When working with me, we'll collaboratively work on learning new skills together to challenge and/or change old patterns of thinking and doing.
Life is not an easy road. New worries come with every stage and it can feel helpless to face those challenges on your own. I am dedicated to helping clients with anxiety, ADHD, depression, managing new changes and stress, and improving self-esteem. If you want to make a change, are motivated, and are ready to work, I'd love to be able to help. I hope to offer my clients a safe space to explore themselves in-depth without fear of judgment and work together to bring about lasting change.

I am a NY licensed social worker, who completed my education in Boston. I speak both English and Cantonese. As someone who grew up in a NYC traditional immigrant family, hard work was emphasized and taught. These experiences helped me develop a unique bicultural perspective and approach to help people from multiple cultures, different upbringings, or beliefs. I believe it is very important to have a person to talk to and seek guidance from who understands one’s culture and speaks one's language for our everyday conflicts, struggles, or stresses within work, family, education, and community.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?

When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.

When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?

It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.

What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?

Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.

Are there medications for learning disabilities?

Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
