I have worked in the healthcare field for over fifteen years, with a strong background in emergency medicine, and behavioral health. The last 15 years have prepared me to continue to be a leader in the profession.

I have excellent clinical skills, empathy, and an attentiveness to detail. I am a patient advocate with strong interpersonal skills.

I have a masters in education and social work. I was a New York City public school teacher prior to becoming a social worker. My heart and soul drive my practice and I love what I do!

I have over 10 years of professional practice experience with working with people. I provide both short- and long-term therapy to children, families, and adults navigating challenging relationships. I meet you where you are and guide you toward the person you would like to be.

My goal is to help clients uncover their true potential and lead lives worth celebrating. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology at Elon University and my master's degree in clinical social work at New York University. Additional clinical and training experiences include Mount Sinai Medical Center, Metro Behavioral Health Eating Disorder Centers, and Ackerman Institute for the Family.

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I work full-time as a Psychotherapist at a non-profit community mental health clinic. This place allows me to obtain clinical experience and develop counseling skills. I am experienced working with Mood Disorders, Trauma & PTSD, Behavioral Disorders, Personality Disorders, Substance Abuse, and the LGBTQ community. I am competent in working with multiple cultural backgrounds. I have a Certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Prior to my current experience, I worked as a Bilingual Psychotherapist at a Chinese Psychiatry practice. I have many years of research experience on mental health.

I developed a good understanding of how to connect with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. In addition to English, I speak Cantonese and Mandarin fluently which allows me to be multiculturally competent.

Embarking on our therapeutic journey together, I want to affirm a fundamental truth: "You are the expert of your life." This statement serves as a cornerstone. Your voice deserves to be heard, your story deserves to be understood, and your emotions deserve to be validated. Whether you're grappling with the daily demands of life, processing past traumas, or feeling overwhelmed by it all, my aim is to create a nurturing environment where you feel empowered to face your challenges head-on.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in care for women, children, and adolescents, with a strong focus on ADHD, anxiety, and mood concerns. Many women seek care during periods of burnout, emotional overload, or major life transitions, and I provide calm, supportive, and collaborative care during these difficult moments. I also work closely with parents, helping children and teens feel safe and understood while supporting families with clear guidance and thoughtful treatment planning.

I primarily work with young adult females who want to better understand their anxieties, heal their relationship with themselves and others, and improve self-esteem.
