Great to meet you!

I value authenticity, curiosity, and compassion, and I work hard to create a space where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself.

I completed my clinical training and education in New York, earning my graduate degree from New York University. My early career and training took place in SoHo, where I worked with a wide range of clients navigating the intensity and complexity of city life. Those experiences shaped my understanding of how trauma, identity, culture, and relationships intersect—and they continue to guide my work today.

As an Asian American therapist, I bring a culturally informed perspective to the room. I understand the nuances of navigating multiple identities, intergenerational expectations, family dynamics, and the ways culture can both anchor and challenge us. I strive to create a space where all parts of your cultural story are welcomed and valued.

Professionally, I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation. I have extensive experience supporting young adults, creatives, professionals, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals processing childhood or relational trauma. As an EMDR-trained clinician, I integrate EMDR, somatic awareness, and insight-oriented therapy to help clients process their past and build more grounded, adaptive ways of moving forward.

Most importantly, you should know that therapy with me is collaborative. Your pace is respected, your experiences are honored, and your goals shape our work. My role is to offer support, expertise, and attunement as you move toward the healing, clarity, and self-understanding you deserve.

My approach to therapy

I’m a licensed therapist and EMDR-trained clinician dedicated to helping clients heal unresolved trauma, break old patterns, and reconnect with their authentic selves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that every person already carries the capacity for healing within them. Through EMDR and evidence-based talk therapies, I support clients in processing painful memories, reducing anxiety, and building emotional resilience. I strive to create a safe, grounded space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your path toward meaningful change.

Evidenced-based talk therapies to expect in sessions as well: Client-centered, CBT, psychodynamic, EFT, and narrative therapy techniques.

I don't believe one therapy style works with every situation and every single client.

What you can expect from me

Clients can walk away with a sense of what to further reflect on during the week. Clients can also expect to come to sessions with the type of support and response needed to best feel seen and validated.
