My background

I am a first-generation immigrant residing on the unceded territory of the xÊ·mÉ™θkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sÉ™lilwÉ™taɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

​

Born and raised in China, I have also spent a significant part of my life living and learning in Southeast Asia, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia. This diverse cultural background has profoundly shaped my professional identity and approach, blending Western and Eastern philosophies. As a result, I have developed a deep understanding of clients from various cultural backgrounds, which is integral to my role as a counsellor.

​

I firmly believe in the value of your personal insights into your life experiences. I am dedicated to working closely with you or your family to develop a tailored counselling strategy that aligns with your unique needs. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to assist you in fostering self-awareness, self-empathy, and the journey to healing, as well as implementing practical solutions to enhance your daily life.
