I specialize in working with clients experiencing PTSD, Veterans, Individuals with Mood Disorders, Men’s Issues, Stress Management, Life Management Coaching, Ethnic/Cultural Issues, and Anxiety, I bring added value to therapy with unique perspective from lived experience. As an immigrant from Taiwan, I grew up in a rough area of NYC overcoming adversity, trauma, and familial generational trauma to later join the Army as an Infantryman after 9/11 serving for three years including a tour in Iraq. After my time in the Army, I reflected on my own life, searching for a way to give back, and discovered my passion for therapy.

Is This You? Have you been struggling with your emotions? Do you have outbursts or find yourself crying for no reason? Do you often question your abilities, despite your accomplishments, and feel like an imposter in your own life? Are you tired of feeling constantly sad or angry, unable to identify the triggers behind these emotions, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and helpless? Life can feel like an uphill battle when anxiety takes over, and those intrusive thoughts become an unwelcome, constant companion.

I have a passion to help children and families. I bring with me 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist working with children with developmental disorders and sensory processing disorders. I pursued becoming a counselor because I saw how families struggled to meet the needs of their children, and I witnessed the impact on the family system. It is my hope to be able to support families more fully by utilizing counseling to create a foundation of healing and health. As a parent of three sons, I can understand and empathize with the joys and challenges parents face.

Recovery can simultaneously be the most rewarding and demanding part of your life. It can leave you feeling exposed and raw at the end of the day even though your recovery has shown you are resilient. Recovery from alcohol and other substances involves daily hard work and at times can feel monotonous. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other life struggles just seem to add to an already daunting process. The fear of relapsing into old habits and behaviors can be all-consuming and can cloud your reasons for exploring sobriety in the first place.

Are you feeling overwhelmed as a new mom? Are you used to "having it all together", or maybe your culture and other intersecting identities have made it taboo to ask for help? Do think about breaking generational cycles as a new parent? Perhaps your pregnancy is not what you expected, or you're feeling confused about why postpartum is not the blissful experience you once envisioned. Are you struggling to balance being a working parent and showing up authentically in other areas of your life?

Psychotherapy can help us reclaim our courage and authenticity, and create the conditions for durable change. I work with anxiety and depression, life transitions, loss, addictions, personal blocks and relationship issues. My practice is radically inclusive and honors all life paths. Psychotherapy allows one to better know and become better friends with oneself from the inside out, bringing new meaning and wholenes to life. The working bond we form allows for safety and groundedness when past traumatic experience or difficult loss arises.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
