About 

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do.” – Bréne Brown

Hello, my name is Jen. Thank you for your courage to be here.

I support adults, parents, and teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, parenting, and cultural identity challenges.

As a second-generation Chinese Canadian, a mother, and a partner to a first responder, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of being bicultural and the silent negotiations many of us make between cultures, roles, and expectations.

Having spent over a decade in the corporate world, I carry a lived understanding of the real-life challenges of carrying multiple roles while striving for both professional success and personal fulfillment. These experiences shape the compassion, authenticity, and relatability I bring into the therapy room.

I also bring years of experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher. These practices continue to support my belief in the mind–body connection and the healing that becomes possible when we learn to listen inward.
My integrative and client-centred approach draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness and somatic-informed perspectives.

Outside of work, I find joy in travelling with my family, spending time in nature, reading, and being present for life’s simple moments.

Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you and hold space as you own your story. Connect with me today to book a free 15-minute consultation and explore whether we’re a good fit.
