I am a DIR/Floortime based therapist working with families with ASD and related sensory-affect and social-pragmatic language/communication challenges. At each stage I help you to begin to understand and cultivate your child's core Functional Emotional Developmental capacities. This includes learning to join in and attribute purpose and meaning to how your child is navigating his world; engaging your child in complex back and forth social-emotional-problem solving interactions with gestures and words; symbolic/pretend play sequences, peer relationships and full social-pragmatic language/communication. 65 Minute sessions in your home.

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

Are you struggling to find happiness? Are you ready for a change in your life? With over 15 years in the field of social work, I have developed a passion for helping others in their pursuit of happiness, success and self-love.

When you are seeking therapy, finding the right therapist is the first and most important step. With the right therapist, you feel understood and safe to explore difficult issues. I am a warm and empathic listener who can help you gain insight into your life and give you tools to regain control. I received my doctorate from New York University and training in Psychoanalysis at the National Institute for Psychotherapies in NYC. Currently I am an adjunct faculty member & supervisor at NYU.

Are you weighed down by the relentless grip of anxiety, its persistent presence making every day feel like an uphill battle? Does the heavy cloud of depression obscure your ability to find joy and purpose in life? Are your relationships a source of frustration or despair, rather than the support and connection you desire? I understand the profound emotions that often accompany these struggles, and I'm here to help. As a therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and relationships, I want to be a guide by offering evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness skills.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychological and interpersonal challenges in life, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, life transition, relationship problems, and developmental disorders. I believe that psychotherapy is a process in which client and therapist collaborate in order to help client to improve self-understanding, overcome painful emotions, and discover new and widened perspectives about himself/herself, others, and life. I facilitate client's discovery and development of balanced and integrated personality so that he/she can transcend his/her psychological conflicts.

Do you find yourself being overwhelmed by emotions that leads to shutting down or feeling out of control? Is it difficult to trust and feel connected with people? Do you experience tension and/or muscle pain? From my experiences, I have learned that we have a lot of automatic physiological responses to circumstances, which contribute to unwanted feelings and thoughts. We can work to have our thoughts and emotions feel more tolerable.
