(she/her)
Hi, I’m Anna, a Licensed Therapist in New York. If you’re feeling anxious, drained, or like you’re carrying a lot on your own, you don’t have to do it alone. I believe healing begins when we feel genuinely seen. In our work together, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, make sense of your emotional and nervous system responses, and build practical coping skills that fit your life. My style is collaborative, focused on emotional regulation, self-awareness, and strengthening self-confidence over time. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, respect each person’s values and beliefs, and provide therapy in both Mandarin and English.
In the first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to change or improve. You don’t need to have everything figured out. This is a space to share at your own pace, ask questions, and begin building trust. We’ll talk about current challenges, what has or hasn’t worked in the past, and what support may feel most helpful right now. We’ll also begin identifying goals and approaches that feel realistic and meaningful.
Clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and attentive. I create an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment, while helping clients develop practical tools to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and navigate stress more effectively. I value feedback and adjust the therapeutic approach to ensure sessions feel supportive, relevant, and responsive. My goal is to help clients build resilience, confidence, and self-trust.
I work with adults who are feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, going through life transitions, or struggling with relationship challenges. If you’re looking for a space to explore your experiences, build coping skills, and feel more confident in yourself, I’m here to support you. Taking this step takes courage, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I look forward to meeting you!
Integrative
I use an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs, goals, and life experiences. Somatic-informed and evidence-based techniques are incorporated to create flexible, individualized treatment plans. This approach supports a collaborative and responsive therapeutic process that evolves with each client’s growth and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. This approach focuses on creating positive change by challenging unhelpful thinking, developing practical coping skills, and tracking progress toward personal goals.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients build skills in managing emotions, improving relationships, and handling stressful situations. This approach focuses on practical strategies, mindfulness, and consistent practice to create lasting change and support personal growth.
Strength-Based
I help clients identify and build on their existing strengths and resources, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. My approach focuses on collaboration, resilience, and practical strategies tailored to each individual.
