At HeartConnect Psychology and Healing, we believe healing begins with connection — to oneself, to others, and across generations. Maggie brings this belief into every therapeutic relationship, offering person-centred, attachment-oriented, and trauma-informed care that supports resilience, empowerment, and long-term wholeness.

Maggie started practicing counselling in 2016 and has been a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists since May 2019. She has developed broad clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as clinical supervision. Her counselling experience includes work with Alberta Health Services and the Calgary Counselling Centre, where she supported clients facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship challenges, self-esteem, stress and burnout, identity concerns, body image struggles, chronic pain, work-related injuries, career changes, and life transitions.

Before entering the field of psychology, Maggie worked as a quality-control chemist and financial analyst. These experiences continue to inform her thoughtful, analytical, and integrative approach to therapy. She earned her master’s degree in counselling psychology from Providence Theological Seminary, where she developed a strong foundation in relational, trauma-informed, and values-based care.

Maggie practices integrative psychotherapy grounded in Attachment Theory and enriched by evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, neuroscience-informed therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Her work focuses on creating emotional safety, strengthening the therapeutic connection, and helping clients move beyond survival patterns toward greater emotional regulation, resilience, self-discovery, growth, purpose, and meaning in life.

Maggie offers a warm, collaborative approach to therapy that is tailored to each client’s unique goals, values, and lived experiences. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Maggie is deeply committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care. As an immigrant herself, she understands the complexities of cultural integration, identity development, and the challenges of navigating change across life stages. She supports clients in honouring their histories while building a more grounded and empowered future.

Maggie has been married for over 38 years and is the mother of one son. She values family, meaningful relationships, and community connection. Outside of clinical practice, she enjoys cooking, travelling, reading, writing, learning, and volunteering. Over the past 10+ years, she has facilitated many marriage enrichment retreats and mental health seminars, reflecting her passion for prevention, education, and giving back to the community.

At HeartConnect Psychology and Healing, Maggie offers a safe and supportive space for those seeking trauma recovery, stronger relationships, emotional balance, or personal growth. Whether you are navigating past trauma, mental health struggles, relationship challenges, or a season of transition, you are welcome here.
