Hey - I’m Shirley! I’m a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) and art therapy student.

Art has always been a therapeutic tool for grounding, self expression and healing in my life. Becoming an art therapist was a natural transition as I enjoy working closely with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. If you are someone that struggles with talking about your emotions and needs, but wants to be validated and heard, we can explore a variety of ways to self-express and communicate aside from talking. Let’s figure out what works best for you!

As an Asian immigrant-settler to Canada at a young age who struggled with my neurodivergent brain, I understand how difficult it is to find belonging and community while navigating the multiples roles you take on in life. I work with all kinds of people, but especially individuals or couples who have immigrated to Canada, neurodivergent, queer, or lives in a caregiver role.

Life can feel so overwhelming and isolating. Let’s collaborate on how I can best support and guide you through challenges in your life, whether that’s burnout, depression, anxiety and other difficulties you are experiencing.
