I received my master’s degree from Columbia University in the City of New York and am an independently licensed Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, with over 25 years of clinical experience. I would describe myself as energetic, empathic, and positive, with a good sense of humor. I believe in a client-centered approach and am committed to meeting my clients where they are in their lives. I am fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Taiwanese.
I work with teens (16 and up) and young adults navigating the uncertainties of our fast-paced world, relationship issues that often trigger emotional dysregulation, and the ongoing journey of discovering their identities. I also work with couples who struggle with effective communication and compromise, supporting them in gaining insight into their relationship and finding ways to maximize their partnership. Additionally, I work with individuals facing a variety of issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief and loss, intimate partner and domestic violence, relationship issues, gender dysphoria, OCD, and ADD/ADHD. I apply many evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities to support my clients, including CBT, CPT, and IFS.
I am committed to partnering with you in creating a safe environment where you can feel accepted, appreciated, and valued. Together, we can equip you with profound insight, self-awareness, and effective coping strategies that you can use when facing future challenges.
