          About Me (she/her/hers)

            Hello there! My name is Ziyi (Winnie), and I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in the State of Maryland. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University.

            My work is rooted in the belief that every individual is inherently worthy of acceptance, love, and healing. I believe that meaningful change takes place when we feel safe, seen, and supported—especially during times when life feels overwhelming or isolating.

            I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. My work draws from cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, strength-based, family systems, and client-centered frameworks. To me, therapy is not about achieving perfection, but about fostering growth—creating space for authentic self-exploration and intentional living. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel empowered to share your story and express yourself in the ways that feel most natural to you.

            很高兴认识你!我是Winnie,目前是马里兰州的注册心理咨询师(LGPC)。我在约翰·霍普金斯大学获得了临床心理咨询硕士学位。

            我相信,每个人都值得被接纳、被爱与被疗愈。真正有意义的改变,往往发生在我们感到安全、被看见、被理解的时刻——尤其是在生活让人感到压力或孤单的时候。

            在咨询中,我会根据来访者的独特需求,灵活运用不同的治疗方法。对我来说,心理咨询并不是追求完美,而是关于成长——创造一个温暖、有同理心、无评判的空间,让你能够自在地表达自己,分享你的故事,并在过程中逐渐找到力量与方向。
