About Brian

Hi there!

I am a Second-Generation Asian-Canadian and Registered Clinical Counsellor with a M.A. in Counselling Psychology from UBC. I have experience supporting clients from a wide variety of ages and backgrounds, with a focus in relational trauma and stress (intergenerational trauma, intimate partner violence, dysfunctional families, anxiety, depression, cultural dysphoria, as well as insomnia). I work with both couples and individual adult clients (18+) and am available for sessions Thursday-Saturday for online counselling across BC. I offer direct billing for sessions with many insurance companies (check my website for an updated list) or through EMT.

My goal is to help identify challenging cycles or patterns in your life and support you developing tools and additional skills to manage challenges in your life. I seek to facilitate inner exploration to better understand yourself and contribute towards making meaningful change. I take a collaborative approach supported by evidence-based practices (EMDR, CBT-I, CBT/BA to name a few) and my goal as a counsellor is to help you find solutions that work for you. I hope to work together as a team to develop goals and a plan of action personalized to you, that will help you make meaningful change and growth.

You can book a free 15 minute consultation to find out how I can support you and to see if we’d be a good fit. You can contact me at [email protected] or you can also find out more details about my approach to counselling as well as some therapy resources/FAQs at www.jumpstarttherapy.ca
