在自我成长的旅程中感到畏惧是很自然的，但这段旅程同样也能带来丰厚的收获。能在这条路上陪伴你，给予支持、理解与鼓励，是我的荣幸。
The journey of self-growth can be both intimidating and rewarding. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you and offer support, understanding, and encouragement along the way.
在心理治疗中，我希望与你合作，建立一种富有关怀和同理心的关系。在这种关系中，你可以安心地保持好奇心、观察、反思和成长。我们会一起从你的身份和人生经历出发，了解困扰的来源，尝试不同的调节情绪或压力的方式，并找出最适合你的调节方式。我们也会一起探索如何面对生活中的困难处境，支持你更真实地做自己。
In therapy, I hope to collaborate with you to build a compassionate and empathetic relationship where it is safe to be curious, observe, reflect and grow. Together we’ll understand the sources of distress in the context of your intersectional identities and experiences, try out different coping skills and identify what works best for you. We will also explore ways to navigate difficult situations in your life to support you in being your most authentic self.
作为一名拥有多重边缘化身份的心里治疗师，我热衷于为移民群体、有色人种、神经多样性群体以及性少数群体提供个性化的服务。我非常重视在治疗中融入对不同文化的理解与尊重。
As a therapist holding marginalized identities, I’m passionate about providing personalized services to folks in the immigrant, BIPOC, neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities. Providing culturally responsive treatment is central to my practice.
我采用整合性的治疗方法，常结合接纳与承诺疗法（ACT）和人际关系疗法。我也具备认知行为疗法（CBT）、辩证行为疗法（DBT）以及心理动力学理论的经验。根据你的需求和反馈，我会调整治疗方案，灵活整合适合的技巧和方法。
I take an integrative approach to therapy, often drawing on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and interpersonal therapy. I am also experienced in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic theories. Given your needs and responses, I would tailor and adjust treatment to integrate appropriate techniques or approaches.
我可以用中文或英文为你提供心理治疗。
I provide therapy in both Mandarin and English.
