Yammie is highly skilled in providing therapy for children, adolescents and adults experiencing a range of psychological conditions and mental health concerns. These encompass but are not limited to depression, anxiety, stressful life changes, grief and loss, and relationship issues.

​

As a mother of two girls herself, Yammie is a fervent advocate for women mental health and intimately understands the profound impact that mental health can have on women at different life stages. She returned to studies briefly after her first child and navigated her second postpartum journey during the pandemic. These experiences deepened her understanding of the unique mental health challenges that women can face during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Driven by this passion, Yammie became a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, registered with the Postpartum Support International, to better address the emotional and psychological well-being of mothers during the perinatal period. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, Yammie is here to journey with you whether you are navigating the complexities of women hood, career challenges, relationship dynamics, or motherhood. Yammie currently facilitates a bi-monthly Mindfulness Group for Moms.

​

In therapy, Yammie balances insight and change, meaning she will help you make sense of your past experiences as well as empower you to use your strengths and newly acquired skills to improve your life now. A collaborative and therapeutic relationship forms the foundation of her work. Understanding that every client’s experiences and preferences are unique, she adopts an integrated approach with techniques from diverse evidence-based psychotherapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, to name a few, to customise an appropriate treatment and change plan for clients. 

​

With Yammie's compassionate and evidence-based approach, clients can expect a safe and supportive therapeutic environment as they embark on their path towards healing, growth, and overall well-being. Yammie can conduct therapy in English and Chinese.
