I am a trilingual (English, Taiwanese, and Mandarin) counsellor with a solid experience working with clients from a diverse cultural background with a variety of challenges. I graduated with a Master of Counselling Psychology from the Adler University in 2018 and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#) Using different approaches in therapy, I will support you in increasing your awareness and understanding of your mind, body, and emotions’ reactions to stressors so that you can be more effective in meeting your goals in your daily life. At the same time, I will help you understand your inner emotional experiences to improve the stability and quality of your relationships with others. While working with teenagers, young adults, university students, and adults in general, I have learned that all events that happened in your life has meaning in itself, and you have created your own meaning about it. These meanings can help guide you in to be who you want to be, go where you want to go, and do what makes you feel alive. In working with me, we will focus on discovering and stepping into your true and healthier self.

Vannie uses evidence-based treatments, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help clients live more fully and authentically. Her passion for supporting clients in expressing overwhelming emotions grew from her experiences as a social justice lawyer. While working with clients to address the injustices they faced, she realized that something essential was missing—a deeper understanding of how life events impacted their emotional well-being, as well as the need for a compassionate companion to support them through life’s challenges.

When emotions like worry, fear, loneliness, sadness, or anger burden relationships and life goals, Vannie believes that expressing these feelings in a warm, safe environment is essential. Through this process, she guides clients to find peace, meaning, and a renewed connection with themselves.
