It can be intimidating and nerve-wracking to seek out therapy. But in doing so, you are already taking the first big step towards healing and taking good care of yourself. I believe that gaining insight about our past experiences and how they continue to influence our relationships, thinking, and emotional lives is an important aspect of the healing and growth process. I also strongly believe in the experiential and relational aspects of therapy where we work collaboratively to understand how our therapeutic relationship informs the work and what it can tell us about you.

For over 17 years I have worked with adults, children, and teens, providing a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental approach to address issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, life transitions, and more. I offer an integrative approach combing various therapeutic modalities with the creative arts which helps you connect to your fullest potential and find your voice. By combining expressive arts with talk, we can make progress towards your goals even when it feels difficult to find the right words. My younger clients usually make art regularly, while my older clients often choose to do so more sporadically.

I am a Licensed Social Worker and have a certificate in Violence Against Women and Children. I received my Bachelors in Family and Child Studies from Montclair State University, and my Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University. I have experience working with individuals, couples, groups, and families in various mental health settings. My therapeutic model combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I understand that all clients come from different backgrounds, and therefore believe in using techniques that are specific and accommodating to individual clients.

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Footprints began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychological and interpersonal challenges in life, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, life transition, relationship problems, and developmental disorders. I believe that psychotherapy is a process in which client and therapist collaborate in order to help client to improve self-understanding, overcome painful emotions, and discover new and widened perspectives about himself/herself, others, and life. I facilitate client's discovery and development of balanced and integrated personality so that he/she can transcend his/her psychological conflicts.

Life has become an endless string of chores. You've gotten good at smiling on the outside, but internally you're just going through the motions. The loneliness, exhaustion, and lack of motivation are eating at you. Despite the well-meant advice from friends and family members you still feel stuck, unable to live your life fully. You know you desperately need to find meaning and purpose, but you barely know how you got here, much less how to begin fixing it. Symptoms of depression are often related to traumatic experiences.
