It can be scary, overwhelming, or even shameful to get help, however, this is the first crucial step in your healing process. You might be depressed, anxious, angry, or afraid, but what I’ve come to understand is every feeling is there to teach you something valuable. Feelings are gateways to your inner wisdom so you can see things clearly; they can guide you toward your true path and help you make better decisions for yourself. They are what make us human and allow us to connect to each other so we can have better relationships and therefore happier lives.

Life isn’t always easy - sometimes it can get you down and leave you in a space that is unfamiliar, or even scary. But life can also be brilliant, and I think the way to reach that point is to explore yourself and who you are. I aim to work with clients who are ready to take that step into living the lives that they want to; who are ready to face challenges that others, or even themselves, said they couldn’t get through. Therapy is about collaboration and I work from a person-centered approach, meaning, you set the tone and I'm here to support and offer guidance that align with you, your needs, and your goals.

Living with constant self-pressure or quiet self-blame can make it hard to slow down and feel worthy of care. Many of the clients I support are navigating identity shifts, relationship changes, academic or career transitions, or the experience of adapting to a new culture. I work with individuals, including Mandarin speakers, who want relief from anxiety or emotional heaviness and hope to develop a more authentic, grounded, and compassionate relationship with themselves.

Therapeutic change requires a trusting relationship within which thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored freely. As a seasoned therapist, I believe that the crises that bring us to the first therapy appointment can be the beginning of a process of self-exploration that leads to greater self-understanding and more effective problem solving. As we sit together, I help you reflect on what is going on in the present and how you got there. I pay close attention to patterns and themes that emerge and help you organize these so you can develop a narrative of your life that makes sense to you.

There are times we find ourselves struggling and straying further away from the life we want. We’re juggling daily demands, roles, and relationships, while just trying to keep it together.

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to freely explore and be curious about what has brought you here. We will work on deepening awareness, building skills, and making meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals - a therapy that enlightens and empowers.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.
