I am Tori, a Master’s student at Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. My practice is guided by humanistic, psychodynamic, and body-centered approaches. As a Chinese international student for the past ten years (and counting), I’ve experienced the joys and struggles of identity development amidst life transitions, acculturation, and grief. The growth and healing on this journey drive me to support clients in nurturing their authentic selves in the context of their world and how it is embodied.
In the past two years, I was a peer educator at my college’s Health and Wellness Center. It was deeply fulfilling to hold a warm, affirming space for fellow students to reconnect with themselves, explore different topics, and discover their wise inner voice. The principles of peer work — respect, compassion, collaboration, and mutuality — will continue to shape an empowering space where you can feel safe to explore and grow.

Psychologist Kevin McEvenue once said, “When a part of me is able to feel loved, it awakens to its own healing.”

If you are interested, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this stretch of your life journey.
