Introduction

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to providing a thoughtful and affirming space for meaningful growth and long-term stability. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and integrates evidence-based approaches. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and life transitions, particularly those navigating identity and cultural complexities or feeling stuck in recurring patterns. Therapy is a collaborative and intentional process focused on emotional regulation, strengthening boundaries, and building clarity around values and identity, with attention to cultural influences and lived experiences. I am especially committed to supporting individuals from minority and underrepresented communities, including women, LGBTQ+ clients, and international or bicultural individuals. 提供中文咨询（普通话）。
