Dear client,

I am excited to share with you that starting from September 13th, I will host sessions at my home office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I will remain working at the downtown office on Fridays and Saturdays. With the added location, there are a few changes:

Booking:

When you click the booking website, you will get to choose from Downtown Location or West Location.

-Choose West Location if you prefer sessions on Wednesday or Thursday

-Choose Downtown Location if you prefer sessions on Friday or Saturday

-If you prefer online sessions, feel free to choose either location.

Address:

-My Downtown location remains the same: 10411 122 Street, Suite 101

-My West Location is near Lessard Road/Anthony Henday. I will email you the detailed address once you make a booking on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Parking:

-There is no change to the Downtown location.

-If you visit the West Location, please feel free to park in my driveway or along the road.

Therapy Dog On Site:

-When you visit the West Location, my 2-year old Bernedoodle Louie will be on site. He is certified as a therapy dog.

-He will only be invited to the therapy room with your consent. Otherwise, he will be chilling in a gated area away from the therapy room.

-He is hypoallergenic by his breed but let me know if you have health concerns (allergy etc.) so we can figure out a way that ensures your comfort.

-He might bark a couple of times when the doorbell rings but he settles down rather quickly, a treat usually does the trick anyway.

* I apologize for any inconvenience due to this change. Please email me if you have any questions.*

As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I offer individual (14 and up), couples and family counselling. 

My ease with life and people comes as a result of years of personal healing work and my continuous efforts to turn all life struggles into opportunities for growth. I believe that struggles with the self, others and the world around us can create imbalances within us that can manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety and many other disorders. 

I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and can communicate, support and empathize from a lived understanding of cultural diversity. My own experiences as someone from a different culture and background enable me to support people who are facing similar challenges or going through difficult life transitions.  

My explorations in higher learning include the completion of a Master’s degree in Counselling from City University of Seattle, a Bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Alberta and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Law from Tianjin University of Commerce in China. I continue to draw skills, self-awareness, insight and introspection from therapeutic applications which include Mindfulness, trainings of various therapeutic modalities (Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Therapy) and life itself.  

I am especially drawn to the areas of healing related to trauma, dysfunctional relationships and family dynamics. My way of counselling is gentle, creative, insightful and compassionate. I am committed to creating a safe and transformative space for you to reconnect to your own capacity for healing. I have the utmost admiration, respect and enthusiasm for anyone who is willing to pursue a path of personal healing on any level. It is my greatest honour and privilege to support you along the way.  

My ease with life and people comes as a result of years of personal healing work and my continuous efforts to turn all life struggles into opportunities for growth. Having an interest in the concept of healing at a young age, I often wondered about the meaning, purpose and true manifestation of spirituality in human life. Blessed with an inquisitive mind, determination and perseverance, I have searched for answers to the bigger questions life offers throughout the many chapters of my life. I have cultivated an ever-expanding sense of self and perspective on life and my purpose from a daily practice of mindfulness over the years.

I believe that struggles with the self, others and the world around us can create imbalances within us that can manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety and many other disorders.
