Jenny Sum

(they/them)

Intern

Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, and first-gen Asian American, and those lived experiences shape how I show up. Therapy with me isn't about fixing you. It's about understanding what you've been carrying and finding gentler ways to move through the world. I believe therapy doesn't always have to be serious to be meaningful. Some sessions can be deep and tender. Others might include laughter, curiosity, or moments of lightness. We follow what feels supportive, and not what therapy is "supposed" to look like. My approach is collaborative and grounding. You're the expert on your life, and I'm here to walk alongside you, help make sense of patterns, and support you in feeling more like yourself. If you're looking for a space that's warm, affirming, and human, you're welcome here. If this resonates, I'd love to connect!
