I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Vancouver, BC, offering individual, couples, and family counselling both in person and online. If you feel stuck—either on your own or in a relationship—and feel that change could be helpful, I am there to support you in finding a way forward. I am committed to supporting people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, long-term mental health challenges, and relationship difficulties.

My work is grounded in a person-centred approach, recognizing that you are the expert in your own experience. I draw on several evidence-based counselling approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and attachment-informed therapy. These approaches help people better understand patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

I am a very experienced couples counsellor and have worked with many couples regarding past issues or unhelpful patterns while building healthier communication so you can better understand each other and strengthen the relationship. I am trained in the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, a well researched approach, evidence-based approach.

I grew up in China and speaks both English and Mandarin. I am sensitive to the ways culture, family expectations, and multicultural identities can shape our experiences, and have experience supporting people navigating these complexities.

Outside of counseling, one of my hobbies is knitting. I often use the metaphor of yarn to describe therapy. “Each of us carries many threads—our stories, relationships, past experiences, and present challenges—and sometimes they become tangled. Together, we can gently untangle these threads, sort through the past, focus on the present, and move forward with greater clarity, one stitch at a time.”

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked as an accountant and am also a parent to a young adult son and a teenage daughter. I bring compassion, empathy, life experience, and clinical training to my work.
