Love your life, love it!

Hi, I’m Thao (Isabel)

I am based in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada.
I offer in-person and virtual counselling services. As a Registered Professional Counsellor with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA), a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and an EFT couple therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how trauma affects the body, nervous system, brain, emotions, and relationships. I work with clients navigating life changes, overcoming obstacles, and healing from past pain.

With families and couples, I also recognize the distress couples face when communication breaks down, conflicts arise, escalation to fights —it’s painful.

I create a safe space where individuals and couples can reconnect with themselves, explore their fears and shames with lots of compassion, and share their stories with others. I help clients listen to their own needs and, from that place of understanding, communicate more deeply with their loved ones.

I provide my services in Vietnamese and English.

Individual & Couples, Families Counselling

Empathetic Approach

I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel overwhelming. As a trauma-informed counsellor, I’m here to support you and recognize the deep impact trauma and stress can have on your life.

Cultural sensitivity

I support individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating significant life changes, such as shifts in relationships (romantic or otherwise), career transitions, or relocation. I also work with those facing the effects of trauma, anxiety, or stress, and offer guidance to those experiencing mental health challenges in the workplace or burnout. With sensitivity to cultural differences, I help you explore and process complex emotions, and provide support for those experiencing distress in romantic relationships, whether individually or as a couple
