註冊心理治療師
EnglishLiving with chronic illness, pain, or uncertainty can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space to help you navigate life’s challenges, understand your emotions, and reclaim a sense of control. Together, we’ll work toward relief, clarity, and a life that feels more like your own.
背景
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience helping people adapt to life’s changes. My work began in health and fitness—guiding recovery from injuries, chronic conditions, and age-related changes—which sparked my curiosity about the emotional side of healing. Living with lupus and multiple autoimmune syndromes deepened my understanding and led me to psychotherapy. Alongside my Master’s in Counselling Psychology, I hold training in trauma-sensitive yoga, chronic pain interventions, ACT, CBT, and narrative therapy. My approach is collaborative and grounded, meeting each client where they are to find tools and perspectives that fit their life—not a one-size-fits-all plan.
與我經歷治療的體驗
Choosing to work with me means embarking on a journey where the therapeutic process is as dynamic and unique as your experience. My approach is multifaceted and eclectic, drawing from various modalities to tailor our work to the specifics of your situation. Beyond addressing the core of your chronic conditions, we will explore and support adjacent concerns such as depression, anxiety, low mood, grief, brain fog, fatigue, sleep difficulties, relationship issues, loss of self, low self-esteem, as well as life transitions and career challenges. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by what you’ve endured or lost, my goal is to provide support, help you rebuild, and enable you to thrive.
