Emily (she/her/hers) is a cisgender, non-disabled, biracial person of white and Chinese ancestry, and daughter to a first-generation Chinese immigrant. She lives and practices on the stolen, ancestral, and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), and Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish) peoples. Emily works with individuals that may be struggling with experiences of anxiety, low self-esteem, cultural identity conflicts, and intergenerational familial patterns.
Emily is passionate about practicing from an intersectional, culturally inclusive, and intergenerational lens, acknowledging that every person is unique in their lived experiences. Throughout these experiences, Emily strives to support clients in actualizing their sense of autonomy, self-worth, and personal strength.
With each client, Emily takes a curious and compassionate position, that centres on the client’s wellbeing and healing. She works to minimize shame and encourages dialogue that supports self-acceptance. Clients can expect sessions to be collaborative, welcoming, and safe. While Emily utilizes systemic/anti-oppression and strength-based approaches, she is first and foremost person-centred, tailoring strategies that are most beneficial and helpful for her clients.
Outside of her practice, Emily is completing a Master’s of Counselling at City University of Seattle. In her personal time, you can find her reading any type of genre, trying new cuisines, and spending time by the water.
Emily is appreciative of the trust of her clients and looks forward to hopefully working alongside you soon!
