About Jiabao

*Please schedule a free consult with me here to get started. First couples therapy session is $300/75 minutes Carrying stress and emotions all by oneself is overwhelming, confusing, and can be scary at times. I became a therapist because I found it truly beautiful when witnessing someone being empowered to find their inner strength. I understood the unbearable pain when going through so much uncertainty and longing for support. In my work, I provide a safe and compassionate space to unburden yourself, to have a genuine reflection of who you are. Together, in a non-judgmental and authentic relationship, we can explore emotions that deserve to be seen and find your way back to your desired life. With over a decade of experience, I am here to help: 1. Taming your inner critic and developing self-compassion. 2. Guiding you to make sense of your emotion and body sensations. 3. Empowering you to find your own voice and reclaim your own identity. 4. Processing any roadblocks that stop you from feeling loved or cared. I am thrilled to invite you to this journey of transformation. Through our work together you can expect to feel less anxious and more hopeful in your life, becoming more attuned to your emotions and more confident in yourself, and being able to make meaningful relationships with your loved one(s). I am specialized in work with anxiety, relational trauma, communication, identity/self-esteem, high-achieving people, couple therapy.
