Therapists in Trenton, NJ

I believe that each individual is unique, and that compassion, trust and understanding are the foundations of a helping relationship. In my practice, I have helped children, adolescents and adults deal with depression, anxiety, ADHD, learning differences, questions of sexual or religious identity, and more. Together, we can understand the roots of the pain and suffering you are experiencing and help you work toward a better life.

My approach to therapy is practical With over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults I focus my energy with clients on the present. I help my clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are creating difficulties for them. I will help you use skills you already have or develop new techniques for managing difficulties in your life. If issues from the past are keeping you from managing your present life we will work together to neutralize issues from the past, so you can manage current life stresses with current, more effective techniques.

One of the life lessons I have learned through my practice and life experiences is that we may know what the next right thing may be, but getting there oftentimes requires support, guidance, and self-trust. I truly believe we are all doing the very best we can with our present skill sets. Sometimes we may already have existing support systems and still may not know which path to choose. Other times we feel alone in moving forward and confused about if our choices are “right.” This is where I am hoping to help support you. I am a believer in the team effort.

Anxiety is a part of being human, but when chronic worry, panic attacks, unwanted and intrusive repetitive thoughts, behaviors and compulsions take over, you may need new strategies and professional support. For over 28 years, I have worked with people of all ages who experience these symptoms, as well as those with ADHD, compulsive eating, neurodiversity, perfectionism and low self esteem. I offer a practical approach to recovering from compulsive and binge eating & managing symptoms of anxiety, OCD and ADHD. I partner with you to offer both a path to developing insight as well as tools for the behavioral changes you envision.

Worried moms & frazzled dads, look no further! Maybe your child is anxious, sad, angry, or acting out. You've tried empathy, rewards, punishments, extra attention, special privileges. You've read books, consulted parenting blogs, & asked other parents for advice. Whatever you try, it may even work for a few days but then all the old problems come right back. Maybe your boy wants to dress like a girl and it's freaking you out. Maybe your teen declares "I'm queer"--what does that even mean? Let's add the stress of the pandemic and you're exhausted, frustrated, and worried about your child's future.

After 28 years working with children, teens and adults who exhibit anxiety, depression, ADHD and anger issues, I am clear that true therapeutic change can be accelerated through a combination of traditional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques and brain-based interventions. My utilization of EFT acupressure , Brainspotting and the Havening Techniques have reduced therapy time for the treatment of ADHD, anxiety and have given people TOOLS that they can utilize outside of the therapy office.

Every person is unique. I pride myself in meeting you where you are currently at, find what works best for you, and creating a plan together that will best improve YOUR mental health.

As a first-generation Asian-American born to immigrant parents, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and an advocate for the Deaf community, I believe that an individual’s cultures and communities are key factors in their self-actualization.

Adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal struggles, or needing to look inward are compelling reasons to seek therapy. As a therapist with 25+ years of experience, I establish a confidential, trusting relationship and help individuals, couples, and families cope and move forward. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and transparent, informed by advanced training in treating trauma, evidence-based Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT) and family therapy.

I have over 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate difficult times, confusing and debilitating feelings, and complicated relationships.

I believe that being genuine with clients is essential; in my office you will find a healing conversation, not talking to a stone wall.

My goal is to help facilitate change through a client-centered approach. I am driven by the process to assist you with a making healthy changes and growth that you need to be successful in the society we all co-exist. These changes will promote and encourage personal growth as well as coping skills needed in-order to successfully make these changes.
