Individual Therapy
Vivian is driven by a deep belief that no one should face life’s challenges alone. Her passion in therapy lies in building a trusting, collaborative relationship with her clients—one that promotes healing, personal growth, and positive change.
Vivian is dedicated to offering hope and guiding clients toward healing and wholeness. She warmly welcomes those facing life’s challenges, providing compassionate support for emotional and physical distress. In her practice, she values genuineness, thoughtfulness, and a touch of humour, fostering a safe, respectful space where clients feel empowered to explore their struggles, strengths, and aspirations.
A lifelong learner, Vivian is deeply committed to expanding her skills and knowledge to serve her clients better. She has earned multiple certifications, including Trauma, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Addictions from Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The University of Toronto and Sick Kids. She is also a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) clinician. Her dedication to continuous learning ensures that she brings the most effective, evidence-based approaches to her practice, enabling her to support clients in meaningful, transformative ways.
With a 30-year background as a registered nurse, Vivian’s career has been profoundly shaped by her work in crisis-focused medical missions. During a mission to remote areas of China in 2002, she assisted a reconstructive surgeon in providing corrective surgeries for individuals with cleft lip and palate deformities. Witnessing the challenges faced by these families, including ostracization and limited access to essential services, left a lasting impact. Similarly, her experience in Pakistan in 2005, following a catastrophic earthquake, deepened her understanding of trauma and its effects on communities. These experiences enriched Vivian’s empathy and fueled her commitment to support others through complex social and emotional challenges.
Today, Vivian guides individuals on a journey of self-discovery and resilience. Drawing from her diverse experiences, she helps clients uncover underlying issues and build effective coping strategies. Her extensive nursing background and global work shape her commitment to personalized, compassionate care, empowering clients with the confidence to navigate life’s challenges.
