I specialize in supportive therapy that is female focused and empowering, offering a space to cultivate uncovered strengths.
My objective for therapy is simple, you present a purpose for your visit, we create a plan, and work together to achieve your goal at a pace you are comfortable with. YOU are the pilot in your life and my purpose is to help you build the confidence you need, to challenge the faulty thinking that reinforces the belief that you are merely a passenger.

I help career women and men attain emotional freedom by developing a work/life balance while processing past negative family and life experiences to gain acceptance and have safe, trusting, deeper relationships with their friends, partners, and loved ones.
Amidst the chaos of day-to-day life, you might bury yourself in work to avoid or take your mind off of unpleasant family situations. You are here because you have realized your anxiety is no longer a superpower to get things done; perfection is exhausting. Perhaps you are looking to have a deeper relationship with your child or partner or self. Perhaps you are newly navigating the stress of co-parenting or are a caretaker to a parent. You are likely an action-oriented woman or man looking to make changes in your life and have deeper relationships while setting better boundaries with toxic people who may still be in your life.

I am a first generation Chinese-American woman and understand the nuances of Asian culture, racism and the challenges of being a bridge between two worlds.
Life provides opportunity for joy, creativity, fulfillment and love. Sometimes it is tumultuous when one is faced with challenges, conflict or change. Are you searching for meaning, balance, resolution or understanding as you face all that is present in your life? Do you feel lost in the changes? Is something stirring in you to have more? In exploring and being present with your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, it allows for a reparative experience, release of the old patterns and open space for new possibilities. It also promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and integration.

I have treated clients with a wide range of issues, but I specialize in helping women to better understand and manage some of the "typical" life events that often cause distress but may go untreated. I am passionate about helping clients gain a better understanding of how early childhood experiences and family culture have impacted their current functioning and self-esteem, and how those play a part in their ability to manage life's milestones. Significant issues related to relationships, career, parenting, family and social interactions are so common, but are often ignored because they are "normal". Change is possible!

I am committed to supporting women navigating life transitions.
I believe that the best therapy holds up a mirror to help us see what we could not on our own. These moments of understanding are the building blocks of change. My goal as a therapist is to help create an awareness of patterns that are holding you back and find ways of moving forward through a collaborative treatment plan.

I am invested in working with black and brown populations, especially youth and women of color.
Fighting life’s many challenges can feel like a never ending battle, especially when feelings of hopelessness and frustration take over. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, or misunderstood or maybe you just want someone to talk to who listens and understands. You’re probably sick and tired of having to be “strong” all the time, and it’s left you feeling drained. You deserve to be heard—to be validated—to be seen.

I offer specialized counseling for women coping with infertility as well as emotional issues in pregnancy and postpartum such as attachment, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and relationship and life transitions.
Have you always dreamt about becoming a mother? Is it what you imagined it to be? You were told that all mothers are happy and perfect. In truth, motherhood is an emotional, complicated and compelling journey from conception, pregnancy, delivery, and into postpartum. No one tells you how hard it can be to actually get pregnant. Others seem to get it so easily, yet you struggle. When you are pregnant, instead of feeling endless joy, you feel sad, scared, angry or anxious. After the baby comes, instead of feeling confident as a new mother, you wonder all the time, what if you aren’t the perfect mother?

You’re a professional woman over 40 who is enterprising and introspective. Despite your achievements both personally and professionally, you still have nagging feelings of being "not good enough" that gnaw at you with every accomplishment or hurdle. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, overachieving, a deprivation or scarcity mindset, procrastination, anxiety, or multitasking to oblivion. You long to get to the root of these feelings and change that faulty narrative. You’re through with feeling “not good enough” and you're ready to find the right therapist to go on the journey with you to rewrite this narrative.

What type of Brooklyn mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Brooklyn?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
