Mackenzie’s Message to Clients

​

In a world where information flows endlessly, in a city as fast and restless as New York, how do we carve out a space just for ourselves? A quiet place where we can breathe deeply and find peace amidst the noise. We all have moments when we feel lost, when the world's weight makes us feel small. Times when we are down, unsettled, empty, or lonely — even when surrounded by others. We long for someone to talk to, someone who will listen without judgment, who will hold space for our thoughts and feelings.

Therapy is for everyone. It’s not just a path for those in crisis but a journey for anyone seeking to be understood and wanting to understand themselves better. In this shared space, we will discover your strengths, explore your inner world, and help you uncover the pieces of yourself that are waiting to be seen and embraced. Together, we weave stories, feel emotions, explore ideas, take meaningful risks, and build a life that aligns more with who you truly are. 

I am here to walk beside you on this journey of healing and growth. With gratitude and hope, we will uncover your true self, build deeper connections with others, and find ways to cope with life’s challenges. Through it all, I look forward to witnessing the beautiful unfolding of your story.

I offer virtual sessions in both English and Mandarin.
