Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in New York, NY

Therapy can serve as a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space to work through challenges in your everyday life. As a 1.5 generation immigrant, I specialize in working with BIPOC folx, specifically Asian-Americans, young working professionals, and mothers in the pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum period. As a psychotherapist and music therapist, my approach is warm, supportive, and caring. I practice from an attachment-based, psychodynamic, strength-based, and trauma-focused framework utilizing a combination of CBT, DBT, parts work, as well as EMDR, and will tailor my approach based on your needs and goals in therapy.

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit." ~B.K.S. Iyengar * * * A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body and a healthy soul. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your life-story, and identifying and overcoming the blockages to a peaceful way of being. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to find balance and restore a sense of wholeness and perspective on our purpose in life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space in my practice for this to occur.

Are you struggling with past trauma that's currently impacting you, anxiety, burn out, people pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, a harsh inner critic, or your relationship w/ alcohol?

Applying a cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach, I work with clients to help them better understand and resolve the specific barriers that are keeping them from leading healthier, happier lives. I believe that a strong rapport between therapist and client is the most essential ingredient to a successful therapy experience. As such, I work to foster a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate space where change is made and goals are reached.

Sometimes life's challenges, transitions, or conditions are more than we can handle. Feelings of sadness or fear overwhelm. We realize that the way we are living is not how we want to live but are unable to make changes on our own. Unhealthy relationships, dealing with disappointment or loss, feeling alone, or struggling with an inner critic, are a few examples of what leads people to reach out to me. In my practice I largely employ the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as my framework but also draw techniques from CBT, EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, when needed.

I believe that for therapy to be effective it must be tailored to each individual’s circumstances. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from modalities such as DBT, CBT, psychodynamic and attachment therapy.
