My Counselling & Therapy Approach

Growing up in the Chinese diaspora often means carrying the heavy weight of intergenerational expectations and cultural stressors.

We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore the thought patterns and behaviors that shaped you. Crucially, I integrate Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to address deep-seated triggers and quiet high-functioning anxiety, untangling duty from guilt so you can honor your roots and find your own authentic voice.

I have deep clinical experience with ADHD, Autism (ASD), and other learning differences. My practice is entirely neurodiversity-affirming. I don't see your brain as a 'defect' to be 'fixed' or masked, but a unique operating system to be understood. We shift from a state of constant, exhausting performance and burnout to genuine peace, understanding your unique needs and building strategies for thriving, not just enduring.

I believe that family is an important cornerstone of our identity, especially within our culture. When family dynamics are strained by intergenerational gaps, immigration stress, or differing values, it can be a source of profound distress. Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) helps us create safety to slow down, process complex family emotions, and build secure connections that allow you to thrive within the family context.

I offer a safe, warm, and strictly non-judgmental space rooted in Person-Centered Therapy. I listen to your deep struggles with unconditional positive regard. My goal is to understand your perspective without filters, acting as a compassionate guide. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to help you tap into your innate wisdom and find the solutions that already reside within you.
