Want to Improve Performance? Be Happier? Reduce Stress? Progress in Relationships? Reach Goals? Optimizing Mental Health is a Must. When Living in the New York of Today, balancing Work, Relationships, Finances, Life Changes, Education, and more can be stressful. You may be struggling with marginalized identity due to Culture, Class, Ethnicity, Gender, Sexuality, Immigration Status, Socioeconomic Status, and more. Underlying Problems may be weighing on your Psyche. Whatever your concern is, working on your Mental Health is at least part of if not the whole Solution. Take Control of your Life by Committing to Therapy.

Life can present with many challenges, involving navigating personal and interpersonal issues, managing goals, or simply trying to make sense of the world. As a clinical psychologist extensively trained in psychotherapy with adults, I work with individuals struggling with these issues. I have a passion for working with marginalized and underserved populations, in particular ethnic and sexual minorities. I focus on evidence based treatment, with an integrative focus on meeting you wherever you are. This involves helping to organize and focus what your treatment goals are, and clearly defining what, for you, is success.

Therapy can empower you by affirming your strengths and expanding your capacity to deal with problems more effectively. In short, therapy can lead to a more fulfilling life. Our mission is to provide affordable, quality care to all those who make up our diverse and vibrant community. For the past fifty years, we have built our reputation by providing individualized psychotherapy in a warm, supportive, empathic, authentic, and compassionate environment.

We have seasons in our lives that are filled with stress, anxiety, sadness, guilt, disappointment, grief, and even hopelessness. It can be overwhelming, getting stuck in a place where we cannot see a way forward, unable to change unwanted and repeated behaviors, where no one seems to understand or able to help, feeling frustrated, unmotivated, discouraged, alone, and even ashamed. Or you may be going through transitions, significant changes in work, family, relationships, and are understandably overwhelmed with uncertainty and feelings of loss. If this has been your experience, there is help to walk towards healing and renewal.

I was trained at Yale and Columbia University. I was a professor at Columbia University and Stanford University (15 years). Currently, I am a Distinguished Professor at the California School of Professional Psychology. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA and NY and I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and on extremely challenging issues. In addition to my clinical experiences, my knowledge from many years of teaching also enables me to work with your unique preferences and personality. I focus on your strengths to maximize your gains in therapy.

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.

Are you struggling with stress or anxiety as you navigate your daily decisions? Do you feel pressured by society and the expectations of your family and culture? You try so hard, and get so far, but it still feels like it doesn’t even matter? I want to help you explore these barriers preventing you from feeling nourished and fulfilled. As we build our partnership, let’s discover how to help you thrive while also recognizing how far you’ve come. Let’s understand any guilt and shame through compassion for self. We can set SMART goals that will allow you to feel accomplished and proud. Together, let’s do the work to make it work.
