Are you longing for more peace and calmness in your life because you're often anxious and there’s a pit in your stomach that won’t easily go away? Do you often put yourself down and become self-critical? Do you wish for more meaningful and fulfilling relationships in life? What if I tell you that you CAN learn to better calm your anxieties, be more confident, self-compassionate, and connect better with your friends, family, and partner? Throughout 19 years of my clinical work, I've worked with numerous clients and had the privilege of witnessing their steady progress towards the life they hoped for despite their initial challenges.

As a Columbia University-trained, NY/NJ licensed Asian American psychologist based in NYC, my specialties include anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships and interpersonal concerns. I also have expertise in culturally-attuned therapies, specifically tailored to best serve Asian Americans, BIPOC, and Adult Third Culture Kid (TCK) clients.

I’m here to support you in discovering your calmer and more confident self. I can also help you gain greater insights and interpersonal skills, so that you're better equipped to cultivate more meaningful relationships. I'll always tailor therapy to fit who you are & your unique needs. So, please reach out. Let's first connect to see if we'd be a good fit!
