With 10 years of experience treating various acute and chronic concerns in patients of all ages in the Oakville and Mississauga area, she has a special interest in women’s health, including pregnancy and fertility, paediatrics, allergies, digestion, and mood-related concerns. She utilizes various tests with her patients, including food sensitivity and hormone testing, and provides individualized care using the modalities of clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, and homeopathy, including bio-therapeutic drainage, which involves the use of unique combinations of homeopathic remedies to promote enhanced detoxification and general functioning of the body’s organ systems. She has extensive experience in acupuncture (including cosmetic or facial rejuvenation techniques) and also practices Bowen therapy, a gentle hands-on technique that works on muscles, nerves, and connective tissue to address pain.

In her practice, she emphasizes the importance of preventative health care and education. She recognizes that health is a state of balance that involves physical, mental, and social well-being. In the treatment plans she individually designs for each patient, she strives to address the underlying causes of illness, rather than simply treat or suppress symptoms.

I draw upon various theoretical approaches like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-based self-compassion, and Solution Focused Therapies, I focus on developing safe, supportive, and collaborative relationships that promote empowerment and self-discovery. Through a holistic and compassionate stance, I draw upon various theoretical approaches like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). I also offer Hypnotherapy which can provide deeper and more direct access to client issues that have not resolved with Cognitive Behavioural therapy.

I am a bilingual psychotherapist who provides counselling in both English and Mandarin.

My experiences in various countries across continents, have granted me a deep appreciation of cultural diversities. I’m especially drawn to work with: depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties, cross-cultural relationships, LGBTQ, sexuality, work-related stress, burn-out stress, new immigrant, family of origin issues, life transitions and more.

In my practice I have had the honor to witness the change and growth of my clients.
