About me

Hello, I’m Jen. I work alongside parents, caregivers, and families as they navigate the unique joys and challenges that come with welcoming and raising children. My goal is to create a compassionate, client-centred space where you feel understood and supported as you explore your needs, your story, and your hopes for the future. Before entering the counselling field, I spent over a decade in the corporate world balancing career ambitions with caregiving responsibilities — an experience that deepened my empathy for those managing multiple roles. As a second-generation Chinese Canadian, a partner to a first responder, and a mother, I understand how cultural identity, shifting relationships, and changing expectations shape our lives. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem and personal growth, workplace stress, and cultural identity exploration. My integrative approach draws from Person-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, yoga-informed therapy, and somatic-informed practice. Outside of my work as a therapist-in-training, I am a yoga and mindfulness teacher with training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I believe deeply in the mind-body connection and the healing that becomes possible when we learn to listen inward. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect and see if we’re the right fit for your journey.

Service introduction

I offer individual therapy for those navigating anxiety, burnout, parenting stress, cultural identity, and life transitions. My approach is warm, client centered, and integrative, drawing from EFT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic informed practices. As a mother, second generation Chinese Canadian, and partner to a first responder, I bring lived understanding to the complex roles we hold and I’m here to support you in reconnecting with yourself through all of it.
