Aileen is centered in the photo with a subtle smile. They are wearing glasses and their dark hair is resting on their shoulders. They are standing in front of a lush, green background wearing a black t-shirt with long, red, fabric earrings dangling over their shoulders.
Aileen's upper arms have various tattoos peeking out from under their short sleeves.

About
Aileen approaches therapy with a firm belief in everyone's inherent capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Drawing from their lived experiences with mood disorders, neurodivergence, and problematic substance use as a queer, second-generation Taiwanese-Malaysian individual, they also bring over five years of frontline experience in community mental health and substance use to their role as a student counsellor.
Aileen is committed to being an advocate and ally for you, whoever you are and wherever you may be in life. They believe you know yourself best and are dedicated to co-creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly express, explore, and define your identity. Recognizing the longstanding prominence of health inequities, Aileen aims to support individuals facing complex barriers to accessing care. Aileen’s approach is trauma-informed, decolonial, and anti-oppressive, aimed at challenging systemic discrimination and promoting safe and equitable socioeconomic structures.
Aileen’s current and evolving expertise lies in supporting individuals who are experiencing problematic substance misuse, cultural trauma, identity exploration, anxiety, and systemic, relational, and societal oppression. Their counselling interests lie in parts work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and psychosomatic therapy.
Outside of her practice, you can find Aileen climbing rocks, drawing stuff, and spending the rest of their downtime with their cat.
Aileen lives and works in the unceded and ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
