Our Team

As a queer first-generation Asian American, I am passionate about the ways in which I can advocate for mental health in all communities. Culture, environment, the multiple identities you hold, and the societal systems in place can all be significant contributors to the stressors you face. In exploring these factors collaboratively with you, I hope to empower you to recognize your strengths and to draw upon them.

I work with culturally inclusive, anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and strengths-based lenses. With expertise in various areas, including health, disabilities, racial identities, gender and sexual identities, anxiety, trauma, and relationships, I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions.

Let's embark on a transformative journey together! I'll be your guide, supporting your self-reflection and personal growth, while honoring your unique voice. We'll explore the roots of your struggles, set empowering goals, and develop practical tools for your daily life. I am committed to building a trusting relationship and safe space with you.

There are times in life when the work of being a person in the world can feel utterly unmanageable, if not downright impossible. Therapy should be a place of respite and recovery from these challenges - it is here that we can slow down, process, laugh, cry, heal, and grow. Everyone deserves a therapeutic space where you can be seen in the way you want to be seen, and heard in the way you want to be heard. In my work, I seek to create a collaborative space based on values of affirmation, trust, and compassion, in which we can explore and address the adversity that prevents you from leading the life you want to lead.

My practice draws from relational, psychodynamic, and feminist modalities to create a holistic approach best suited to your needs. I specialize in working with people who identify as queer, trans, and gender-expansive, but welcome all with a curiosity for cultivating self-knowledge and insight.

Finding a therapist - and dealing with mental health challenges in general - can feel extraordinarily difficult at times, but know that you are deserving of support and care.

Many of us develop patterns of behavior and explanatory narratives in response to life's demands. Over time, this form of adaptation can lead to a false sense of self. Sooner or later, though often around midlife, our typical ways of coping and sublimation no longer work, and we are called to reconnect with our true selves. Therapy can support this process of uncovering and freeing ourselves from maladaptive patterns.

I work alongside individuals and couples to support them in achieving their goals. I am particularly attuned to challenges that arise from avoidance, stress, anxiety, depression, unresolved conflict, and relationship issues. I can offer many approaches including psychospirituality, attachment theory, and parts work.

My experience includes working with adults of all ages struggling with major life transitions such as illness, becoming a new parent, caregiver fatigue, and processing grief and loss. By connecting through compassion and curiosity, I aim to cultivate a therapeutic partnership that feels safe, non-judgemental, and supportive allowing space for growth.

Whether you are learning to address new life obstacles or overcoming lifelong struggles, my treatment approach focuses on maximizing your personal strengths. My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide you the tools and self-determination you need to better manage your life in a safe, trustworthy environment free from judgement.

Experienced in providing care for individuals with depression & anxiety, trauma, emotional distress and impulsivity, substance use, and LGBTQ+ areas. I am skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with over 15 years experience addressing substance use related issues.

My evidence-based, empathic, person-centered approach allows clients, regardless of their age, to unlock their capacity and desire for personal betterment and change. I believe authenticity and collaboration is important in a truly therapeutic relationship as we work together to help you meet your goals.

I am so excited to be working with clients who are using psychedelics and want to enhance their experience through psychotherapy. I’m hoping you will find my experience, education, knowledge, and wisdom enough of a spark to make your first appointment. My approach is always compassionate, empowering and accepting.

With over 30 years experience, I am constantly learning and growing in the field of mental health. My niche is working with couples who are struggling to find the love which brought them together in the first place.

I am very passionate and excited about my work with clients who experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, addictions, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, postpartum depression, and relationship issues. Together, we will embark on this journey of self exploration and personal growth.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, issues related to drugs or alcohol, and those recovering and healing from trauma. I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities. I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum, and parental mental health. Many of my clients are mental health care providers themselves, who need clinical supervision or emotional support. My approach supports exploration of both the roots of emotions, behaviors, and patterns, while also talking about the here and now.

I approach therapy as collaborative journey to understand more about our selves, experiences, and relationships. At the heart of the work is an exploration of the unconscious with the aim of bridging our past and present. Within the therapeutic space we can develop insight that expands our consciousness of self, other, and the world around us.

In my work with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a friendly and affirming space where you can feel safe to explore all aspects of yourself. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to make meaning of life experiences. We can partner to address things such as self-awareness, acceptance, body image, healthy relationships, gender identity, sexuality, anxiety, depression and whatever else we discover as important to your ongoing journey of well-being. I hope to cultivate our therapeutic relationship through humor, curiosity, and transparency.

I offer a trauma-informed, eclectic style of practice that draws on evidence-based, psychodynamic, and relational theories. I integrate play therapy, movement, and somatic mindfulness techniques to help clients connect with their emotions and how they experience them in the body. I aim to foster curiosity and compassion around your goals in our work together

I believe building an authentic relationship between therapist and client is the key to effective therapy. As a queer, white, non-binary therapist, I am committed to showing up with cultural humility, anti-racism, and warmth in each session. I welcome you as you are. Feel free to reach out to explore if we may be a good fit.

The search for meaning and authenticity is central to our lives. Whether you are experiencing a time of particular difficulty or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can provide a space for support, connection, and collaboration in your life’s journey.

Many people I work with experience relational difficulties of various kinds, including long standing issues with roots in the past as well as current challenges in professional and personal life.

I have post-graduate training in psychoanalysis and take an eclectic approach to therapy, customizing treatment to each individual.

Book a session with me if you want to create a healthy and empowering narrative of your life that you can understand and reconcile with. Prior to working as a therapist, I studied comparative literature in college and worked as a copywriter in the advertising industry, discovering, creating, and sharing “stories”. I was drawn to therapy as an occupation, having learned that psychotherapy, essentially, is a process of storytelling. As a therapist, I strive to empower and support my clients in their journey of uncovering and re-arranging their thoughts and feelings to create a coherent and empowering narrative of their lives.

Raised in Seoul, Cairo, and Dubai and now living in New York — all extremely different places — I have a deep empathy for people going through big life transitions—whether it’s geographical, cultural, familial, between jobs/schools/relationships or regarding their gender identity—and are dealing with a sense of loss, isolation, and anxiety as a result.

My approach to therapy is holistic, person-centered, and strength-based, fueled by my genuine curiosity about my clients. I primarily draw from trauma-informed, relational psychodynamic therapy and narrative therapy, but I believe holding a warm and safe space where my clients can freely explore themselves, without fear of judgment, is even more crucial.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents grappling with challenges related to emotional regulation and distress tolerance. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, and I take pride in tailoring therapy sessions and treatment plans to meet your child's unique needs. My clinical experience includes working with individuals who have acute and chronic trauma, adjustment disorders, ADHD, ASD, behavioral concerns encountered at home and in school, global developmental delays, mood disorders, OCD, and PTSD.

I've found that a combination of child-led play therapy, child-friendly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques yields remarkable results. Play therapy not only encourages flexible thinking but also equips children with the skills they need to navigate social situations with confidence.

For teenagers, I specialize in addressing common issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, bullying, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. By understanding your adolescent's unique strengths and areas for growth, I focus on establishing and achieving tangible goals through emotion-based therapeutic work.

Perhaps you are struggling with excessive worrying, low self esteem, relational issues, or navigating a life transition. Or perhaps you struggle with discontentment - some inkling that you could be leading a more satisfying life. Whatever brings you to therapy and whatever your background, I will welcome you with compassion, competence, and sensitivity to your current set of challenges. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to the change process and thus strive to create a warm, caring, and non judgmental space for you to freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and ways of relating to yourself and others.

I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy. We will work on symptom relief for your presenting issues but we will also strive to understand more deeply how your life experiences are influencing your current difficulties. We will listen to your desires, and I will support you as you experiment with new ways of being that are in service of your expressed goals.

This therapeutic process of self exploration holds promise for new possibilities - a greater sense of choice, agency, meaningful connection with others and enjoyment. If this approach is of interest to you, please contact me for a free consultation so we can explore whether we'd be a good match.

Therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a space for growth, self-discovery, and healing. I work with clients navigating societal pressures, identity, relationships, career goals, and life transitions—especially those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. If you're seeking a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences and challenges, I’m here to help.

My approach is collaborative and strength-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, helping them explore the connections between their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.

Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore, grow, and work toward meaningful, attainable goals—at your own pace. I look forward to working with you.

I work with children and adults who are looking for a space to explore and process current or past issues, free of shame or judgment. I have worked across a variety of treatment spaces and have worked with a wide range of ages, identities, and backgrounds. In working together, I look to cultivate a therapeutic space where we can bring awareness and curiosity to patterns or behaviors that may no longer be serving you or your child. We all deserve a space where we can be our most authentic selves, and where ourselves can be met with warmth and compassion. This is what I hope we can achieve in our time together.

My experience includes working with people impacted by trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other struggles in regulating emotions and maintaining healthy relationships. For therapy, I utilize a combination of trauma focused therapy, CBT, IFS, and attachment. I also utilize somatic, grounding, and mindfulness practices.

Techniques and theories are so important to clinical work, but I have also found that the most essential practice in working together is developing a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. If you are looking to process and heal past experiences, while gaining new skills and techniques I encourage you to reach out to begin our work together.
