Hi, I'm so glad you're here.
I trained in counselling and art therapy in Sydney, with a deep understanding of the tension between Western life and traditional Asian family dynamics. I truly believe everyone carries the capacity to heal and grow. I am here to walk alongside you with gentle care and curiosity, at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
οΌ Each session can mix art-making and talking β whatever feels right for you that day.
My Therapeutic Approach
Person-centred and strengths-based. In our work together:
- We work together, as a team
- We notice patterns that keep showing up
- We build on your own strengths
- We find practical ways to feel grounded
Topics We Can Explore Together
Every journey is different. Here are some topics creative therapy can help with.
Navigating the tension between Western culture and Asian family expectations, generational pressure, and defining your own identity while honoring your roots.
Reconnect with yourself. Find your voice beneath expectations or big life changes.
Look at patterns in your relationships and family, in a caring space.
When feelings feel too big to explain, art gives you a safe way to release and calm them.
