Jena supports young adults and adults who have difficulty navigating their emotions and life transitions. Jena is particularly passionate about helping you boost your self-esteem and confidence, which can impact various areas of your life, from relationships to careers. Jena works collaboratively with you to identify negative self-talk and patterns that may be holding you back from living a fulfilling life. Together, we will work to reframe those thoughts and develop more positive and empowering beliefs about yourself.
As an Asian therapist, Jena understands the unique cultural expectations and pressures that you may face if you identify with a different cultural background as well. In sessions with Jena, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings safely. Her gentle and compassionate approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and empowering clients. By helping you develop coping skills and resilience, Jena empowers you to better cope with life's challenges and the emotions attached to them.
Outside of sessions, Jena is a creative and curious person. She likes to spend time by herself doing creative activities like painting and animating. Skating is another favourite hobby of hers, and she enjoys trying new restaurants and exploring different cuisines. Jena also enjoys the simple pleasures of life and has a soft spot for watching old movies repeatedly, especially in the comfort of her own home.
Jena can provide sessions in English and Mandarin.
