As a bilingual (Mandarin/English) therapist with over 8 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, and campus settings, I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness.

Do you have anxiety-provoking thoughts that won’t go away? Do you avoid certain situations or do the same things over and over to get rid of your anxiety only to find temporary relief? Do you feel like your OCD or anxiety is running your life? You are in the right place. As a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety I am committed to empowering you to get back into the driver’s seat and feel in control of your life. I provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which aim to reduce symptoms and improve wellbeing by cultivating flexibility in thinking and behavior. My approach to treatment is collaborative and goal-oriented. Working together, you and I will look at what factors are contributing to your struggles and develop a plan for changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Seeking help is an act of courage, but I will be there with you throughout with empathy, genuineness, curiosity, and perseverance. If this resonates with you, the next step would be to reach out to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where I can hear about what you’re going through, share more about my approach, and we can see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

The enormous number of stressors we face daily are intense these days: the climate, global unrest and politics, the economy, overwork, isolation, disconnection. All of this is tremendously difficult to manage alone. Anxiety, anger, depression, resentment, boredom; sadness, rage, exhaustion, denial. If you're struggling with any of this -- or any other states that often bring people to therapy, like feeling lost or overwhelmed, relationship issues, lack of direction, emptiness, grief -- it's worth investing the time and effort to get help, get grounded, and find a better path forward. I offer both in-person & remote therapy. If you're suffering, struggling, having difficulty focusing or functioning, you may really benefit from talking with an empathic and skilled therapist (with room for humor). Life is a lot to handle on one's own. If you've ever considered trying to better understand things about your life, the first phone call awaits. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers deep empathic understanding and useful insights that can be grounding and freeing. Therapy expands your capacities and coping strategies while helping you understand yourself & loved ones better. Significant change takes time, but often real relief is experienced just by starting the process. Are you ready to begin?

Are you emotionally drained from holding everything together? You may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, or feeling like you're “too much.” I help young adults understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck and disconnected. Together, we’ll make sense of your inner life, relationships, and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself over time. My style, is compassionate, collaborative, and engaged. It's important to me that we create a relationship where all parts of you feel welcome and safe enough to make the changes you want. I’ve trained in relational psychodynamic therapy with children and adults, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I believe our early relationships shape us and that healing happens through new relational experiences. In our work, we'll make space to be curious about feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and dynamics that often happen out of awareness. You're welcome to contact me here to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. I’ll reply within 24 hours. You can also book time directly through the link on my own website. We'll talk about your goals, questions, and any concerns you might have. If we decide we're not a good fit, I’ll gladly offer a referral.

It's getting more and more difficult to resist your compulsions. You're getting upset with yourself for not having enough "willpower." You're having frightening thoughts about yourself and others. Thoughts that scare you or contradict your values and who you are as a person. You experience self-hate every time you give into a compulsion. You're exhausted by your own mental and/or physical compulsions. You struggle to trust yourself and often experience shame surrounding your thoughts. You keep it all to yourself because you fear that others will judge you or betray you. Simultaneously, you need emotional support more than ever. My clinical training includes a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and a master's degree in Clinical Social work from Hunter College. I utilize ERP, the gold standard for OCD, CBT, and solution-focused therapy. I also provide mindfulness tools to help clients increase awareness around behaviors. I work collaboratively with my clients, using my clinical background and their knowledge of self and am grateful to witness them transform into versions of themselves that they never thought were possible. It is a privilege to be allowed into the minds and hearts of my clients. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Hi, I’m a Columbia University–trained clinician with 20 years of experience working with college learners in a range of roles—including psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and professor. I specialize in supporting young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity development, and even high-performance areas like academics and sports. I bring both clinical depth and real-world understanding to the therapy room—and what makes me a little different is that I genuinely get the college experience. I’ve spent my career in it, and I know how to blend evidence-based strategies with humor, warmth, and a nonjudgmental presence that helps clients feel both seen and empowered.

I provide a collaborative, affirming approach to therapy that combines mindfulness, skill-building, and empathetic exploration, drawing on my training in evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In our work together, we will challenge what isn’t working in your life, while celebrating and building upon your existing strengths. My areas of specialty include life transitions (e.g. moving, starting a new job or school, relationship beginnings or endings), anxiety and worry, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity concerns, and trauma. I often encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as I believe therapy can provide an important space to understand and address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

College can be a meaningful and exciting chapter, but it can also bring intense pressure, uncertainty, identity questions, family stress, relationship challenges, burnout, anxiety, and executive functioning struggles. My practice offers a warm, collaborative space where students can slow down, feel understood, and develop practical tools for navigating both emotional distress and daily life demands. At Karuna Psychotherapy & Consulting , therapy is trauma-responsive, compassion-focused, and neuroscience-informed, with an emphasis on mind–body integration, relational attunement, and authentic human connection. At Karuna, we support deep healing, wholeness, and personal growth through compassionate, relational, mind–body psychology. I work from a non-shaming, culturally aware , LGBTQ+ affirming, and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Together, we may explore patterns of stress, self-criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, overwhelm, attachment wounds, or disconnection from the body. My approach integrates evidence-informed psychotherapy, mindfulness, self-compassion, nervous system regulation, parts work, and insight-oriented reflection. My goal is to help students feel safer within themselves, better able to understand their emotions, and more empowered to move toward relationships, values, and choices that support their well-being.

Let’s be honest. Underneath that polished veneer, the cracks are starting to show. You’ve tried handling them yourself, because that’s who you are – independent, resourceful, and always able to take care of yourself. But the spackle is breaking.

Maybe those cracks are the result of you running full speed against a wall, again and again. If you’re ready to find another way around the wall, I'm your person. Let’s be honest.
