Serving the Capital Region, New York City and the surrounding areas. I provide Telehealth and in-person sessions. In my practice, I play a crucial role in helping clients navigate the complexities of mental health challenges and various life transitions, including trauma/PTSD and minority experiences. Specializing in gender dysphoria and the intricate processes of transition, I provide dedicated support to individuals navigating these unique journeys. In recognizing the diversity of human relationships, I work with clients across various relationship forms, including those engaged in non-monogamous dynamics.
Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic rapport is often at the heart of effective therapy. I frequently draw from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and EFT, all grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based framework. I strive to meet clients where they are and support them in setting tangible, personalized goals that align with their values and needs.
Your feelings and emotional needs truly matter. We all have the ability to heal, but sometimes we just haven’t had the right tools or space to do it. I’m here to offer that space—to walk alongside you as you explore who you are and work toward the life you want to live.
Counseling can also be provided through Mandarin upon request.
