You find yourself caught in a spiral, asking why you can't just stop. You feel stuck in a relationship with no way out. You ask yourself: is this the life I wanted?

I know what it's like to know what you should do and still not be able to change it. It's exhausting. In therapy, you don't have to fake it until you make it. I'll be with you as we make sense of the past and figure out where the next step leads.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

Maybe this sounds like you…

  • You take such good care of everyone else that you always come last.
  • You're sharp in every meeting, then come home and can't decide what's for dinner.
  • When your family calls, you take three deep breaths before you answer.
  • You can feel yourself close to giving up on talking with your partner.

Change isn't something you wait for. It's something you practice.

Hi, I'm ZiChange starts here

I'm Zi Zheng, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. My work centers on anxiety and relationships.

Many of the people I work with are the capable ones: the person no one worries about, who gets things done and holds it all together. What no one sees is that the tension never really goes away. You might feel like you're walking on eggshells every day, and no one really sees it.

I won't just sit across from you and nod. We'll figure out what your anxiety has been protecting and where your relationship keeps getting stuck, and then we'll work on changing it through practice, at a pace you can actually manage. You don't have to push yourself. Just by getting this far, you've already started.

Sessions are available in English or Mandarin.

What fellow therapists say

I've had the chance to work with Zi, and she's someone I'd feel completely comfortable referring people to. She really pays attention to the people she works with and has a way of helping clients feel understood. She asks thoughtful questions, notices things that are easy to miss, and knows when to gently challenge someone and when to simply listen. It's obvious that she cares deeply about her clients and the work she does. Anyone who chooses to work with Zi will be in very good hands.
