Hi, I'm Sylvie.

I've always been a listener. From my childhood in Canada to my work as a counselor today, I've seen how powerful it is when someone truly hears you. But nowhere is that listening more important—or more difficult—than in a relationship.

My deepest passion is working with couples who feel trapped in the same exhausting cycle. You know the one—where a simple disagreement spirals into the same old argument, and somehow, you find yourselves further apart than before. The space between you can feel as wide as an ocean, and no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to find your way back to each other. I want to help you bridge that gap.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist through ICEEFT, and I hold an M.A. in Professional Counseling from Olivet Nazarene University. EFT is at the heart of everything I do—it gives us a clear, research-backed roadmap to understand why you get stuck and how to reconnect. Whether you're navigating the fallout of infidelity, preparing for marriage, or simply trying to survive the chaos of parenthood, my goal is to help you turn your fights into conversations and your distance into closeness.

I also work with individuals who are carrying the weight of a broken relationship—whether that's a painful dating history, a divorce, or a separation. These experiences can leave you feeling untethered, unsure of who you are outside of that partnership. You may have lost not only someone you loved, but also a piece of yourself. Together, we can gently untangle the hurt and rediscover the person you are beneath the loss—so you can find a new path forward, rooted in who you truly are.

If faith is part of your journey, I am equipped to gently incorporate prayer into our sessions, drawing on my training in Elijah House Ministry. I am fluent in both English and Cantonese, and I look forward to creating a safe, judgment-free space for you..
