Therapists in New York, NY

Whether you're seeking comfort, clarity or empowerment, I'm here to compassionately witness your journey while offering guidance and support. I'm skilled at assisting clients in untangling emotional knots, rewriting internal narratives, cultivating post-traumatic growth, increasing confidence and sense of well-being in work, play and relationships. I have experience in serving these populations: highly sensitive people (HSPs); Asians and Asian-Americans, immigrants, anyone who is seeking to understand and increase their emotional intelligence.

I passionately enjoy working with diverse people “from all walks of life”— professionals, essential workers, parents, students, immigrants, artists, LGBTQA+ community members, caregivers, and allies to people experiencing medical or mental health issues. In therapy, we can appreciate your emotions, problem solve and cope with daily issues, change “undesirable” behaviors, cultivate physical and mental wellness, pursue life/work goals and satisfaction, and practice effective communication skills for interpersonal relationships.

I have a passion serving immigrants, expatriates, international students, the LGBTQ+ community and the marginalized, and I have worked closely with these populations over the years.
