About Me

Hi there! I'm Li, a relationship and complex trauma therapist in Toronto, Ontario (Mandarin/English). I integrate relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy with trauma-focused Somatic/EMDR/IFS therapy, to support individuals and couples/families in communities such as immigrants, professionals. LGBTQIA+, and ADHDers. Many clients come feeling like they “should be fine”, but deep down they feel confused, disconnected, overwhelmed, or burdened, just not knowing why. Unprocessed past experiences can be stored in our body, causing anxiety, depression, numbness, or disturbed relationships. In our sessions, we'll gently reconnect the parts that have been shut down by stress, anger, fear, shame, or grief, make sense of everything that's important to you, and create space for you to express yourself freely and rediscover your authentic self. Healing doesn’t have to be a solitary climb. I invite you to book a 15 mins free chat with me — Let’s work together to create a safe, supportive space where you can finally feel understood and empowered to shape the future you deserve. Text or email me, or visit my website (leaflighttherapy.ca) to start your healing journey.

Approach

I specialize in healing relational and trauma wounds via psychoanalytic and trauma-focused therapy—especially for immigrants, professionals, LGBTQ+, ADHDers, CPTSD or sexual abuse survivors, adoption parents, and first responders. My life experiences have deepened my compassion, so I can hold a safe and personalized space for my clients from diverse backgrounds.
