Hi, I’m Zijin, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over three years of experience in the mental health field. I’m passionate about supporting teenagers and young adults as they navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and more. During my clinical training, I completed an internship at The Center for Autism, and I remain dedicated to helping individuals with neurodivergent backgrounds achieve their therapeutic goals.

I often work with clients struggling with concerns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I take a warm, collaborative approach to therapy and aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged. I use an integrative style that draws from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and DBT, helping you explore how your past shapes your present while also building practical skills to manage emotions and navigate challenges in your daily life.

I use an integrative approach that combines psychodynamic insight, CBT techniques, and DBT skills—tailored to your needs—to help you understand your past, change unhelpful patterns, manage emotions, and live more fully and authentically.

My work is grounded in empathy, non-judgment, genuineness, and insight, creating a safe and supportive space for growth and understanding. I adapt our work to your unique needs and goals, whether you’re looking for insight, coping tools, or deeper personal growth. I’m especially focused on helping you make sense of your experiences, develop emotional awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can feel more balanced, empowered, and able to live in a way that feels true to who you are.
