Her holistic approach bridges mental health and physical well-being, particularly for those dealing with health psychology concerns or later life transitions. Outside the therapy room, Shengmei finds joy in swimming, rock climbing, and playing tennis—activities that keep her grounded and energized. She brings that same energy and balance into her work with clients across Massachusetts.
