Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Ning, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I specialize in sexual health and Trauma. I am deeply committed to providing culturally competent and inclusive care.

I am particularly skilled in assisting adults with PTSD, depression, and other mental health challenges, and I support young adults in their identity exploration journeys. My practice is human-centered, focusing on fostering autonomy and collaboration to create a safe and non-judgmental space for growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

My clinical approach integrates evidence-based techniques like EMDR, DBT, and CBT, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I also specialize in serving the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals practicing ethical non-monogamy. Beyond clinical practice, I am actively involved in research aimed at enhancing our understanding of how sexual health and trauma impact diverse populations.

What you can expect from me

If you're seeking a therapist who values your individuality and is dedicated to your well-being, I look forward to working with you in navigating your path to healing and personal growth.
