Sandy is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who works with youth, adults, and families. She supports clients who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone in what they are carrying, including experiences related to anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and navigating multiple roles or expectations.
Her work focuses on anxiety, stress, relational challenges, parenting, and personal growth. Sandy offers an inclusive, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels right for them.
Sandy brings over 10 years of experience working with youth, adults, and families across public school systems, university settings, and community-based services. This background allows her to understand both the emotional experience and the real-life contexts that shape it. She supports clients in making sense of what they are going through while also identifying clear and manageable ways forward. She also brings a nuanced understanding of cultural identity, intergenerational dynamics, and the complexities of navigating multiple cultural expectations, supporting clients in making sense of both their inner experience and the contexts they move through.
In the therapy room, Sandy offers a steady, supportive, and collaborative presence. Her work is relational and responsive, with attention to both what is being shared and how it is experienced in the moment. She helps clients develop a deeper understanding of their patterns, emotions, and relationships, while also supporting meaningful and practical shifts in their daily lives. Many clients find that they leave sessions feeling more settled, clearer about what matters to them, and better able to move forward.
Her approach is integrative, grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness- and compassion-based practices, and trauma-informed care. She also draws from attachment and relational perspectives, supporting clients in reconnecting with their values, strengthening their sense of self, and developing sustainable ways of coping and moving forward.
She offers a steady and supportive space where you can better understand yourself while also finding a way forward that feels manageable and meaningful.
Sandy offers services in English and Mandarin.
