I work with individuals (15+) who feel stuck with anxiety and overthinking, and/or relationship strain. Many struggle with rumination, emotional distraught, or difficulty expressing feelings. Through a supportive, collaborative relationship, I help clients regulate emotions, under their meaning, and resolve stress in life. I integrate Western Christianity with Eastern mindfulness, offering cognitive, somatic, and spiritually informed care to support deeper healing and lasting change. Through therapy, clients will find true self, identify their needs, access resources, and moving toward meaningful and lasting healing in life.
I employ Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Socratic questioning to help clients gain insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and increase motivation for change. Through a mindful, holistic, and trauma informed approach, the client would find emotional balance, resilience, and landed on a more grounded, abundant life—both practically and spiritually.
Reaching out is intimidating, and the fact that you’re here already shows enough courage. You deserve support and practical tools that bring clarity in your mind or you could feel your relationship alive again. Text me with a time of your convenience on so we can meet online, okay?

Groups

Anxiety & Self-Esteem Teen Group, Hybrid

Hosted by
Min Zhu

This six-week therapy is for teens who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, social pressure, or low self-esteem. In a safe, therapeutic environment, teenagers can meet peers and share similar stories while feeling heard and truly seen. By the end of the program, teens become more organized with healthier thinking patterns, practical coping strategies, and a supportive network that helps them enjoy life with family and friends, while attending and performing better in school. I also partner with private middle and high schools to offer this weekly after-school on campus, supporting your students’ unique mental health needs and wellbeing.
