I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.
I provide a calm, non-judgmental, and supportive space for my clients to explore deeper emotions and gain insight. Further, by using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, I help my clients by collaboratively finding strategies to move forward, which is especially helpful when clients feel stuck with their mental health and relationships.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. You can email me or book a free phone consultation on my website. And if I’m not the right fit for you, I’d be happy to help you find your therapist!

I have been supporting the diverse lives of youth, families, and individuals for the last ten years. My desire to engage in healing work is strongly rooted in my intersectional identities and commitment to community members experiencing barriers to their wellness.
As a counsellor, I firmly believe that people hold enormous strengths and courage that have guided their footsteps into this present moment. Whether it be depression, anxiety, family breakdowns and other life crises, I believe we are equipped with the capacity to conquer challenges placed in front us.
Our therapeutic relationship will actively work to develop a supportive plan of action for your continued growth and path to healing. Within this process I will utilize an eclectic approach that includes therapeutic modalities such as narrative and cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and art-based activities.
Through a trauma-informed and strength-based lens, we will co-discover your thought patterns, emotions, behaviours and environments that may be preventing you from propelling forward. If you are interested in igniting your healing journey with me I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.

I understand that vulnerability in therapy can be new and intimidating work for some of us. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental and comforting environment for those from various backgrounds. My primary focus is centred on supporting students struggling with transitional periods, anxiety/depression and individuals who may struggle with intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
In my experience, I have learned that it takes courage to seek therapy and self-compassion to show up for ourselves continuously.
Cultural competence is important in my practice and I understand the cultural nuances that influence radicalized people in our community.
I understand first-hand how depression and anxiety can seep into every part of our life and create layers of anger, shame and guilt. Both my background and life experiences help me effectively work alongside BIPOC and POC in our community. I am deeply committed to supporting clients through a strength-based approach with the client’s goals in mind.

I know that we are all vastly complicated social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical beings. As a therapist, I am trained to be someone who helps others when challenges, questions, and difficulties in life need to be understood and resolved. I am a cis-gendered, heterosexual male with mixed ethnicity (Black and White) as well as a mixed cultural identity (raised in China). My strengths include my empathetic listening, compassionate speaking, strong intuitive understanding, and acuity at picking up non-verbal clues and connecting dots.
I like to listen and learn about my clients and let their stories, needs, and goals guide the approach I use. I like working with people of all kinds and ages but have spent specific attention on the youth population as well as couples and other kinds of interpersonal relationships.
Therapy modalities that I tend to use are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Solutions-Focused Brief and Family Therapy.
