Hi, I’m Shirley, a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. I work with youth and adults who are navigating stress, transitions, identity questions, and the emotional impact of family, cultural, and societal expectations. Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time, or returning after a break, I aim to offer a space that feels steady, thoughtful, and supportive. I see therapy as a place to slow down, make meaning of your experiences, and cultivate greater alignment between who you are, what you carry, and how you want to move through the world. I welcome your story and look forward to exploring it together.
Our first session is an opportunity for me to learn about you and what feels most present in your life. I will pay attention to the broader contexts of your past (family, culture, relationships, and history), and there is no expectation to share everything at once. Your story can unfold naturally over time.
As an Asian American therapist, I am especially attuned to how culture, race, immigration, and social inequities can live in the mind and the body. I integrate mindfulness and somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with themselves in ways that feel grounded and sustainable.
