Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m a psychotherapist with an MA in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University.
Currently, but not exclusively, I work with many children of immigrants, Asian-American, or AAPI-identifying clients around discovering their authentic selves, establishing effective communication strategies, and navigating their intersectionality of identities under the cultural and societal contexts that are specific to this population.
As a daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the nuances of growing up in two very different cultures and how expectations and boundaries inherently clash. This can lead to confusion, fear, and self-doubt in things that may feel trivial to others. So often, our inner critic holds us back. Growing up it helped you succeed, but as an adult it now becomes paralyzing. I help clients gain awareness of why this is happening and how to better separate from their inner critic in order to live a more anxiety-free life.
I believe that the past is always showing up in the present. The more we can bring conscious awareness to this and notice how this manifests, the more capable we become to move forward and grow. If any of this resonates with you, let's schedule a free consultation to see how we can work together!
