Are you or a loved one struggling with anxiety about schooI or work, and it feels like it's taking up more and more space in your life? Or perhaps you've been finding it difficult to communicate with loved ones about your emotions. I would love to help support you in these and other challenges. I am a psychologist at McLean Hospital and a Lecturer of Psychology at Harvard Medical School with expertise in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder. I strive to be warm and validating, while tailoring scientifically-supported treatments to each person.
I am extensively trained in empirically-supported treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I also have particular experience in working with Asian/Asian-American individuals in individual and family therapy, especially related to identity and family conflict.
At this time, I am providing CBT, ERP, and DBT-informed treatment. I provide individual therapy for children over age 8, adolescents, and adults, as well as family therapy and parent coaching. I have current openings during daytime hours! If you are interested in discussing treatment with me, contact me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consult!
