College can be a naturally high stress period during your life. I’m here to help. With a career spanning business and higher education administration, I am equipped to support students as they navigate this critical transition period in their life. Providing guidance and support for students in highly competitive and high-pressure environments is a cornerstone of my experience as a master's program coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution. For many, college is less of an exciting journey and more of an overwhelming burden. As an Asian American, LGBTQ+ therapist, I am passionate about addressing the unique cultural and intergenerational dynamics that can shape your mental health experiences. My therapeutic style is client-forward and we’ll work together to identify, understand, and alleviate the pressure points in your life. Feel free to reach out for a consultation – I look forward to our work together!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I'm excited to be part of this thriving campus community and to support students as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of college life in NYC. I work with students experiencing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, ADD, and ADHD. Whether you're struggling with academic pressures, identity exploration, or personal relationships, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing to help students build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to thrive—both on campus and beyond.

Life is hard. It’s a tricky thing that presents us with so many unique challenges and difficulties. Whether you're feeling stuck, alone or ready for change, I want to work with you to build a better life and become a better version of yourself. As a mental health counselor with five years of experience, I work with young adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, life transitions, and identity issues. My mission is to help you discover and embody your best self while processing distressing situations. Oftentimes we find that we have difficulty figuring out how to work through our challenges, much less identifying them at all, so I walk alongside you to explore the root of the issue in order to find an effective and sustainable solution. Working with both couples and individuals to find healing, I approach my role as being a safe space for you to express yourself without fear of judgement, collaborating with you to find and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. To this end, therapy is centered on you and who you are, as you are the ultimate expert on who you are at your core.

Everyone suffers from mental health issues at some point in their life—whether minor or major—and it’s important to have help from someone you can trust. I aim to establish trust by creating a safe and comfortable environment for you to share your story with me. Regardless of your background, history, appearance, diagnosis, identity, or beliefs, I regard you unconditionally and genuinely care about your well-being. In our sessions, I utilize a therapeutic approach that focuses on the improvement of mental health through 1) a healthy lifestyle, 2) mental calm and clarity, and 3) self-awareness: of both your problematic views and life-directing values. Together we can carefully identify your barriers to mental health, develop clear recovery goals, and help you find ways to implement action plans that align with your values. My role is to accompany and guide you in your path of healing. As a mental health professional, it’s essential to have my own practice of well-being in order to better help others heal. I have over 15 years of experience practicing mindful living, meditation, and instructing others in mindfulness-based practices, before as a Buddhist monk, and now as a mental health counselor. I specialize in helping people manage their anxiety, depression, cravings, and anger, as well as minimize problematic judgment and rumination. I’m skilled at helping my clients clarify their life direction. I’m bilingual, speaking Mandarin Chinese as well as English, and I have years of counseling experience working with Chinese-American people suffering from chronic & severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. I’ve lived in Chinese cultural environments for years, and in this way, I believe I’m also fluent in the Asian-American cultural overlap. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I genuinely enjoy working with diverse groups of people and age ranges. I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families of all ages. I believe in a safe, trusting, and respectful nature of the therapeutic relationship that allows for deep work which can help you live a rich and fulfilling life. Together, we will learn to think about our problems in more manageable ways and develop skills to deal with those issues that are individualized to you. I bring my true self to each session, and provide a safe space to explore even the most difficult experiences you may have. In our work together, we will explore underlying thoughts, patterns of behavior and life events that may be shaping your present functioning. You are the expert on your own life and your feelings are real and valid. In individual psychotherapy treatment, my goal is to help you uncover underlying assumptions about self and other which have been distorted by life experiences and modify them and to identify cycles that disrupt positive change. I truly believe that the more we understand ourselves, the more we are able to truly grow and live a rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

Societal expectations can show up in academia in ways that can cause enormous stress. In a world that too often values productivity and individuality over community, co-creation, and support, the experience of being in the academic environment can feel isolating, overwhelming, or even like constantly having to prove yourself. I invite and support my clients to challenge the very constructs that have caused them to feel small. As a therapist, I utilize a relational approach to help you feel supported, to reveal patterns, and to help you find ways forward. I also acknowledge that the body can speak and reveal things that we, at times, are not able to verbalize, which is why I integrate somatic practices to help process stress and emotions. Together, we will hold space for you to feel seen and heard, and develop coping mechanisms to build resilience as you continue to navigate life. If you'd think we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a Free 15-minute Video Consultation!
