Welcome
Welcome to Compassion Counseling. Life doesn't always go the way we expect, and it can be difficult to manage anxiety, sadness, or the weight of a loss on your own. If you're feeling worn down or unsure what to do next, it can help to talk with someone who takes the time to understand your situation. I offer a calm, respectful space to sort through what's going on and identify what might actually help. My work is practical and evidence-based, focused on helping people find relief and a clearer path forward.
About
I grew up in Hong Kong for much of my childhood, an experience that shaped my appreciation for people, cultures, and the many ways individuals navigate challenge and change. During seasons of grief and uncertainty in my own life, I learned how important it is to feel both understood and supported. That balance is what I aim to offer my clients—a space for understanding, reflection, and steady movement forward.
Services & Approach
My approach is collaborative and practical, rooted in evidence-based tools such as CBT, DBT, and resilience-building strategies. I work with individuals, children, teens, and families, tailoring care to each person's needs. Whether working one-on-one or involving the whole family, I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel understood and able to build skills that support daily life.

Family Support
Support for children, parents, and families through individual, parenting, and family sessions.
