Welcome! I am a NY licensed, IFS Certified psychotherapist and consultant offering a safe, respectful and strengths perspective environment. I view therapy as a shared journey in which I bring my compassion, professional knowledge and understanding along to assist you in your own path of self discovery, growth and healing. My approach is non-pathologizing , self empowering, compassionate with a sensitivity to cultural difference. I am currently offering Tele-therapy sessions through zoom and/or phone. I look forward to being part of your journey!

The burdens of life may become too heavy for us to carry alone or the pain too great to sustain in silence. Painful relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved past experiences can impair our ability to bounce back from difficulties. I will strive to co-create with you a therapeutic relationship based on trust, hope and respect, and in which you are in charge at every step of the process. I will help you uncover your inner strengths and capacities for growth and healing. Together we will discover the nature and the source of the obstacles you face.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed by something in your life? Do you feel conflicted between parts of yourself? Are you frightened by something that others seem to do easily? I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma.

Regardless of what you are dealing with, I believe in the potential to harness your inner resources to heal and grow. Connecting deeply with the right therapist can help you get to where you want to be. When you become more aware of what is going on consciously and unconsciously in your mind and body, you can be more effectual, less anxious and/or depressed, and have more energy and joy in your life. As I get to know you and we create a safe and meaningful relationship, we can make fundamental changes that will have a lasting effect.

Today, life often presents us with an unsettling tension between overwhelming uncertainty or loss, and a relentless demand to be productive, happy, and to have a strong sense of identity or purpose. Whether one is exploring psychotherapy due to crisis, impasse, troubling symptoms, or relational concerns, all people can benefit from a space where they can make meaning of their experiences and thoughts in a collaborative way. Though psychodynamic treatment requires vulnerability and curiosity, it is an opportunity for transformative self-exploration and healing that will be contained in a space of attentive listening and care.

I am a bilingual Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years of experience both as a therapist and clinical supervisor, treating anxiety, depression, PTSD and other life issues. I understand that seeking help can be a difficult step. I will listen to your concerns attentively and with care to define your expectations and goals for treatment. I believe lives can be improved, and my optimism stems from witnessing clients change relational interactions, emotional responses, and creating more satisfying life's narratives. My approach is guided by psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, problem-solving principles.

Are you experiencing low mood, lack of motivation, low self-esteem or negative thoughts? Is your anxiety and worry getting in the way of experiencing life to the fullest? Are you going through a difficult transitional time like becoming a new parent, starting college or going through a separation or a divorce? Or perhaps you are you a survivor of trauma seeking healing and guidance?

Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

As a clinical psychologist with 7 years of experience, my primary goal has been to meet the needs of each unique individual I have had the opportunity to work with. My diverse training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Trauma-focused treatments allows me to tailor treatment for each client. I often work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and stress management, taking on a collaborative, interactive approach. If you are considering therapy, please feel free to call or email me and I would be happy to set up a phone consultation.

People often feel alone with their problems. Your inner world can feel very different from how others see you. Privately you may feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed with life's challenges. You may be unhappy with how your life is going generally or with specific things about yourself or your relationships. Perhaps painful/traumatic experiences from your past are continuing to trouble you. Your feelings may lead to difficulty with intimacy, work, self-image, sleep, drugs/alcohol, eating, sex, or motivation. These are the kinds of problems I hear about often from people I see for psychotherapy. Together we can work to improve your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York and New Jersey.

I am a psychotherapist with over 17 years of clinical experience. I see individuals from diverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to, Asian Americans who deal with various internal and external conflicts. Facing difficult life transitions may result in depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck. I provide a secure space where individuals can search for self-understanding, gain a capacity to bear loneliness and uncertainty of life, and deepen a sense of relatedness. Through dyadic processes, I help them work through early attachment patterns and intergenerational traumas that may reoccur and complicate current life situations.

Life gets hard at times with increasing demands and a finite amount of resources. As creatures of habit, we tend to get stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle. My clients come to me with a desire for REAL change. They may be managing long-standing mental health problems and/or new and chronic medical conditions. They also seek to improve their relationships and find out what makes their life worth living. In the end, my clients appreciate introspection and understanding the past, but believe that actual concrete change is needed.

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

Depression, Anxiety Trauma, Stress, and other problems that rob you of your ability to enjoy life do not discriminate. Are you struggling to "Keep It All Together" while feeling the weight of your everyday problems? Are you "Tired of Being Tired? when trying to control your negative emotions and thoughts as you once did? Do you ask yourself the painful question, "What is wrong with me"? You feel alone, misunderstood and that no one really listens or understands how your issues affect you. People who care but feel powerless to help you might even say, " You Can Get Over It" in their efforts to help you.
