Psychotherapy in Toronto
A warm welcome. I invite you to bring your struggles, messiness, doubts, and certainly your hopes and dreams into our collaborative space. Together, we will explore and shine light on the challenges that you face, and discover wisdom amidst the sorrow, anxiety, anger, and laughter.
My approach to therapy is supportive and challenging, empathic and direct. I am committed to getting a deeper understanding of you, how you want to live your life, and how you'd like to better your relationships with yourself and others.
You may find the 'aha' moments in our sessions to permeate your life, shifting the ways you engage with the world.
ABOUT
.jpg)
I'm a psychotherapist based in Toronto, Canada. A fellow voyager in life, I'd be honoured to facilitate your journey with empathy, compassion, creativity, and introspection. I welcome people of all identities, and strive to go beyond labels that we attach to ourselves to understand you and what you are about.
I have worked clinically with diverse populations and settings- including acute and outpatient mental health units in the UK, community settings in Singapore, and in private practice in Toronto. In addition to clinical work, I also enjoy facilitating creative therapeutic workshops. Having lived in various countries and cultures around the world as an Asian woman, I have also developed a keen sense of what it means to be 'same', 'different', and living with conflicting cultures and identities.
I am informed by existential, psychodynamic, third-wave CBT theories as well as Dance Movement Psychotherapy. Prior to the psychotherapy, I gained valuable experiences in the corporate world and in commerce. I am familiar with taking leaps of faith, living and being in different cultures, and grappling with life's many dilemmas.
