About
Aileen approaches therapy with a firm belief in everyone's inherent capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Drawing from her lived-in experiences with mood disorders and problematic substance use as a queer, second-generation Taiwanese-Malaysian individual, she also brings over five years of frontline experience in community mental health and substance use to her 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. She believes you know yourself best and is dedicated to co-creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly express, explore, and define your identity. Aileen’s approach is trauma-informed, decolonial, and anti-oppressive, aimed at challenging systemic discrimination and promoting safe and equitable socioeconomic structures. Aileen continually practices cultural humility in her work to centre the stories of equity-deserving folks and empower individuals to access
healing within themselves.
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.
Outside of her practice, you can find Aileen climbing rocks, drawing stuff, and spending the rest of her downtime with her 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.
