I work with individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, social anxiety, depression, the challenge of relationships, and work-related stress. The majority of my clients are young professionals living in NYC navigating the stresses and anxieties that come with being a young professional in NYC: managing corporate expectations or being an entrepreneur, navigating toxic friendships as well navigating dating in NYC.

I also provide therapeutic support to clients who are going through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, or postpartum. I also provide therapeutic support for clients who have experienced infertility and loss.

I am passionate about helping couples with demanding careers navigate parenting and reclaim their lost connection as partners.

I recommend weekly therapy at the beginning to build up trust in the therapy room so you can get symptom relief. As things progress, I will discuss with you what will be the frequency of the session based on your needs and progress in the therapy.

My therapy approach is tailored to your unique needs. Most of my clients stay in therapy for 1-3 years. I incorporate direct conversations about how the therapy is working with my clients, what is helpful, what is challenging, and what we need to concentrate on more. I also provide short-term therapy.

I strive to be compassionate, down-to-earth, empathetic, validating, and empowering. Resilience, quality therapy, and self-discovery are important values to me. In my practice, I believe that therapy shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all experience. I utilize elements of CBT, Internal Family Therapy, and Mindfulness which are tailored to your unique needs. You will learn coping skills that you can use outside of the therapy room to feel better. Our work will also involve developing your mind and body connection and developing tools to use outside of sessions. I am also not the smile and nod therapist. My style is engaging and collaborative, which means we are working as a team. As a multicultural therapist and immigrant, I’m sensitive to your individual culture and how that plays a role in receiving help for your mental health.

We will have a discussion if you may benefit from medication. I will provide a referral to a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.

One of the goals of therapy is to help you to build a village outside of the therapy room whatever form it looks like. Whether you need to work with a nutritionist, or lactation consultant, or attend a peer group, I will provide a trusted referral.

Being in therapy can be a life-changing experience and a turning point in your life! Finding the right therapist is not easy at all. I get it. Your past negative experience in therapy and being intimidating to start the process again and prevent you from healing. I hear you. You are not alone and that’s common.

That’s why I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. The goal of the consultation to see whether my therapy style and professional background are the right fit for you. I welcome questions that you might have but afraid to ask.

I will also tell you genuinely if it is not my area of expertise and provide you a trusted referral to my professional colleague who might better help you. If we both decide to work together we will process your past negative experience in sessions, we will talk about your worries, and how we can build mutual trust.
