您好！我的名字叫 Maggie。十多年前，我移民到了溫哥華。這些年間，我經歷了讀書、學習、就業等無數的挫折與考驗，終於在今年能夠做我心目中一直想做的事：用諮商的方式，幫助更多的人。如果你也正在經歷相同、類似、或完全不同的事，想要找人聊聊的話，歡迎隨時跟我預約。我希望能有機會在你感到迷惘時，帶給你一絲絲的力量與陪伴。
Meet Maggie
Maggie immigrated to Canada in 2010 and empathizes with the struggles of learning a new language, adapting to a brand-new country, and being half a globe away from her family. These unique challenges were a katalyst to her becoming a counselor and providing support to individuals navigating similar challenges.
She connects with clients in an authentic, warm, and compassionate way. As a therapist, she hopes to invite the client’s true self into the room to understand their goals, values, and beliefs from a collaborative stance.
Her practice is grounded in trauma-informed, client-centered, and strength-based approaches. As she works with clients she focuses on relationship-building, experiential exercises, as well as art-based practices. While relocation and life transitions for new immigrants is her area of passion, Maggie is experienced working with adults, youths, children, as well as individuals who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and BIPOK.
Her areas of focus and interest include:
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
OCD
-
grief
-
sexual identity
-
self-harm
-
substance use
Maggie is currently available for virtual sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings between 6-9 pm until January and will be available in person in Fort Langley in the near future.
