When life presents us with challenges and unexpected turns, we are given options for an opportunity for change; to not allow them to define our present or our future. Many of us face difficult situations that can get in the way of a full, satisfying life. Each individual has the strength within to grow and find a healthy balance. Sometimes, we need a little extra guidance to see that life's challenges can be transformed into healing opportunities. Therapy can offer a breath of hope to those who feel lost, stuck and alone. One of the most important factors in successful therapy is finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Therapy also provides exploration on learning how to find your true sense of self. Working together helps develop a better understanding of yourself, while re-claiming your personal strengths. It takes courage to start the process of building a trusting, therapeutic relationship. Finding the right fit in a therapist is a really important step. Telling your story and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself will have an enormous, positive impact. Let's connect to uncover your full potential.

I use my full experience from living in China, France, Japan, and the U.S., and from working in management consulting, nonprofits, and the arts in my work as a therapist. I am adept at working with people from varied backgrounds. I am astute, compassionate, and deeply committed to my clients' well-being. I engage my clients not only on the inner- and inter-personal levels, but also in the contexts of their intersecting roles and identities. I am attuned to the mutual influence that individuals and groups have on one another and the interconnectedness in life's pain and healing. By working with a caring and attuned professional, my clients can feel safe and free to explore and work through their experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, loneliness, shame, and anger, all the while developing their courage, resilience, understanding, and self-acceptance. I am fluent in Chinese (Mandarin) and can supplement my work with advanced French and intermediate Spanish. I also provide consultation and training to early- and mid- career clinicians in the U.S. and China.

I am a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals through periods of growth, healing, and self-discovery. My background includes working with young adults, college students, and culturally diverse populations, which has deepened my commitment to providing affirming, inclusive care. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. Drawing from evidence-based approaches, I tailor therapy to each person’s unique goals and experiences, ensuring that our work together feels meaningful and empowering. My aim is to offer a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges and build a future that feels authentic to you

I specialize in working with young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress. Many are facing academic pressure, social challenges, or life transitions. I provide a supportive space to talk, build skills, and improve well-being. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded and in control of their emotional well-being. I believe meaningful change starts with a strong, trusting relationship. In our early sessions, we’ll focus on building that connection and exploring what works best for you. My approach is eclectic and flexible, drawing from various modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the resilience of young people — and I’ve seen how powerful therapy can be when clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Supporting people in their most vulnerable moments is an honor, and I deeply value the trust my clients place in me.

Our team of therapists pull from a myriad of evidence based treatment modalities to meet the individual needs of our clients. Some of the most well known and effective therapy modalities we offer are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). One of the goals of CBT is to replace negative thoughts and actions with productive behaviors that make the individual feel equipped to overcome any difficult moment. DBT emphasizes individual psychotherapy and group skills training classes to help people learn and use new skills and strategies to develop a life worth living. DBT skills include, skills for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. We work with our clients to help them recognize how their thinking influences their emotions and behaviors and to establish personalized effective coping mechanisms. Doing so will ultimately help you identify and effectively manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in real-world situations.

Students who find me most helpful are often trying to figure out who they are as separate but connected to their parents and family. I especially love working with first gen and immigrant students because I am both. I have lived and worked on four continents and English is actually not my first language, so students who are navigating intercultural issues also find it easy to connect with me. In terms of the kinds of issues students work with me on, it includes: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship worries, fear of failure, and self esteem. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am doing Tele-health sessions at this time. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, trauma, or sexual orientation, and you are ready to make a change in your life, I would be glad to hear from you. As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives. My approach is one of respect and warmth, and attention to the dignity of every person. Many of my clients have gone through traumatic or disorienting experiences, and struggle with depression, anxiety, or other debilitating emotional problems. Too often, we feel alone; and that our voices are not heard. I am here to guide you on your journey. You are not alone.

I believe people have the inherent capacity to heal and grow. To support this change, I provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and collaborative therapeutic space. I will work with you to tap into your strengths, gain insight into behaviors that might currently feel stuck or confusing, and learn skills to empower you to effectively deal with stress and emotional ups and downs. My approach is tailored to your specific goals and circumstances, and typically includes a mixture of traditional “talk” therapy with mindfulness, somatic, and trauma-informed practices. I am committed to an anti-oppressive, inclusive approach that welcomes all experiences. I am licensed to provide telehealth in NY, GA, and FL. I also provide in-person sessions in GA.

I understand college can be a huge transitional point in life. It is a time where most are gaining agency and control over their lives and that can get tough at times for us all. Let's see if we can work together to give you some tools to feel ready to live that life!

Hello wonderful souls! Are you struggling with relationship issues, anxiety and overwhelm, or just feel stuck even though you don't understand why? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly a decade of experience helping people navigate dysfunctional relationship/family dynamics, transitions, anxiety/stress, and trauma. My practice focuses on creating a safe space to process challenges and empower you to learn and use skills to manage whatever life is throwing your way! My clients typically experience relief and empowerment within the therapeutic setting as they learn practical tools to increase self awareness, regulate emotions, decrease overwhelm, and manage everyday stressors. Clients are often surprised by how much change they see within a few sessions through the application of cognitive techniques and tools designed to give you back your power.

Sometimes life's challenges require additional tools. I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's Degree from Molloy University. I have over a decade of experience in this field and over two decades as a Nurse Practitioner in Adult Health. As a teammate in your wellness journey, I work closely with your counselor and health care providers to optimize mental and physical health outcomes. I see you as a whole person and incorporate your whole social, physical, and emotional well-being into our plan to guide you to wellness. Medication and psychotherapeutic modalities are utilized as needed to help you achieve your goals. Patients should be ages 18+, in the active care of a Primary Care Provider, and willing to utilize the patient portal. Unfortunately, I do not participate with Medicare or Medicaid even if it is managed by one of the plans listed at this time.

I provide therapy that’s rooted in cultural humility. I believe trust grows when we honor the full spectrum of your identity—race, gender, work environments, religious affiliation, family, and beyond. I’m interested in the “why” behind things. Many of our thoughts, feelings, and reactions make sense when we look at earlier experiences or relationships. In therapy, we gently explore those patterns—how they show up now, and whether they’re helping or holding you back. I work in partnership with you. We’ll determine your course of treatment together. I believe the most lasting change happens when your voice is central to the process.

Living with intrusive thoughts, urges, images, or other related mental health stressors each day can feel exhausting and debilitating. In sessions, we will explore the nature of your symptoms, learn tools you can use to manage these symptoms, and aim to reach a point where you can live the life you value and desire! We work with all ages for those struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, and related disorders. We take a collaborative, holistic, and problem-solving approach to treatment using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I am a warm, affirming, non-judgmental psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, and I work with an interactive, relational, humanistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and transparent approach. I believe that people have the innate capacity to heal and change. We will work together to develop a deeper understanding of your life goals and perspectives, so that we can custom-tailor techniques to make your life most meaningful for you. We will work together toward resolving life challenges by identifying your personal strengths, coping strategies, and by helping you to see things in your life from a different lens. I exclusively offer tele-therapy (phone and zoom video sessions for individuals, couples/relationships and families). I support individuals and couples as they work through a range of challenges and life situations including: school-related stressors, anxiety, new and changing relationships, life transitions, explorations of identity, school/college life adjustment, illness, fertility treatments/ART, donor conceived individuals, adoption, parenting, care givers, communication issues. I work with the LGBTQ+ community, and provide gender-affirming support for transgender & non-binary individuals. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity/neurodivergence affirming therapist.

🌟 Embodied Hope For Your Journey to Healing and Growth 🌟 Dealing with trauma can be really tough, whether it's from a specific event or something that's been with you for a long time. It can affect so many parts of your life, from your mental health to your relationships to your sleep. Doing it all while keeping up with classes? That's exhausting. It helps to have someone who knows trauma work and can support you while you gauge how to pace your healing process. I provide therapy for many different types of trauma: emotional neglect, abuse, combat, complex PTSD, intimate partner violence, sexual assault/harassment, bullying, accidents, medical illness, pregnancy/birth, and toxic relationships. I'm experienced in gold standard therapies for trauma, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, and OCD. It's important to me to help people to understand and work with - not in spite of - their nervous system. I've been through a lot of different experiences in my career, working in hospital and outpatient settings. Real progress comes from having a place where our nervous system can gradually rebuild a sense of safety, grow in flexibility, and practice new learning. My goal is to make therapy that kind of a place. I believe in using therapy strategies that are proven to be effective, but that doesn't mean sessions have to be rigid or boring. Depending on the client, I'll pull in painting, novels and movies, music, Minecraft, sports, and comedians. I'm also always learning and growing as a therapist to make sure you're getting the best care possible. Although therapy progress isn't always a straight line, learning new skills and ways of thinking almost always has ups and downs. That's completely normal. It's totally understandable if you wish you could feel better right away. I'll do my best to create a fluid plan, tailored just for you, to help you head in that direction. You don't have to be alone. Someone I value once told me that sometimes we carry hope for others until they're ready to pick it back up themselves. Let me know if you'd like to talk about what that might look like for you to be ready to carry your own hope again.

Please feel free to take a look at my website. I see many students who are dealing with social anxiety, loneliness, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disordered behaviors, family issues, adjustment problems, trauma of all kinds, depression and grief. I do use a trauma modality known as EMDR which I can explain should it be a good idea for you. Also please know I am active in the sessions so that for the most part there are no long difficult silences! I am also a musician and so i work well with students or adults in the arts.
