community-oriented eldest daughter, auntie, dog dad, and recovering perfectionist

enjoys belly laughter, being outside, curious exploration, nourishing conversations, creative tinkering, and occasionally disrupting “normalcy” with whimsical, evidence-based, and research-informed takes

​

Hi, I'm Yi! 

My therapeutic style is curious, warm, direct, collaborative, and occasionally playful.

 

I work with adults using an eclectic approach -- blending elements of: intersectional feminist psychology, nature therapy, somatic internal family systems, narrative and expressive therapies, neurodivergent-affirming and values-based techniques, frameworks, and perspectives with some humor and the occasional whimsical take.​

My Approach

I believe in the importance of meeting you where you are from a place of respect, care, curiosity, and compassion. You are the expert of your own life and all parts of you are welcome here.

 

My approach is rooted in: radical acceptance, nurturing your strengths, tending to your growth edges, building a supportive and reciprocal community, and cultivating healthy joyful spaces together in service of individual, interpersonal, and collective healing. 

​​​​​

Together, let's help you take the first and next steps towards feeling more grounded, rooted, resourced, supported, and within your power to move towards what feels meaningful to you.

​​​​​​

May you experience the courage to brave the journey of life with agency, curiosity, authenticity, presence, and purpose.

Payment Considerations

First individual session= $155; following sessions= $145

​

We collect the full payment and I will send you receive monthly superbills (special receipts) in case you want to submit to your insurance or FSA for reimbursement. If you have out of network benefits, after reimbursement your session fee may be $30-$90 out of pocket depending on your plan.

​

Please know that any communication or dealing with reimbursement denials are between you and your insurer. You always have the right to appeal denials with them, and request assistance from the MD State Insurance Commissioner. However, I am not involved in those communications.
