“Working with Yanyan has been an incredibly grounding and healing experience. From our very first session, I felt a deep sense of understanding and connection — not just on a personal level, but in the way she intuitively grasped the values, family dynamics, and cultural nuances that shape who I am. Her calm presence, thoughtful reflections, and genuine care have helped me feel seen in ways I didn’t know I needed. I’ve grown so much through our work together — emotionally, mentally, and in how I relate to myself and others. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who brings deep empathy, insight, and an intuitive understanding of complex identity and background.”

What should a new client know about working with you?

Are you feeling stuck right now in your life and looking for some support? I am here to welcome every part of you, just the way you are. I practice the process model, which is an experiential form of psychotherapy where I help you with your journey of self-discovery. My job is to help you move through healing from trauma, allow for transformation, and live a fulfilling life. In the world today, everything is plugged in and stressful. Do you want to unplug and find those meaningful connections and relationships for a more balanced lifestyle? Let's meet and have an authentic conversation. Being Asian in today's individualistic society can have profound challenges. My hope is to help a new generation navigate multicultural differences to bring balance, understanding, and harmony to clients through my knowledge, training, and personal experience. I have a multicultural background and can speak both English and Mandarin fluently. I look forward to connecting with you.
