I am professionally trained to provide mental health counselling and therapy from a variety of evidenced-based therapeutic interventions that focus on transforming negative thought patterns and impact it has on daily life. I specialize in helping to navigate difficult life transitions (ie. career, home, marital etc), relationship conflicts, self esteem challenges, work-related difficulties and reducing anxiety and depression to improve quality of life. I will help you breakdown the cause of your distress, find self-acceptance, foster meaningful relationships, regulate your emotions, and identify your strengths to realign back with your core values. I have helped clients ranging from corporate executives struggling with performance anxiety and relationship difficulties to migrant domestic workers suffering from abuse and childhood trauma.

My holistic approach draws from proven, scientific methods in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassionate Inquiry (CI), Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Gottman Method for Couples, as well as Yoga and Meditation techniques.

I am also known for my non-judgemental, patient, yet straightforward style balanced with empathy and compassion, and offer therapy and coaching in English, and Cantonese.
