What's My Approach to Therapy?

On the outside, you may look like you’re holding it together, but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether you are navigating relationship stress, life transitions, postpartum challenges, or the exhaustion of chronic sleep issues, I am here to help. I provide virtual therapy for teens and adults throughout New York and New Jersey, offering a convenient and flexible space for your healing. I specialize in treating anxiety, nightmares, and insomnia, and I offer evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help you finally get the rest you need. I accept insurance and look forward to supporting you in moving forward. My style is warm, direct, and grounded. In therapy, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, understand the patterns that keep showing up, and focus on small, realistic changes that actually fit your life. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people feel clearer, steadier, and more connected to what matters most.

My Practice & Services

My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health support should be as diverse as the community it serves. Having earned my Ed.M. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, I bring a high standard of clinical excellence to my work with international students and professionals navigating the unique pressures of the NYNJ area. I am proud to offer therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, providing a space where your cultural identity and family dynamics are understood without needing "translation." Whether you are navigating the complexities of the immigrant experience or the high-achieving expectations of academic environments, I offer a culturally responsive space where you feel truly seen. I accept several insurance plans and offer a complimentary consultation to ensure we are the right fit for your journey. Check real-time availability: https:everbloommentalhealth.com

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I often work well with people who are hard on themselves, struggle to slow their minds down, feel emotionally exhausted, or find themselves repeating patterns they do not fully understand.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

A past negative therapy experience can make it harder to reach out again. You may have felt unheard, emotionally unsafe, or like the process did not really help. I welcome those conversations, and I think it is important for therapy to feel like a place where your experience, feedback, and comfort actually matter.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and one important factor is whether you feel comfortable being real with them. Beyond training and experience, it can be helpful to notice whether their style feels like a good match for your needs, personality, and goals. Feeling supported, understood, and gently challenged can make a big difference.
