Pacific Islander Therapists in Paramus, NJ

Welcome to a transformative space where healing is a collaborative journey. I specialize in guiding individuals who are motivated to explore the interconnected realms of their mind, body, and spirit. Ideal clients for me are those navigating challenges such as trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and a desire for personal growth. In this therapeutic relationship, we delve beyond surface-level symptoms, embracing a holistic approach. Our shared goal is to identify deep-rooted narratives, enhance coping skills, and build upon existing strengths. If you are seeking a path to healing and value harm reduction principles, welcome home.

Understanding why people suffer, how they change, and how to help them live more satisfying and gratifying lives is a fascinating, huge, and important undertaking. For this reason, finding a clinician with appropriate life experiences, training, humility, and willingness to learn what makes each person unique is one of the most difficult challenges for those seeking counseling/therapy today. I would like an opportunity to help you to live the life you have always wanted. "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

If you experienced trauma, anxiety, or abuse, you know how it negatively affects your relationships & other areas of life. As a licensed counselor & certified coach, I help people who feel alone, and believe there's no relief. If you want to stop being anxious, sad, & hypervigilant, I'd love to help you stop depression, trauma, or anxiety from intruding into your days and nights. I can help you start living life in the here and now rather than the past. I want to help you regain your life so you can have a healthy relationship with yourself and other people. I am currently accepting Individual and Group Clients.

Often when people are faced with life's challenges, they do not realize how strong they can be. I work with children and families who are struggling with the impact of divorce, learning disabilities, sudden or chronic illness, disability, trauma, loss, neglect or abuse. Challenges can be difficult but they can also lead us to new emotional growth. My strength-based approach will help you and/or your children grow closer together, heal emotionally and find inner resiliency. I am committed to navigating with you, side by side, to help you be the best you can be!

Everyone has a story of who they are that, they are either unwilling or having difficulty telling. I am here to help you with your narrative. Together we can create a narrative of your truth that is empowering, positive and enlightening. I have an approach that is sex positive, empowering and open minded. I look from a lens of intersectionality, which recognizes that a person’s race, nationality, religion, gender identity, class, sexual orientation and disability may be informing each other often creating a complex convergence of oppression.

As a licensed psychologist in NY and NJ, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults (Mon-Thurs: 9am-5pm). My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.

I specialize in helping adult individuals recover from trauma and addiction with talk therapy and EMDR. My clients have been through things like childhood neglect/abuse, intimate partner violence, assault, family conflict, or abuses within a faith community. Many also want to change their relationship with alcohol or drugs, or have been impacted by addiction. I'm here to help. I have extensive training in recovery work and trauma-informed care including EMDR, an approach that can reduce the triggering factors associated with traumatic memories.

Are you struggling to manage your inner feelings and all of the stressors in your life? You can overcome your obstacles with the right therapist. I enjoy working with people who, like myself, are trying to face the many feelings that are sometimes difficult to stay present with.

Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, starting therapy can be one of the most taxing and anxiety provoking things we can imagine. Many of us live day by day worried about what may happen or what has happened, and eventually it starts to consume how we think and behave. We start to lie to ourselves and others about what is happening, and we start to feel trapped and hopeless. Everyday seems to be a battle and we crave a release.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship

You may feel lost and confused. You don’t know what happened exactly, but you know you are unhappy, and you want your life to get better. Maybe a lot of things make you worried; maybe you are stressed; maybe you want to achieve certain things, but you simply can’t (yet). Or you may come to therapy somehow knowing what you want.

I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, unresolved issues, life-transition difficulties, family/relational problems, and grief and loss. While I have extensive experience working with individuals of Asian decent, they comprise only 30% of my clientele and I am well-rounded in treating individuals from various cultural and religious backgrounds. I am dedicated to bring genuine, compassionate, and evidence-based care to my clients. After a thorough assessment of my client's presenting concern and history, I collaborate with my client to formulate a treatment plan that is highly individualized.
