Individual Psychotherapy in New York City

I offer individual psychotherapy in New York City (NYC) and online therapy throughout New York State.

Many of my adult clients are insightful, self-aware, and motivated. They seek therapy to address ongoing emotional and relational challenges, and you may recognize yourself in the following:

• You’ve spent years in therapy or personal growth work, yet still feel stuck in limiting beliefs and relational dynamics rooted in childhood or past experiences. You understand your story—but are now ready to embody a new way of being and move beyond survival toward a more fulfilling life.

• You have not yet fully processed childhood trauma or sexual abuse, and notice your nervous system shifting between hyperarousal (anxiety, overwhelm) and hypoarousal (shutdown, numbness). You may feel disconnected from your body and struggle to feel grounded, safe, or resourced. You are now ready to take a courageous step toward trauma healing.

• You find yourself preoccupied with others’ opinions, often people-pleasing at the expense of your own needs. Setting healthy boundaries feels difficult, and you may feel caught in codependent or unfulfilling relationships.

• You struggle with self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome. Your inner critic is strong and persistent, making it difficult to feel “good enough” or maintain a sustainable work–life balance.

• Anxiety, fear, or overwhelm can lead to procrastination or a sense of paralysis, making it hard to take action or move forward with meaningful changes in your life.

• You experience anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, or emotional overwhelm, and want to learn effective, sustainable tools to regulate your emotions and thoughts—so you can feel more confident in your ability to navigate life’s stressors.

• You identify as BIPOC, Asian American, a first- or second-generation immigrant, LGBTQ+, or someone who has felt like an outsider. You may be exploring identity, belonging, and the impact of cultural or intergenerational experiences.

• You are a creative—such as a visual artist, musician, filmmaker, or performer—feeling blocked or disconnected from your creative energy, and want support reconnecting with your creativity.

• You are a parent of a child or adult child with special needs and may experience isolation or overwhelm. You are seeking support from a therapist who understands the emotional and practical complexities of caregiving.

Art Therapy

My early career as a visual artist in NYC has given me an affinity for working with creative individuals who may be drawn to using art therapy to:

•  Access parts of oneself which may not be readily available by traditional talk therapy 

• Open to experiencing the art making process as a way to bring the unconscious into conscious awareness 

• Process past trauma or childhood wounds

• Connect or reconnect with a creative self 

• Gain a greater self-awareness through art making process

• Reclaim creative flow

You don’t need to be an artist or know how to draw to participate in art therapy—just the openness to try something other than talk therapy. Check out the American Art Therapy Association

Trauma Work with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Attachment Focused--EMDR is a powerful, integrative approach that combines the effectiveness of EMDR with a deep focus on attachment, relationships, and early emotional experiences. This approach can be especially helpful if you’ve gained insight in prior therapy but still feel stuck, or if you’re seeking deeper, lasting change—not just symptom relief.

Many people think of trauma as only major life events—but therapy can be just as impactful for both big T trauma and little t trauma. Big T trauma may include experiences such as childhood abuse, sexual abuse, loss, racial trauma, or intergenerational trauma. Little t trauma often involves more subtle, cumulative experiences—such as childhood emotional neglect, chronic stress, cultural and family expectations, which can leave you feeling unseen, unsupported, or like you must constantly meet high standards.

For many Asian Americans, these experiences are shaped by bicultural identity, family expectations, immigration history, and the “model minority” myth. These layers can deeply influence emotional well-being, self-worth, and relationship patterns, often in ways we don’t realize.

Over time, these experiences can show up as:

• Procrastination or difficulty getting started

• Work-life balance challenges and burnout

• Perfectionism or harsh inner criticism

• Emotional overwhelm, reactivity, or shutdown

• Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns

Attachment-Focused EMDR, integrated with inner child work and reparenting, helps reshape these early dynamics. By addressing the root of these patterns, we support the nervous system and foster new, compassionate ways of relating to yourself.

As therapy progresses, many clients notice:

• Greater emotional regulation and resilience

• More ease in decision-making and follow-through

• Reduced inner criticism and a more compassionate relationship with themselves

• A shift toward more flexibility, self-trust, and secure connections with others

Psychotherapy for Asian Americans

Many Asian Americans experience anxiety, depression, and emotional stress, yet reaching out for therapy can feel difficult. Cultural stigma, family expectations, faith and religious values, and language barriers often make it harder to seek support. The “model minority” myth can further deepen feelings of shame or isolation during times of struggle.

As a Korean American therapist in New York, I provide culturally sensitive psychotherapy for Asian American individuals seeking a space to feel seen, understood, and supported. With both lived experience and professional training, I help clients navigate identity, belonging, and emotional well-being.

I work with Asian American adults exploring cultural identity, intergenerational family dynamics, and the tension between traditional values and more modern or progressive perspectives. Together, we can address internalized pressure, self-criticism, and the impact of cultural expectations.

I also support clients in processing the effects of racism, discrimination, and systemic oppression, and how these experiences shape self-esteem, relationships, and mental health.

Therapy can be a space for healing, clarity, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
