Registered Clinical Counsellor #22746
Many of my clients are adult children of emotionally unavailable parents. They often grew up in homes where love felt conditional, and emotional needs were quietly dismissed. In therapy, many are still carrying invisible burdens- self-doubt, a harsh inner critic, or emptiness in their relationships.
As a second-generation immigrant, I understand what it’s like to grow up between cultures: holding the weight of your parents’ hopes and expectations while trying to navigate a world they didn’t always understand. I also know the quiet shame that can come from feeling “not grateful enough,” “not good enough,” or “not emotionally strong enough,” especially when your pain never seemed to have a place.
In our work together, we’ll create space for those unspoken experiences. We’ll explore how the invisible burdens you carry have shaped your inner world, your relationships, and the way you treat yourself today. My approach is gentle, emotion-focused, and grounded in attachment theory and inner child work. As we lean into these tender places, my hope is to help you reconnect with the parts of you that had to stay hidden to feel safe. From there, we’ll begin to build the deep, authentic relationships you’ve always longed for.
