Nice to meet you. I am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the states of New York and Hawaii with a specialization background in Health Psychology. I firmly believe that every individual has the right to live in peace and pursue their own versions of happiness, and it is my mission as a psychotherapist to support my patients in becoming their best selves.

Drawing upon my extensive training, research, and clinical experience, I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues that individuals of marginalized and minority populations encounter. These include acculturation, intergenerational conflicts, identity development, discrimination, family dynamics, and the impacts of societal expectations and perfectionism. By integrating culturally-sensitive and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I strive to empower my patients in navigating these challenges and find a sense of authenticity, balance, and fulfillment in life.

Together, we will explore your cultural values, beliefs, and experiences, allowing you to gain deeper insights into how they shape your perspective and influence your well-being. By fostering self-awareness and providing practical tools, we will work collaboratively to strengthen your coping skills, improve communication, build resilience, and foster healthy relationships.

For Hawaii patients: HMSA (PPO & Quest)

For New York patients: Aetna, United Health Care, Oxford, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans
