Therapists in Somerset, NJ

I have experience working in Community-Based, Outpatient, and hospital mental health settings as a licensed professional counselor. I am currently at Eastern University for a Doctor of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy studies for a further degree. I have a passion for working with teens, adults, and older adults to assist them in developing and finding healthy coping skills when dealing with stressors, including life transitions. My areas of expertise and special interest include depression, anxiety, coping skills, interpersonal conflict, racial identity, and stress management.

If you have been stuck, or are unhappy, depressing, lonely, anxious and need someone to vent your feelings/frustrations to and process what you are going through. Or If you know that you have mental health issues of anxiety, depression, ADHD or OCD, among others and are looking for a mental health therapist to that you can talk and collaborate with to help you overcome your problems, you have come to the right person.

Have you been feeling stuck with your negative emotions? Do you still feel sadness and emotional pain after years of treatment? Does it seem that no one understands your problems and that you feel “alone”? There is no simple formula to solve unwanted and unresolved emotions. I work with chronic anxiety and trauma, including generational trauma. In my practice, I emphasize the mind and body connection and incorporate Eastern philosophy to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

I am accepting new clients via Telehealth only at this time. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience. I have extensive experience in helping and supporting clients with a different range of mental health issues and life challenges. I provide psychotherapy in both English and Japanese. I have extraordinary experience working with people of Asian descent.

If you are feeling that you need and/or want to change something for the better, that is wonderful! It means that you are already one step ahead and very resilient. If you don’t know how to change and what to change, you don’t need to worry. I am here to guide you throughout your journey in order to build a more satisfying and peaceful life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey who provides individual psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults in English and Korean. I specialize in treating relational difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma (emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and neglect), as well as stress and trauma related to immigration, racial and ethnic identity, as well as other identity issues. My approach to therapy is integrative, utilizing elements from various modalities, such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
