming and social justice lens - with a touch of humour, curiosity, and warmth along the way.

During our sessions I will always do everything I can to make sure that you are heard, understood and accepted. Together, we will work hard on making your life more meaningful, full of joy and good memories. I deeply admire people who find the courage to seek help. This is a sign of strength, not a weakness to me. I view them as heroes, who fight to make their lives better. In my counselling practice I have worked with anxiety, loneliness, depression, self-esteem, post-traumatic growth, trauma, relationship issues, attachment issues, expat-life challenges, career coaching and parenting challenges.

My therapeutic approach is influenced mainly by dynamic psychotherapy and attachment-based theories. I try to integrate a person-centered, trauma-informed, and solution-focused approach in my work with clients. I am and always have been deeply honoured by the chance to witness such bravery, resilience, growth and happiness in my clients lives.

I see therapy as a space where you can be deeply witnessed, a place where all parts of you, especially those that feel scared, ashamed, or lost, are met with compassion and understanding. It’s often about making room for our most human experiences to be held gently with mindful awareness. In that tenderness, healing can begin, not through force, but rather through care.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, integrative, and strengths-based, with Internal Family Systems (IFS) often serving as a foundation for exploring and understanding inner experience. Rooted in an anti-oppressive, evidence-informed framework, my work is guided by a deep honoring of intersectionality and a commitment to culturally responsive, socially conscious care. As a trained yoga teacher and somatic therapist, I may gently offer mindfulness and body-based practices to support self-attunement and regulation when it feels safe and appropriate. Depending on what feels most helpful, our work might include elements of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Focusing, and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative and responsive, ultimately shaped by your pace, values, and preferences. Throughout this process, this work will invite you to trust your body, your voice, and your intuition.

At the centre of my practice is the belief that every person deserves to be met with warmth, curiosity, and respect—exactly where they are. I take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning the tools and techniques I use are thoughtfully chosen based on what best fits each person I work with.Some of the evidence-based modalities I often draw from include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I work through a multicultural, neurodiversity-affirming, and anti oppressive lens to help clients feel seen and supported as they move toward healing and self-understanding.

Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in your voice. I also recognize the importance of holistic health and, when helpful, work alongside families and professionals to support continuity of care. I’m familiar with wraparound principles and case coordination, and I’ve partnered with educators, social workers, and allied health providers to ensure stability and consistency for the people I support. It takes courage to begin this work, and my goal is to offer a space where you feel truly heard and empowered—to explore your story in a way that feels right for you.

My approach is grounded in person-centred values: you deserve to feel safe, respected, and free from judgment. I support clients in clarifying what matters to them, understanding patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and building a stronger sense of agency both in and outside of sessions.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), alongside a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens. I have experience working with children, adults, and families navigating anxiety, stress, behavioural concerns, relationship challenges, and neurodivergence-related experiences, including the impact of stigma and systemic barriers.

I value open communication and welcome feedback throughout our work together. My goal is to ensure our work remains collaborative, responsive, and aligned with your needs.

My approach is grounded in a humanistic, person-centered framework that prioritizes warmth, curiosity, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring your current challenges at your own pace. I view you as the expert in your own life, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate what healing, growth, or change looks like for you.

I bring both lived and learned experience in areas such as trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, identity exploration, and major life transitions. These experiences inform my practice and allow me to hold space with empathy and openness for the complexities you may be facing.

I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), while also incorporating trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices.

As someone who has never fit easily into preconceived boxes, I take an eclectic approach to therapy to best fit the client or clients in front of me. First and foremost, is working to create a safe space for you to be heard and seen. It takes bravery to seek out therapy and I endeavour to meet that bravery with nonjudgement, openness, honesty, and compassion. When appropriate, I will utilize humour and metaphors. As therapy does not exist in a vacuum, I am also cognizant of external factors and will consider the broader picture and how societal systems and cultural factors impact our work together. All work I do is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, neurodiversity and disability affirming, and anti-oppressive.

If you are curious about the theories I work with, I come from a humanistic and person-centered approach. I believe in you, your agency, and capacity for change. Some of the specific theories I utilize are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), self-compassion work, somatic approaches, and Gottman therapy. This can look like increasing your psychological flexibility, exploring the parts holding you back from healing, quieting your inner critic, practicing mindfulness, and learning how to better love and be loved. While everyone’s therapy journey is different, together, we can recognize patterns, process old and new wounds, and help you carve out the path forward you seek. Here’s to you and your healing journey!

I believe that change, growth, and healing are possible for everyone. My approach is holistic, client-centred, strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. I primarily draw from Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST) and the person-centred model. Grounded in a humanistic and positive perspective, I work collaboratively with you to uncover the strengths and survival patterns that have helped you get here – then tap on the internal resources you already hold to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I’m honoured for the opportunity to walk alongside you as we find what works best for you—based on your needs, goals, and unique story. In our work together, you can expect a gentle, non-judgmental, and inclusive space—like a warm hug for your inner child—where all parts of you are welcome. I believe that while our past shapes who we are, it does not define who we can become. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences have impacted the way you see yourself and relate to others. With care and curiosity, we’ll shift unhelpful patterns and reconnect you with a deeper sense of choice, clarity, and self-worth. You are the author of your story—and you have the power to write the next chapter. I offer service in both English and Vietnamese.

My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, empathy, and collaboration. I believe every person’s story makes sense within the context of their experiences, and I strive to create a space where you can explore it with self-compassion. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Narrative, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused Brief, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I tailor our work to your needs, preferences, and goals, offering a space to deepen self-understanding and move toward what feels authentic and fulfilling.

I view therapy as a shared journey of discovery. Together, we uncover strengths, develop practical tools, and build resilience. I support clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Additionally, I have a growing interest in how financial stress and beliefs about security influence emotional and relational well-being. By bringing awareness to these patterns, we can cultivate greater balance, confidence, and connection in our lives and relationships.

I am motivated to make our counselling sessions empowering for you, supporting the changes that you want to make in life. My work often focuses on values, self-acceptance, and client-directed action.

My counselling style fundamentally incorporates a person-centered social justice lens. My clients’ perspectives, cultures and values are prioritized throughout our counselling relationship.

An integrative approach allows me to work collaboratively with my clients to co-construct therapy that works for your needs.

When working with individuals, I take a humanistic approach to build a caring and empathetic relationship between client and counsellor. Together, we will build strategies to alleviate distress, find self-acceptance and strive towards positive change. For this work, I lean on the therapeutic modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.

When working with couples, I ground myself in Attachment Theory and strive to strengthen a base of communication skills, mutual understanding and respect, building towards loving, compassionate and joyful relationships where each partner feels valued and secure. In terms of therapeutic styles, I make use specifically of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman’s Couples Therapy.

I take a lot of inspiration from narrative therapy in my work with clients. My approach is person centred in that I believe you know your life better than anyone else — my role is to help you look at it from new angles and ask the questions that move things forward. I work through a trauma informed and anti-oppressive framework to help you connect with yourself beyond the negative cultural messaging that may have shaped (or hurt) you. I also draw from various other modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), existential therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT & EFCT)…

I want to acknowledge that who I am and where I come from shapes how I see the world and practice therapy. I am a Vietnamese queer, cis-gender woman living and learning on unceded, ancestral, and occupied, traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Watuth), Stó:lō, Shíshálh (Sechelt) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, with a strong emphasis on creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and authentically.

Together, we will work to better understand what you’re going through, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, and build practical tools to help you navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and clarity. Whether you’re facing a specific concern or feeling stuck and unsure of where to begin, I strive to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I recognize that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to take that first step.

My work is primarily informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, while also integrating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, values, and experiences.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. While our past experiences can shape us, they do not have to define our future. Depending on your goals, our work together may involve exploring relationship patterns, processing difficult experiences, developing emotional awareness, challenging unhelpful thoughts, strengthening self-compassion, or building practical coping strategies to support your well-being.

Finding the right counsellor can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re taking the time to invest in yourself and your mental health. If you think we may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey.
