Being an Asian Canadian isn't easy. There is a "model minority" myth which has created much suffering in this community. Your immigrant parents brought the family to Canada for a better life, and they expect you to do well. You grew up under a lot of pressure to succeed academically and hopefully to attain the good career that comes with it. You might have experienced discrimination or have been the target of bullying because of some thoughtless jokes or stereotypes about who you might be as an Asian.
I hope to work with you and help you reduce some of the stress you experience as an Asian Canadian. I would like to be a companion in your search for happier and freer life, and through the collaborative process of counselling, I would like to help you find ease and comfort in being who you are.
- Are you stressed out about life, work, or school because of high expectations?
- Do you argue or fight with your parents about what you want vs. what they want for you?
- Do you wish your parents would understand you or be happy for your decisions?
