"To be more fully connected is to be more fully oneself" Hi, I am a bilingual (Mandarin) therapist in NYC and surrounding area with over 13 years of clinical experience supporting children, couples, and families. My client-centered approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I have worked with diverse populations in child welfare, psychiatric centers, and the education system, helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Selective Mutism and relationship issues. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain clarity, and find greater meaning and fulfillment in life
I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.
I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.
I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Massapequa, NY
Searching for therapists in Massapequa starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy style, and background before booking. If you are looking for a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy, look for that experience in the therapist’s profile.
In a smaller Long Island community like Massapequa, local in-person appointment times may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping your search focused on therapists licensed in New York. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes the way sessions are structured. For searches related to marriage counseling in Massapequa, Long Island couples therapy, or couples therapy in Nassau County, look for therapists who mention work with couples, communication patterns, trust, parenting, or relationship concerns.
Therapy in Massapequa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, review estimated costs, and compare bios in one place. You can browse therapists in Massapequa, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
