Therapists for college students near University of Minnesota
When Henry Thoreau gazed at the summer tree and said that “the tenderest fruit needs the tenderest handling,” as a therapist, I believe it's equally true to our mind and our experiences. My role as the therapist is to create a safe and intentional space for you and to lean into the inner strength that may be shadowed by past wounds, present stress, or the hopelessness of the future. My clients include individuals who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, sexuality struggles, or any adjustment issues. It is my passion to support clients of Asian descent and Chinese international students with racial identity and acculturation challenges. My vision for this work is driven by being a first generation Chinese immigrant and my professional experience. When I am not working, I enjoy keeping my egg-laying hens, working on my vegetable garden, biking, and cooking authentic Chinese food for my family.
College is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful! For over fifteen years, I've worked with undergraduate and graduate women as they navigate burnout, relationships, juggle work and school, decide on a career path, and figure out who they want to be in life. Together, we'll identify your strengths, then use those to enhance your coping and help you overcome challenges. My therapy office is a warm and hopeful space where you'll find support to reach your goals.
