I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NY, NJ) and psychotherapist with more than two decades of experience providing counseling, therapy and consultation to people struggling with trauma, grief and loss, depression and anxiety. I help people develop confidence, identify strategies for coping and attain inner strength. My practice is founded on psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. As an Asian American woman of color and daughter of immigrant parents, I have a holistic understanding of how race, culture, gender, economic background history and systematic oppression impacts mental health and wellness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is focused on what your current challenges and stressors are, and what you would like therapy to help you with. I also explore what is working well, and any other barriers and strengths which impact your daily life. From there we discuss a plan for the upcoming sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My expertise is based on specialized educational training and extensive experience working with people of diverse backgrounds. My approach is non-judgmental and personalized. My experience with healing and wellness strategies offers a wealth of knowledge, understanding and increased empathy.
