What is Art Therapy? This is the number one question asked of me. Briefly, as defined by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA), "Art therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem. A goal in art therapy is to improve or restore a client's functioning and his/her sense of personal well-being." The creative process lends itself readily to meeting the individual where they are at in the present moment. My personal style mirrors this. I utilize both the non-verbal and verbal processes to facilitate understanding, awareness and growth. My particular areas of expertise are grief/loss, attachment issues (i.e.foster care/adoption), trauma, mood instability, and disordered personality.

As a first-generation Asian-American born to immigrant parents, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and an advocate for the Deaf community, I believe that an individual’s cultures and communities are key factors in their self-actualization.

Like our fingerprints, there are no two people who will have the exact experiences, pain, struggles or stories. Everyone's pain will show up differently and everyone's story will have a tale that needs to be told. What is the same for most people is the need and want to find release from their pain, healing from their stories and a future to look forward to. When we work together, this is always our goal although our path to get there may look different from your friend, co-worker or family member. This is treatment designed for you and your unique story and needs.

I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. Couples come to me for help managing their conflict.

I help clients understand what they bring to their relationships and ways to make changes in a non-judgmental, accepting, caring way. I am a trained Imago Relationship therapist. I am also a Certified Trainer of the Nurtured Heart Approach to parenting when working with family conflict.

I am a passionate and devoted advocate for mental health. After studying English at the undergraduate level, I received my master’s degree in social work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I aim to help clients through challenges and always approach therapy and the therapeutic relationship from a position of empathy and understanding. I believe that all clients have a unique life story and that it is within this story that healing begins. Using a client-centered approach, my goal is to be a fellow traveler with the client through whatever unique challenges or problems present themselves.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist who specializes in helping learners of all ages understand their strengths and difficulties so that they can reach their highest potential.

Growth. Healing. Self-discovery. I am all about it. Having navigated some tough terrain myself (potholes, sinkholes, road blocks) not only do I understand what it feels like to be at the bottom of a pit, I know how to help. My mission is to make sure you don’t go it alone. Therapy can be powerful and life changing if you’re open to re-writing the narratives you’ve held onto (sometimes for years). My goal is to guide you towards an easier path while walking with you on the overgrown, treacherous, less traveled road. I can equip you with some new tools and help you discover your strength. We'll eradicate the problem from the root.

Stop the unhealthy relationship cycle, find new ways of getting your emotional needs met. I help individuals, who have struggled in their relationships, gain a better understanding of how the cycle of unhealthy relationships began. We explore how to create healthier, more fulfilling, emotional connections in a collaborative, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment. My clients, are often successful in life, but they also talk about how they are never happy or fulfilled in their current relationships. They talk about the difficult childhood that they had and often recognize the connection between the two.

Often times we seek therapy because of struggles in relationships, adjusting to a new phase in life, uncertainty about the future, family stress, anxiety, & depression.

Together we can explore different tools that can support you to work through emotions & patterns that may have happened in the past, but are playing a part in your desire to grow now. We don't choose what happens to us, but it is part of our journey to work through them. Our work together is to increase your choices and awareness.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience.

Immediate openings! The relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important factors in achieving therapeutic success. I place an emphasis on empathy, compassion, and humor to build our relationship. Before work can begin, a client must be comfortable with and trust their therapist. I pride myself on being able to achieve a strong rapport with my clients.

When working with immediate areas of concern for clients, I use techniques from CBT and ACT to help clients develop problem-solving skills, identify who they want to become and reduce stress and anxiety. If you're experiencing unresolved difficult past experiences, I use Attachment Theory. I have a particular interest in helping adolescents develop insights and skills to create a personally meaningful life. I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, academic stress, and relationship difficulties. I currently work as a therapist at both Princeton University and Inner Balance Psychology.
