Change and life transitions can be difficult and scary. You don't have to go through them alone. COVID has affected everyone and their emotions. We have all been challenged to live our lives differently. Are there more family members living at home? Has your job changed? Are your children learning virtually now? Do you have a family member in hospital or nursing home that you can't visit as often as you would like? You may find yourself anxious or depressed. Your self esteem may be wavering. You may feel lonely. You don't have to be alone with any of this. I can help.

Grounded and raised in a Chinese immigrant and Vietnamese refugee family, my roots and experiences have amplified my passion to address care in communities of color.

You are more than just a person embedded in an institution and your emotionality is cared for.

I help stressed out professional women who feel undervalued at work and overly-responsible at home regain their confidence and enthusiasm for life. Despite being smart and kind, they suffer, usually in silence. When they first come to therapy, their self-esteem is at rock bottom, they are becoming resentful in their relationships, and are having trouble enjoying the good things in their life. Friends tell them be grateful, which makes them feel guilty. They wake up at 3 am, stressed about the day to come or reliving past mistakes. Their identity as a confident professional and caring family member is tanking.

I believe everyone deserves a warm, safe space to process life's experiences! I will work with you in a collaborative manner that often involves education, encouragement, humor, and careful listening. Together, we will connect to your emotional experience, explore why certain patterns of thinking and behaving exist, heal wounds of the past, and create meaningful change for you. My focus is on supporting teens and young adults to compassionately navigate things like anxiety, depression, trauma, life stressors/transitions, self worth, identity, and relationships.

Have you have found yourself struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, using substances more than before, relationship trouble, work issues, coping with a loss or a family member with addiction issues, or other life stressors? I would like to help you feel better and have better quality of life by learn new coping strategies for your concerns and express yourself effectively.

Buongiorno & Good Morning! Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of feelings, learning how to manage them, and being able to find healthy ways to express your inner self. Therapy is a safe space and confidential process that through time, consistency and work together will allow you to identify and develop a healthy voice to express difficult feelings. Connection and Bonding in therapy promote resiliency, stimulating and feeding the mind. Feeling heard, being seeing, feeling that we have a purpose in life is a vital, indispensable healing and nurturing process of psychotherapy.

Therapy is the gift of time set aside each week to pause, acknowledge how you’re feeling, and connect with yourself in a deeper way. In a time of unprecedented levels of fear, loss, and loneliness, it’s more important than ever to develop meaningful ways to be present with our emotions and learn new ways to soothe and nurture ourselves in the midst of painful feelings.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

I am licensed in MA and NY. I am straightforward, helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living in line with their values and priorities. I provide treatment that is founded on evidence based principles, meaning that I base treatment on knowledge gleaned from research and science while allowing for flexibility to accommodate to the individuals with whom I work. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework. Balancing acceptance of our experiences and channeling our strengths towards behavior change is, I find, the most useful path forward.

You may be here because your life is feeling pretty messy right now, overwhelming, and hard. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and you don’t know how to get unstuck.
