Julie first became interested in Buddhism in her youth when she began to search for the meaning of life. This began a lifelong journey that brought her to Thailand, India, and Nepal to discover herself through Buddhism, meditation, and languages. In Thailand, she practiced meditation and guided fellow practitioners in the practice of mindfulness. She began to explore her burgeoning interest in Buddhism by studying the Tibetan language in India. Later in Nepal, she completed an undergraduate and graduate studies in Buddhism and Himalayan Languages and later translated Tibetan Buddhist texts.After her study of Buddhism, she recognized the importance of balancing both spiritual and psychological healing which led her to graduate studies in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. The integration of both these approaches has allowed her to practice compassion in action with many types of people from all walks of life. As a second-generation Chinese Canadian, Julie is passionate about integrating your cultural wisdom, knowledge, and spirituality into therapy. She is passionate about meeting people as they are, in the here and now, and helping people authentically discover themselves with acceptance, kindness, and compassion.Julie integrates various approaches to therapy to find the right fit for you.
