It is a courageous decision to come into therapy. I welcome you and wish to use an integrative approach and support you in this journey through difficulties and self-exploration. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and culturally sensitive approaches, tailoring therapy to your unique needs. Understanding more about how your past shapes your present and how culture and identity operate and affect you can bring about clarity, facilitate healing, and promote change. You have inherent strengths, and I want to explore with you how to utilize them to feel better and activate your potential.

I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. My research experience with the psychological development of college students and peer support work helped me understand how individuals navigate difficult times and explore their own paths in life. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin and can provide counseling in Mandarin. My experience of living in China and moving to the U.S. provides me with a unique cultural lens, allowing me to understand and work with individuals from different backgrounds.

寻求帮助和支持、走进咨询室都不是一件容易的事情，因此感谢你的勇气。我希望与你一道探索，是什么带你走进咨询室，你所面对的困难和痛苦，如何疗愈，以及你想要如何走下去。我的风格偏重于温暖包容，试图在与你工作的过程中根据你的需求整合不同咨询流派的理论和技术，包括心理动力学、存在主义、女性主义，和辨证行为疗法。我想要和你探索过去经历、重要关系、当下环境如何影响你，以及这些与你面对的困境如何关联。我想要看见你本真的模样，听见你的渴望。我相信你拥有足够力量，而我们只需要与其链接，渡过困苦。
