With a unique blend of expertise as a registered dietitian and acupuncturist, my goal is to empower my clients on their path to optimal health by combining modern nutritional science with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
As a dietitian, I apply evidence-based nutritional strategies to address digestive health concerns such as bloating, maintaining stable blood sugar levels, and facilitating healthy weight loss. Acupuncture and TCM nutritional therapy can further support you in this as well.
Acupuncture has the remarkable ability to alleviate muscular pain, ease stress, and restore balance, and I am always excited to share more about how TCM and acupuncture can provide the holistic approach that you are looking for. Your journey to health is a collaborative effort, and I’m committed to supporting you at every step.

Have you ever felt that your thoughts and feelings are not being heard? Have you ever been told to “just don’t think too much” or that “you’re being too sensitive”? I certainly heard that a lot during my childhood and teenage years. It can be a habit to suppress your emotions if you grew up in environments where logic reigns supreme and the expression of emotions is discouraged. Unfortunately, that habit can lead to numbness, emotional dysregulation, as well as difficulty in building and maintaining healthy relationships.
That is why I want to be a companion on your journey of self discovery, healing and growth. I aim to create a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without feeling judged or invalidated. I mainly utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you explore and gain clarity on your emotional cycles and how they affect your patterns of interaction within yourself, with other people and your surroundings. Understanding these cycles is a big step towards forming new and positive experiences.
During my free time, I enjoy listening to music (especially K-pop and Cantopop), hanging out with friends and cooking with my sister.

As a mental health therapist, I seek to provide personalized support to help clients address their concerns. My approach is centered on creating a supportive space where clients can explore their challenges and develop effective coping strategies. I draw on evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy to equip clients with the tools they need to build resilience and cultivate a more fulfilling life.
My client-centered approach is particularly well-suited for those who are navigating difficult life transitions or struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress as individuals or as a couple. I strive to maintain a nonjudgmental and calm demeanor in my interactions with clients, taking the time to thoughtfully consider their concerns and collaboratively develop solutions that address their unique needs and goals.
My journey into mental health began while volunteering with a homeless outreach group. The experiences I encountered there ignited a curiosity for learning how folks can overcome adversity and build resilience. I believe in the power of human connection and the importance of providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support.

Let’s be honest—no one lives a perfect life! We all encounter moments when life feels overwhelming and challenging, and we don’t always feel at our best. Everyone experiences ups and downs and navigates various life seasons. When times are tough it’s easy to feel isolated and disconnected. This is why I feel psychotherapy is so important—it offers a dedicated space to share your feelings and a supportive presence to help guide you through those tough times.
In our sessions, I use an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, integrating Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. These therapy models allows us to address your concerns by emphasizing your strengths and the stories you tell about your experiences. I work with individuals and provide a compassionate, supportive environment, validating your experiences while working together to foster healing and personal growth.
Here are a few fun facts about me so I don’t seem like a stranger!
While some people might keep lip balm in their purse, I never leave home without my trusty hot sauce—because for me, every meal is better with a bit of spice! I also love to explore and travel to new places. My top three favourite countries I’ve visited are Mongolia, Uganda, and Korea!

Sometimes our thoughts can be suffocating, like being stuck alone in a room, breathing in the same air over and over again. We hear our thoughts on loop:
“I should be stronger.”
“Why am I so overwhelmed by this?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
We lose perspective and we want relief.
What we need is to see the window in that room that can supply fresh air for us to breathe. Maybe it’s to open the window, or perhaps it’s finding the energy to step outside and feel the warm sunlight and gentle breeze. Taking the next step isn’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to do this together at your pace.
As a registered social worker, my practice involves individual counselling to youth and adults by utilizing CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), and SFT (Solution Focused Therapy). Together we can discover your capacities, learn how to manage your “room”, and reorient your perspective to get back up and running.
In my off time with nice weather, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors by going on runs, taking a hike, or trying out sports others are playing. Otherwise it’s all about relaxing and laughing with friends!
