Hi, I’m Zheng , a therapist who understands how overwhelming it can feel to navigate life’s challenges—especially when you’re balancing family traditions, cultural expectations, and your own personal needs. If you’re working through anxiety, healing from past trauma, or trying to exploring who you are and who you want to become, I’m here to help. The pressure to meet expectations while staying true to yourself can be heavy. I understand how deeply culture and upbringing shape the way we handle emotions and cope with stress, and I’m here to guide you through those complexities with compassion and care. This is your space to show up as you are, without judgment. We’ll take things at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you. Your story matters, and you deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported. Let’s start this journey together.
Our first session is a starting point for your therapeutic journey. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and concerns. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, explore your history, and discuss what you hope to achieve. Before we wrap up, I’ll check in to see how you feel about working together. Your questions, concerns, and curiosity about therapy are always welcome—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
