Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years in the field, I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. I am most drawn to children, teens, young adults and parents experiencing stress, anxiety and depression as well as individuals navigating life transitions. I additionally love helping parents better understand infant, toddler and child development while also providing parents with strategies they can use to promote their child's social and emotional skill building in the home environment. I have certifications as an Early Intervention Specialist through the MA Department of Public Health and as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International. I am also trained in SPACE therapy, a parent-based treatment program, developed by Dr. Lebowitz from Yale University. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and this program aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Therapist With a Sense of Humor ~ Reach Out Anyway!

Workaholic by choice, dog mama by heart. Seven days a week, fueled by hustle, humor, and Pitbull cuddles. Yes, I chose this life. No, I still don’t understand why.

Email me directly and try not to overthink the subject line. (Seriously, “Hello” or “Just testing if this thing works” are entirely acceptable choices).

Every appointment gets a warm, practical “yes” from me first ~ I confirm we’re the right clinical fit, that I’m licensed to practice magic (or therapy, depending on the day) in your state, and that your insurance and I are on wonderfully polite terms. Every new client starts with a full intake session. But booking should only happen once that verification is sorted and your intake paperwork is complete; otherwise, a standard administrative fee applies as outlined here in my bio, covering onboarding overhead and reserved calendar time.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts and New York, 25+ years deep. I work with the complex, high-acuity stuff that takes real depth to hold: mood and psychotic disorders, PTSD and DID, the full neurodivergent spectrum (ADHD, OCD, autism), plus PANDAS, tics, and Tourette syndrome.

I share my world with a blind Pitbull ~ resilience in the flesh, navigating a world he can’t see with more confidence than me even after I have three espressos. He’s the heart behind the hustle.

I accept insurance through Headway, which verifies benefits and processes copays automatically. Private pay and sliding scale also available.

Pro-Tip: Confused by your insurance card? Call the number on the back ~ those lovely humans are literally paid to explain your coverage.

The “No-Fly” Zone: 7:00 AM sessions are off the menu.
