Hi there! I’m Tara
My name is Tianlan Xu, and you can call me Tara!
I’m a registered social worker (MSW) in Ontario. I’m most passionate about empowering people who struggle with anxiety and generational trauma to feel confident about their coping ability and enjoy life to the fullest.
I want you to know that your anxiety symptoms are not just hassles that you need to hide/make go away; they are windows for understanding your stories of trauma and resilience, and it is a wonderful opportunity for healing and growth.
I want to help shift your relationship with the anxious part of you that has been working SO HARD over the years, so that you can cope from a place of steadiness and calmness grounded in your adulthood.
