About My Clients
Navigating your unique life path is no simple task. Depression, anxiety, grief, and anger may overwhelm your sense of agency and fulfillment. Certain ways of coping may give temporary respite but leave you feeling stuck and disconnected. You may encounter parts of yourself that make you question who you think you are. Psychodynamic therapy is a process of self-discovery that uses insight to forge a way to lasting change, freedom from shame, and relief from suffering.
My Background and Approach
I provide psychotherapy as a Licensed Master Social Worker based in New York City. I received my Master of Social Work from Hunter College, CUNY. My training as a clinician included work at a public high school and a community health center. I now work with teens and adults in private practice from a consulting room in downtown Manhattan, and virtually across New York State. I came to clinical practice as an arts producer with over a decade of experience working with artists to bring creative visions to life. I have a BA in the History of Art from Amherst College, and completed my MA at The Courtauld Institute of Art, where I researched and wrote about the intersection of contemporary art, sexuality, violence, and psychoanalysis. My work with artists has a lot to do with the way I work with my patients as a therapist. Therapy, like art, is an exploration of your capacity to make meaning of the known and unknown, and ultimately, to transform.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am queer, Asian, and a child of immigrants. I often work with LGBTQ+ people and those navigating non-monogamous relationships. I am attuned to lived experiences of oppression based on race and ethnicity, and the intergenerational echoes of war and its aftermaths, colonial violence, and migration.
