My core values are compassion, dedication, and genuineness. I think that it’s so important to have a sincere interest in the welfare of others and to have a safe space where clients are met with compassion and never feel judged to share all parts of themselves. I believe that it is essential for clients to feel confident that they are under the care of a therapist who is committed to walking through their journey along with them.

I integrate talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic-based practices drawn from evidence-based approaches, including parts work ( IFS) and AEDP.
Do you feel like you’re stuck in survival mode, chronically stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe you’re looking to address painful memories and detangle complicated feelings, but don’t know where to start. Or perhaps you feel unfulfilled in your relationships, noticing familiar feelings like insecurity or resentment? Therapy provides us with the unique opportunity to gain clarity around our feelings, needs, and desires while exploring the roots of patterns that are no longer serving us. I have deep respect for the courage it takes to show up for ourselves in this way and believe we can do so with endless curiosity and compassion.

I utilize various approaches to understand you, including person-centered, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic.
Here’s what working together might look like: We take time to build comfort with each other so that you can share vulnerably knowing you won't be judged. I'll offer empathy and encourage you to identify your physical sensations, emotions, and needs. I'll also ask where in your life you'd like to make changes. Our work together will be collaborative—you’ll drive & I’ll be an attentive, caring passenger who will ask questions and give honest feedback. In other words: sometimes I'll listen, nod, and beam empathy; and I'll also have a conversation with you to bring your thoughts beliefs, fears, hopes, and patterns to light.

My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed — I use EMDR, IFS, CBT, and psychodynamic methods, and I fit the approach to the person.
Some experiences don't respond to talk alone — and some people have been carrying things for so long they've stopped believing relief is possible. If that's where you are, you're not broken. You may just need someone with the depth and training to work alongside you. I specialize in trauma, EMDR, life transitions, anxiety, and
depression for adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Italian, and I bring over 20 years of experience — including work with first responders and justice-involved clients — to every session.

I've always gravitated toward spaces where I can get to know people deeply and help them. I decided to specialize in OCD after working with many people who experienced OCD after trauma. I needed to understand the best way to help them manage their obsessions, which could be so distracting and consuming. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

I utilize methods from CBT, Narrative Therapy, DBT, MI, Internal Family Systems and others, but will tailor my approach to meet specific needs.
Each of us has unique strengths and skills, developed through their personal experiences and stories, but we can underestimate ourselves. When we encounter obstacles or feel overwhelmed, our own abilities can seem out of reach and we begin to practice negative thoughts towards ourselves and others. I am here to help you navigate those stressors and burdens, while supporting you towards gaining a deeper understanding of your own identity. It would be my privilege to provide you with a safe space to explore your narrative and to walk with you on your mental health journey!

Sometimes it feels hard to stay connected — to yourself, to your partner, or just to a sense of stability. Emotions can get big, relationships can feel complicated, and the past can still echo in ways that are hard to explain. Maybe anxiety shows up more than you’d like. Maybe the same arguments keep circling back, or certain patterns leave you feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unseen.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of it all — to sort through what’s happening, what matters most, and how to move forward with more clarity and authenticity in your life.

Therapy often begins when people notice they’re stuck in patterns of anxiety, shifting moods, or repeating relationship difficulties. This can show up across life stages. Young adults may feel overwhelmed by identity, independence, relationships, or career direction. Older adults may notice long-standing patterns resurfacing in relationships, work, or family dynamics. This can feel like exhaustion, shutting down, irritability, overthinking, or disconnection. It can be frustrating when efforts to manage things on your own don’t change the pattern. Therapy helps slow things down and understand what drives these experiences.

I lean into a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for structure, continuity and accessible tools, Eye Movement and Desensitization (EMDR) to trace current symptoms back to their roots and rewire old pathways, and Internal Family Systems ( IFS), to cultivate compassion for the many parts of self, to acknowledge and dissolve fears while we work towards greater integration.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from CBT, IFS, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and expressive art interventions.
I believe we all hold the strength and capacity to move forward, even when life feels overwhelming. At times, emotional pain, life transitions, and relationship challenges can leave us feeling stuck, uncertain, or painful. Therapy can serve as a source that help us explore those difficulties, gain clarity, and reconnect with our inner strengths.
We would create a safe, genuine, and inclusive space where you can bring your full self. We’ll move at your own pace, uncovering your strengths, making sense of your experiences, and finding a actionable path forward, with me walking alongside you every step of the way.

Meaningful therapy allows vitality, authenticity, and a sense of freedom to emerge. I help clients experience more of these vivid feelings of aliveness. To cultivate them, we first need to understand what is blocking them. Because humans are wired for survival, many protective adaptations: rigid “shoulds,” overthinking, perfectionism, emotional shutdown, or caretaking can become automatic patterns. These strategies often once served an important purpose, but over time they may limit peace, agency, and connection. My work integrates somatic regulation with insight-oriented psychotherapy, helping clients holistically.

Utilizing modalities such as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems ( IFS), I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs.
I use a variety of therapy approaches in my work. While my early training was in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am drawing mainly on the following approaches: 1. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) 2. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) 3. IFS (Internal Family Therapy). My clinical work is informed by Polyvagal Theory and attachment science.

As an EMDR-trained therapist, I like to view our work as a focused workout for your mind and emotions. Just as physical exercise strengthens your body, therapy helps nurture your mental well-being by engaging directly with the roots of your emotional challenges.

I integrate evidence-based therapies like ACT, EMDR, and IFS informed parts work to create a safe and supportive space for healing.
Do you feel ungrounded, like you're moving through life without ever feeling your real self? Navigating the invisible friction of a neurodivergent brain while balancing cultural or familial expectations can leave you feeling disconnected and tired. You want to stop performing and start living with true agency.
As a New York-born Taiwanese only child, I grew up shifting back and forth between NYC and Taipei, and two families. I understand the strain of bridging disconnected worlds. I use the steady presence of my nervous system to support you regulate, reprocess stories, and ground into your authentic and unique rhythm.

When words aren’t enough, healing can come through creativity, connection, and care. In therapy, I offer a space where creative expression honors your story and supports your healing. My approach is integrative and multidisciplinary, blending talk therapy with expressive arts to explore what words alone cannot capture. Through drawing, collage, movement, and storytelling, our sessions become a space to process what feels unseen or unspoken. Viewing each person through a systemic and holistic lens allows to understand the many layers of identity, experience, and meaning that shape who you are.

From a young age, we begin crafting the stories we live by—shaped by the people, places, and patterns around us. I believe healing begins when we’re given space to return to those stories with curiosity, safety, and the freedom to rewrite them in ways that feel more expansive. I work with children, adults, and new parents, and I’m especially passionate about supporting children and adults who have felt “othered” in their environment.

Everyone deserves a good life. Emotional wellness is an ability to cope effectively with life and build satisfying relationships with others. I believe the positive relational bond is characterized by personal warmth, empathy and acceptance. The positive relationship builds up the trust and encourages the self-disclosure. I will create a comfortable, supportive and reliable environment for clients where they feel more comfortable to explore their feelings, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves, set personal goals, work toward desired change and achieve the desired outcome.
