Asian Therapists in Malden, MA

I am passionate about helping foreign-born professionals, first generation Americans, young adults, and women learn how to manage the stresses of daily life. Whether it's ongoing depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, health issues, job-related stress, addiction, or difficult behaviors in children and adolescents; I believe you can overcome these challenges and live a full and rewarding life. I approach your problems with curiosity and kindness as I believe you are the expert on your own experience. I will work with you to help guide you, learn new tools, and make positive choices that fit for you, your family, and your life.

If you are struggling with parts of your identity, sexuality, trauma, grief or mental illness, know that you are not alone. It is an honor and a privilege to bear witness to your truth and story.

Our program at New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (Boston and Los Angeles) offers specialized, affirmative, compassionate, and culturally responsive care for individuals and families struggling with treatment refractory OCD and related disorders. We offer Telehealth, in-home, community, and school-based services to support you where you need it most. We use a strengths-based, affirmative approach that includes ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), to help every client build a rich and meaningful life they can love.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

I love working with people to explore ways to overcome challenges in life together. Many of my clients struggle with managing depression, anxiety, gender identity, emotion regulation and expression, dysfunctional family communication, traumatic experiences, as well as acculturation difficulties (you know, having trouble to "fit in" a new culture or a new environment). As many wise people said; if you are wonder about having a therapist, you should get one (me or someone else)!

Welcome! Do you have trouble loving and accepting yourself? Do you find it hard to feel a sense of belonging and connection with others? Therapy can help you to feel better about yourself, to feel freer to be your authentic self, and to form healthy attachments. I enjoy helping struggling couples and individuals who are experiencing: *Marginalization, oppression, exclusion *Conflict between gender/sexual identity and spiritual/religious beliefs *Breakups *Difficult relationships that trigger shame *Chronic low self-esteem. I believe that behind all feelings and behaviors are stories which make sense.

May 22 Update: Current Openings (Mon/Thurs). I help those struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. In a fast-paced culture, we often feel pressured to achieve, impress, and perform. It is essential to have a space to slow down and explore challenging aspects of our lives, be it within ourselves, our relationships, academic and professional realms, or past life experiences that continue to have an impact today. Therapy provides a safe environment to identify and work through these challenges and learn skills that can shift our thoughts and behaviors in a healthy direction.

Accepting New Clients (Telehealth and In-Person). I understand the weight of anxiety and depression—the constant worry, negative self-talk, and isolation. But there's hope. I can assist you in achieving your goals of managing anxiety, boosting self-esteem, and embracing new experiences. Together, we'll identify triggers and empower you to overcome barriers in relationships or personal growth. Whether it's pursuing new opportunities, building relationships, or simply feeling good enough, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. My therapeutic style is centered around compassion and collaboration. I truly believe each individual has inner strength and resilience, but sometimes it can be difficult to access these on our own.  Together, you and I will explore issues, learn skills and challenge thoughts that hinder you from being your confident and whole self. I believe in a creative approach while offering constructive, real life solutions you can use outside of the office.

When you improve your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, you are “on the path” to a happier, healthier life. I’d like to help you along that path. Together, we can explore a range of approaches: whatever works. But – so you know where I’m coming from – in the end, it’s always about relationships. I’d like to meet you.

Are you a parent of a high-achieving adolescent or college student who seems to be withdrawing from school and from their friends? COVID created treacherous hurdles that high school and college students had to navigate including lack of socializing with peers and not having adequate support from teachers and inadequate learning opportunities for them to develop into confident students. Competition is now relentless due to 24 hour access to social media and kids just don't have enough down time to unplug. Are you a veteran of any of the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq?

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and enjoy working with couples and individuals on relationship and other issues such as communication, conflict resolution, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and depression. I have years of experience at various clinical settings. Other than my outpatient therapy work, I have an extensive experience providing wraparound service for families with children who have severe emotional and behavioral needs. I have worked for Elder Protective Services with elders who are neglected and abused. I have also provided psychiatric evaluation at emergency services and home-based family stabilization work for families with children who are in psychiatric crisis.
