From Stuck to Deeper Change

Maybe you've built a life that looks functional from the outside, and still feel stuck inside. There may be the same patterns returning, or a quiet sense of misalignment you can't quite resolve on your own. And not for lack of trying. Some things don't shift through effort alone. They shift when the parts of us that have been long neglected, unseen, unvoiced, pushed aside, are finally brought into connection.

Therapy can go beyond coping strategies or reframing your thoughts. Deeper therapy can go to the root, the beliefs absorbed before you had words for them, the ways you learned to protect yourself, the stories you've been living inside without knowing they were stories. It's about building a different relationship with yourself, one with more authenticity, spaciousness, and alignment.

That kind of work changes how you show up everywhere, in relationships, work, how you handle loss, transition, stress, desire. Not because you've optimized yourself, but because you've come home to yourself.

I work with people navigating intergenerational and attachment wounds, relationships and dating, career and life transitions, and the emotional terrain that resists easy naming. I bring an integrative perspective, attuned to the full complexity of who you are.

This is experiential work that goes beyond talking about the problem. It's about experiencing yourself and relating differently, built on a genuine relationship of trust and collaboration.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, let's talk.

I get where you’re coming from:

  • You've built a life around making things, the risk of it, the love of it, the way it asks so much of you. Creative blocks, questions of identity and worth, the gap between your inner world and how to navigate the one outside it, this is a space that holds all of that. Therapy for artists and creatives understands that your work and your inner life are inseparable.

  • Having to navigate a multicultural environment hasn’t been easy and your heritage has deeply impacted who you are today. Born and raised in NYC as a child of Taiwanese immigrants, I can understand the struggle of the loss, the complexity, the questions of belonging that don't have clean answers. Whether you came yourself or inherited that weight, your experience here is recognized and understood.

  • You've worked hard and come far. And still, something feels off, a quiet misalignment between the life you've built and the one you actually want to be living. Burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, the pressure to keep performing, therapy for high achievers goes beneath the productivity to what's actually driving it, and what it's costing you.

  • You’re living and working across different timezones and having to adapt to different places quickly. It can be hard to find a therapist who understands your lifestyle and unique challenges. Having worked in the humanitarian field, I get where you’re coming from and can adapt to your needs.

  • Challenging the status quo in pursuit of radical, necessary change can feel both energizing and deeply depleting. When the work is urgent and the stakes are high, burnout often follows from carrying too much for too long. Therapy can be a space to replenish, stay connected to purpose, and sustain the struggle.

  • Your depth of feeling is real, and it can make you feel different, even alien, in a world that wasn't quite built for your nervous system. Therapy for highly sensitive people and empaths honors both the challenges and the gifts of experiencing life as fully as you do, and helps you find your footing without dimming what makes you who you are.

  • You may not always have the words for what happened, or it may have been so woven into the fabric of your early life that it just felt normal. Whether you're carrying a single event that changed everything, the accumulated weight of complex trauma, or the deeper imprints of childhood wounds, the effects live in the present: in your body, your relationships, your sense of self. But what the nervous system learned to carry, it can also learn to release. Healing isn't just understanding what happened, it's finally feeling lighter.

  • Whether you're out, still finding your way, or somewhere in between — navigating queer identity, gender identity, sexuality, or questions that don't yet have names takes its own particular kind of courage. This is an affirming, LGBTQ+-informed space, free from assumptions, where your full self is welcome, including the parts still unfolding.

  • You've never felt entirely at home — in your family, your culture, your professional world, maybe all of it. The one who sees things differently, who never quite fit the mold, who has always lived a little outside the frame. This is a space that doesn't ask you to fit into one, and that understands that existing on the margins has its own particular weight, and its own particular wisdom.

  • How we learned to love, to need, to pull away, that gets set early, often before we had any say in it. And it follows us, into our relationships, our bodies, our deepest fears about closeness and abandonment. Attachment and relationship wounds can be subtle, they show up as patterns more than memories. This work goes to the root of those patterns, not just to manage them but to actually heal them, so that fulfilling connections becomes possible.

You Don’t Have to Struggle Alone

Let's work together to build awareness, grow, and evolve.

So much change is happening and it may feel uncertain and overwhelming as you struggle to navigate.

Life Transitions

Something has shifted, or is shifting, and the ground doesn't feel solid yet. Whether you chose this change or it chose you, major life transitions have a way of surfacing everything that was quietly waiting underneath. Therapy can help you find your footing again.

Life Transitions & Change

Anxiety & Chronic Worry

Your mind is working overtime, rehearsing, anticipating, bracing for what might go wrong. Anxiety treatment is about no longer being ruled by these thoughts, so you can actually be present in your own life.

Job or School Stress

The pressure to succeed mixed with the fear of failure can feel overwhelming and unfulfilling.

Depression & Low Mood

There's a heaviness that's hard to explain to people who haven't felt it. It goes beyond sadness and might feel like a distance from yourself, from others, from anything that used to feel like it mattered. Depression therapy goes beyond symptom management into what's underneath.

Low Self-Esteem

You find yourself questioning yourself, struggling to see your good qualities, and holding yourself back.

Burnout & Work Stress

There might be pressure to perform, to succeed, to have it together, alongside the quiet fear of never being quite enough. Therapy can help you shift your relationship with your worth, find more balance.

Trauma

Deep wounds from the past continue to show up in the present and seem impossible to overcome.

Hi! My name is Grace! I hold a LMSW (Columbia) and EdM (Harvard) and I’m a psychotherapist licensed in New York (LCSW), New Jersey (LCSW), Massachusetts (LICSW), and Illinois (LMSW).

I am passionate about empowering people from diverse backgrounds to heal from past traumas, explore and express their authentic selves, and live more connected and fulfilling lives.

My clinical training spans the brain, the body, and the emotional and relational world, approaches that go beyond talking about what happened to actually reaching the parts of us that were shaped by it. Trauma lives below conscious knowing, and real healing has to meet it in the nervous system, in the body, in the felt sense of things shifting.

I work integratively, which means I follow what's actually alive in the room, guided by an overall picture of where we're going, rather than applying a fixed method to every person. I'm especially drawn to work that goes underneath, to what was absorbed early, to questions of identity and belonging, to the stories we've been living inside.

I come from an immigrant family and have spent much of my life moving between cultures, languages, and institutions, on the inside and the outside of many of them. The work of figuring out where you belong, what parts of yourself survive the crossing, what home even means, I know that work personally. It lives in how I listen, in what I notice, in my attunement to the things that don't translate and the identities that don't fit neatly into any frame.

Curiosity and genuine respect for difference are at the core of how I work. So is the belief that no two people, or two processes, are the same.

About Grace (Me!)

Approaches I Use

  • We all contain multitudes, the part that's driven, the part that's afraid, the part that shuts down, the part that's been carrying something for a very long time. IFS helps you develop a relationship with those inner parts, so they stop running the show unconsciously and you can lead your life from a more grounded, compassionate place.

  • Less about eliminating difficult thoughts and feelings, more about loosening their grip, so you can move toward what actually matters to you even when things are hard. ACT builds psychological flexibility, the ability to be present with discomfort without being controlled by it.

  • The past lives in the present — in patterns, in relationships, in the ways we respond before we've even had a chance to think. Psychodynamic work brings those patterns into view, tracing them to their roots so they lose their automatic power.

  • AEDP works with emotion and the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for transformation, creating conditions where genuine change can be felt, not just understood. It's warm, present, and oriented toward what's possible and emergent.

  • A practical, evidence-based approach that looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Useful for identifying the patterns of thinking that keep us stuck, and developing concrete ways to respond differently.

  • Originally developed for intense emotional experiences, DBT offers real skills, for managing overwhelming feelings, navigating relationships, tolerating distress without making things worse. It's structured, practical, and genuinely useful for people whose inner lives can feel hard to regulate.

  • STAIR works to rebuild what difficult experiences can quietly erode, your trust in yourself, your capacity to feel steady, your ability to move through the world without being pulled back into the past. It draws on a range of experiential techniques, chosen carefully for what actually works, to help you find that groundedness from the inside out.

  • We develop deep beliefs about ourselves and the world early in life, often before we have the tools to question them. Schema therapy identifies those core patterns and the ways they shape everything, and works to heal them at the level where they were formed.

  • A well-researched trauma therapy that works with how the brain stores difficult experiences. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps the nervous system process what got stuck, so memories lose their charge and the past stops intruding on the present.

  • Where you look affects how you feel. Brainspotting uses eye position to access and process trauma, emotional pain, and activation held deep in the brain and body, often reaching places that talk therapy alone can't get to.

  • Sometimes words aren't the right tool. Drawing, movement, image-making, and other creative modalities open different pathways into inner experience.

  • A newer approach that works at a neurological level, gently accessing the deep brain structures where shock and trauma are held before they even become emotion. Particularly effective for early or preverbal experiences that other approaches can't quite reach.

  • Sometimes we know the past is over, but our body hasn't gotten the message. Lifespan Integration uses a timeline of your life to help the nervous system experience, not just understand, that what happened then is not happening now.

  • Trauma lives in the body. SE works with the nervous system directly, tracking physical sensation, movement, and activation to help complete the survival responses that got interrupted, and restore a felt sense of safety from the inside.

  • A research-based approach to couples work that goes beyond conflict management, building real friendship, trust, and the ability to repair when things go wrong. Useful for couples at any stage, from early tension to long-standing disconnection.

  • Attachment shapes how we love and how we fight. EFT helps couples and individuals understand the emotional cycles driving disconnection, and find their way back to secure, genuine closeness.

  • Therapy doesn't happen outside of the world, it happens inside it. A critical approach means holding awareness of the social, political, and structural forces that shape mental health, identity, and suffering. It means not pathologizing responses to and impacts of the world we live in.
