Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or the impact of trauma or painful past experiences can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a licensed therapist in New York City, offering personalized in-person and remote therapy to support you through life’s challenges. I utilize psychodynamic, Sandplay, DBT, and mindfulness practices to help clients break unhelpful cycles and discover new ways of being and connecting in life. Additionally, I offer short-term EMDR for clients who are looking to supplement their current individual talk therapy.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in trust, helping you gain clarity and create meaningful change. I explore how cultural, societal, and systemic influences shape self-perception and relationships, with specialized experience working with the AAPI community, biracial/multiracial individuals, and transracial adoptees.
I aim to approach all of my clients with empathy and authenticity, and work to meet you where you are in the therapy process. I'm a believer in building on your inherent strengths, inviting joy and humor into sessions when appropriate, and celebrating your wins. Please contact me if you are interested in working towards your goals together.
