我认为每一个人都有专属于自己的生活方式。

对于生活,每个人都有属于自己的节奏,相同或不同的理解,以及独特的经历和情绪体验。对于成长和改变,无论是曾经还是现在,每个人都有着自己的梦想,“想要成为的样子”,以及前进的方向。

作为一名亚洲女性实习心理咨询师,我精通中英双语。我希望能够通过为你提供一个安全,温暖,拥护的空间,帮助你发掘自己的潜力,加深对自己的认识,并向着你理想中自己的样子成长。

我出生于中国,后来来到美国亚利桑那大学攻读心理学本科学位。获得纽约大学心理咨询硕士学位,LGBT认证双学位。此前,我有着一年在中国国内医院实习工作的经验。我擅长处理焦虑,抑郁,压力管理,创伤,适应难题,以及家庭关系等方面的顾虑,并乐于与儿童,青少年,以及成年人一起合作进步。我的咨询方式偏向整合,其中结合了认知行为疗法,辩证行为疗法,接受与承诺疗法,来访者中心疗法,心理动力学疗法,以及存在主义疗法。
