Hi! I'm a Columbia University-trained, NY & NJ licensed, Asian American psychologist specializing in therapy for self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, and relationships. May I ask you, do you often feel exhausted by anxious thoughts, feeling often uneasy as if there’s a pit in your stomach? Do you currently struggle with low self-esteem and depressed mood? Is there loneliness at times and wish you could make more meaningful connections? What if I tell you that you CAN learn to calm your anxieties, be more confident, find greater peace, and learn to truly connect with friends, family, and partner? I am here to tell you that it is possible!
Throughout 17 years of my clinical work, I had the privilege of meeting clients, just like you, who deeply struggled with low self-esteem, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, & difficulties in relationships. But I also witnessed many of my clients making progress towards the life they desired, even when they weren't sure how that would be possible in the beginning.
I’ll guide you to discover your confident and calmer self. I'll also equip you with insights and interpersonal skills, so that you can cultivate more meaningful relationships, if that’s what you're desiring. I'll always tailor therapy to fit who you are and meet you where you're at. So, please reach out. Let's first talk!
