Life can get messy, fast. One moment you think you know who you are and what you want, and the next you're questioning everything. Relationships, career, identity, and purpose—it can all start to feel heavy, confusing, and overwhelming. If you're in that space right now, trying to keep it together while figuring yourself out, you're not alone. I offer a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You can show up as you, even if that means unsure, burnt out, or in the middle of a breakdown. I’m not here to judge or fix you.

In a rapidly changing world, one can find it challenging to deal with feeling mad, afraid, sad or even glad! My aim is to help alleviate that pain. I use an integrative approach to understand your life experiences, feelings, and the reason for seeking counsel. I believe each person already has in them the potential to grow. A personal transformation through the process of psychotherapy can help facilitate this growth. Eventually, this will give you a greater understanding of yourself, others and the world around you.

Life gets rough – it can be overwhelming and difficult to manage at times. It may feel like no one is listening or understands the struggles you’re going through. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for you. You’ll have a voice to tell your story, express your emotions, and not feel judged. Everyone has their own unique experiences and although I may not have experienced your situation and circumstances, I'm willing to do the work and listen to everything you have to say. As a 1.5 gen Chinese-American, I also understand the difficulties of navigating through racism, family dynamics, clashing values, and identity.

The decision to enter into therapy can be overwhelming but finding a connection to the right therapist can change your life. I believe that the foundation of the therapeutic process is built on rapport. I understand that being vulnerable and sharing areas of your life can be difficult, and I am here to make that easier for you by collaborating with you to reach your desired goals. My style has been described as the antithesis of a note scratching, cliché, therapist.

My ideal client struggles with panic attacks, panic disorder, agoraphobia, or trauma-related anxiety. They feel trapped—avoiding places, bracing for the next attack, or haunted by past experiences. Many have tried therapy before and felt frustrated when it didn’t work. They need something structured, active, and effective. My approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with exposure therapy, and for trauma cases, I offer EMDR—an evidence-based treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and break the cycle of fear.

In a world where information flows endlessly, in a city as fast and restless as New York, how do we carve out a space just for ourselves? A quiet place where we can breathe deeply and find peace amidst the noise. We all have moments when we feel lost, when the world's weight makes us feel small. Times when we are down, unsettled, empty, or lonely - even when surrounded by others. We long for someone to talk to, someone who will listen without judgment, who will hold space for our thoughts and feelings.

Sports Performance Therapists

How does sports psychology work?

Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?

The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?

Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?

Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
