Please Note
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- The deep, quiet exhaustion that comes with uprooting your life, adapting to a new culture, and facing a loss of your professional identity.
- The immense pressure felt by immigrant parents who are trying to balance their traditional heritage while raising children in a Western environment.
- How acute stress, shock, and heavy trauma live in the physical body, drawing from my 12 years of live experience as a frontline patrolman and first responder.
- The daily emotional burnout of raising neurodivergent children (such as kids with autism or ADHD) and the desperate need for practical behavioral strategies that actually bring peace to the household.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- Born and raised in Beijing, Mainland China and lived there for nearly 40 years before moving to Fredericton, NB, Canada 11 years ago and raising my family here. This cross-cultural experience has shaped my understanding of navigating life between different cultures, languages, and communities. I provide psychotherapy fluently in both my native Mandarin and English
My clients describe me using words like…
- Grounded
- Steady
- Warm
- A solid anchor
- Calm in a storm
- Highly practical
- Reliable
- Non-judgmental

My clients often self-identify as…
- Newcomers, immigrants, and international students who are wrestling with massive life transitions, loneliness, or cultural adjustment.
- Working professionals and corporate executives who feel completely overwhelmed by intense workplace anxiety or deep mental burnout.
- Couples who feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in the same repetitive arguments, or facing friction in their parenting styles.
- Caregivers and parents who feel drained by behavioral challenges at home and need structured, compassionate guidance.
I’m the right therapist for you if…
- You feel completely swept away by massive life changes and need a steady, calm, and grounded professional to help you find your footing.
- You are carrying old or recent trauma and want to safely process it without feeling judged, rushed, or flooded by heavy emotions.
- You want to stop the endless finger-pointing in your relationship and rebuild real, lasting emotional safety with your partner。
- You are a parent feeling burnt out by daily meltdowns or behavioral struggles at home and want realistic, step-by-step steps that actually work.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage.
We always recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm what coverage you have.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
