You're smart, successful, driven - but you're stuck. On the outside nobody would guess it, but on the inside you feel torn apart. Your anxiety is relentless, your inner critic berates your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you simply don't believe it. You wonder if you have anxiety, or maybe it's ADHD, or maybe even depression or past trauma. You definitely know you can't relax, it's hard to even stay still. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how.

Hi, I’m Wenyu, and I’m here to create a compassionate and supportive space where we can face life’s challenges together. I understand individuals can feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, stress, relationships, navigating academic and personal pressures, or managing life transitions. Whether you are an adolescent, adult, parent, or new mother, you may be seeking clarity, emotional balance, or a deeper sense of self. It’s natural to feel stuck, uncertain, or exhausted from carrying the load alone. You want to feel understood, regain your confidence, and make meaningful progress toward your goals.

Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.
