Are you new to therapy or considering returning? I’m so glad you’re here. I'm a fully licensed therapist in NY and NJ, and I specialize in supporting Asians and Asian Americans navigating relationship struggles, cultural and generational conflicts, identity questions, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Having grown up between two different cultures myself, I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel—especially for second-generation and 1.5-generation immigrants. The pressure to succeed, family expectations, and unspoken cultural rules can be hard to untangle alone.

As an Asian female therapist, I bring cultural insight and clinical expertise to our work. I don’t just listen—I actively help you explore patterns, gain clarity, and build practical tools. Using CBT and EMDR, I create a personalized care plan that’s rooted in your unique experiences and aligned with your goals.

I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming and that’s completely fine. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. You are welcome to submit a request on Psychology Today or visit my website to schedule a free consultation call. I’ll respond within 48 hours.
