As a registered doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Dr. TCM), I  have been practicing since 2001 after graduating from International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver.  I have pursued extensive training in Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, focusing on treating mental and emotional issues including the two year post-graduate work integrating Eight Principle and Five Element acupuncture with Lonny Jarrett, the preeminent expert in treating psycho-emotional conditions with acupuncture. I am also a registered clinical counsellor (R.C.C.)  with a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology from University of British Columbia.  

For more than two decades, I have been dedicated to helping people to improve  mental health and to live a life with ease, vitality and meaning. I use body mind integrated approach to help people  who experience anxiety, depression, stress disorders, past trauma, panic disorder and other chronic health issues to get on a path of physical and emotional well-being. I am especially experienced in working with people how struggle with chronic pain, chronic fatigue and also anxiety and depression.  

I have led many workshops and seminars on Chinese Medicine and acupuncture focus  on the topic of healing depression with Chinese Medicine. I have given talks on this subject to the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Vancouver Wellness Show, the Prince of Wales Secondary School, and other organizations. In 2006 I was invited to the healing conference of Waskaganish First Nation Community in Northern Quebec. This was a great honour, as I was the first doctor to introduce Chinese Medicine to the Cree First Nation people in the James Bay area. My article on Chinese Medicine and depression was published in Katou, a First Nation newspaper that is distributed throughout Canada. I have taught courses on Chinese medicine in Central College in Burnaby.  My practice of treating depression with Chinese Medicine was featured in the Georgia Straight.

My long-term Zen meditation practice allows me to be present, compassionate, and engaged with my clients. I utilize the powerful tool of mindfulness to help you manage the “monkey mind” and cultivate peace and ease in your life.
