About Me

I guide individuals through challenging past experiences, utilising approaches like Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). My practice integrates Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Lifespan Integration, alongside CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. This comprehensive toolkit is ideal for those seeking to gently process trauma, chronic pain, or complex emotions. We work together to build lasting peace and resilience.

Approach

Specialising in trauma and pain, sessions unfold with gentle structure that blends paced memory processing, present-moment coping, and meaning-making so you feel steady as we go. I offer in-person work in Vancouver and secure online sessions in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, with flexible check-ins between appointments when helpful. Therapy is collaborative: we map symptoms, practise grounding and cognitive skills, then use guided somatic and integrative techniques to reduce distress and reshape habitual pain responses. This way of working often suits adults seeking calm, clarity and sustainable change.
