Psychologist, PsyD

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of overwhelming anxiety, PTSD, trauma, emotional pain, and relationship issues. Are you feeling anxious about the future or stuck in the past? Do you put on a 'calm and collected' front so that others don't see you struggle? Do worries keep you up at night? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you've come to the right place. Often what keeps us stuck in distress are unhelpful beliefs or old patterns of emotions. But healing can happen when we listen closely and try something new.

If you are the one who always keeps it together, the problem solver, the strong one, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally drained, therapy can help. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals and couples carrying childhood trauma, relationship stress, family patterns, or cultural expectations that make it hard to put themselves first without guilt.

When you're overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of self-criticism, or simply exhausted from holding it all together, it can be hard to see a way forward. I specialize in helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, and burnout, especially when those challenges are tangled up with difficult transitions or long-standing relationship stress. Whether you're dealing with emotional overload, chronic stress, or an inner critic that won't quiet down, therapy can help you understand what's beneath the surface and make room for something new.

Psychologist, PsyD

New York, NY 10001
I received special training in schema therapy, CBT, exposure therapy, and CBIT.
Do results matter to you? Everyone I see has OCD, Panic, Agoraphobia, PTSD, or Social Anxiety. These conditions are extremely treatable with the RIGHT kind of Drug-Free CBT Exposure therapy. I aim to eliminate symptoms, not just treat or manage them. Clients are liberated to move on with life, get married, prevent divorce or firing, have families, advance careers, or return children to school, often in the middle of therapy. Therapy doesn't stop at the door. I contact my clients after every session to check on them. I do teletherapy in 43 states, and in-person in NY and NJ. By the end, many forget why they came to me.

I am passionate about serving the Asian community. You deserve a safe, understanding space to be yourself. Maybe seeking help outside the family feels culturally taboo or past bullying has left you feeling like you don’t belong. You may feel pressure to prove your worth, leading to self-criticism, perfectionism, or difficulty expressing anger, grief, or affection. These struggles can affect friendships and intimacy—but you don’t have to face them alone.

LLS Therapies supports individuals, couples, and students in high expectation environments who carry a great deal internally. Many appear composed and capable on the outside while privately navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or a sense of disconnection. Many are the “responsible ones” who carry emotional pressure silently. If vulnerability feels foreign, you're not alone. We offer a calm, structured space to explore what's beneath the surface at a pace that honors your autonomy. We serve CT and NY via telehealth.

In my practice, I believe that the most profound work happens when you feel truly seen and understood without judgment. I work with individuals who feel like they are constantly navigating a world that wasn't built for them; whether that’s due to the weight of past trauma, the daily "static" of ADHD, or the heavy, cycling exhaustion of anxiety and depression.

I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood trauma, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), attachment wounds, and the lasting effects of childhood neglect and abuse. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning adults who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, low self-worth, or feeling disconnected from themselves.

Many are high-achieving Asian American professionals navigating fear of failure, overthinking, people-pleasing, dating and relationship struggles, and the lasting effects of growing up with emotionally immature or unpredictable parents. I offer in-person therapy in Manhattan and telehealth across New York, New Jersey, and California.

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, and I work with clients to create a space that feels grounded, thoughtful, and individualized. As a relational, integrative psychotherapist, I draw from evidence-based practices to support individuals navigating life transitions, identity development, and the emotional difficulties that accompany change. I often support clients facing fast-paced, competitive environments, including challenges around self-doubt, unrelenting standards, and the pressure to "have it all together." I aim to help make sense of these experiences while fostering self-understanding, resilience, and self-trust.
