WELCOME.
A moment for Satori.
Satori is derived from Zen Buddhism and represents the ultimate realization of one's true nature. It's an inner experience of enlightenment and a feeling of total presence said to be unexplainable and indescribable. Satori is a path to wisdom, compassion, inner peace, and freedom from suffering.
​
Satori is a driving force in the work that we will do together.
A little about me
Hi, I’m Jenn. I’m a psychotherapist licensed in NY and FL with an MA in Counseling from New York University and a background in corporate tech recruiting.
​As a therapist, I work primarily with children of immigrants, Asian-Americans, and AAPI-identifying clients, though I welcome individuals from all backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients explore any parts or identities that conflict with each other, whether that shows up intra- and/or interpersonally. Together we can unpack these emotional complexities and find a path forward that feels true to who you are.
​
As the daughter of immigrant parents, I can deeply relate to the challenges of navigating multiple cultural expectations, especially when they seem to pull you in different directions. This internal conflict can often leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain about our place in the world. It can also lead to struggles with guilt, shame, and self-doubt, as we try to reconcile what we feel with what we think we "should" be.
​
I commit to teaching self-compassion and learning to honor the varying parts of you. When we acknowledge our limitations with kindness, we can move toward true self-love and acceptance. When you're ready, we will focus on moving toward greater balance, authenticity, and ultimately, Satori.
SERVICES
I am a trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist combining Psychodynamic, Narrative, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR modalities. I see myself as a collaborative partner where trust and rapport are the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. Through this, we can better process experiences with a more compassionate outlook.

EMDR Therapy
​​​Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is different than talk therapy, having an emphasis on reducing the power of traumatic memories. This is a structured approach that can help alleviate the distress of negative memories and facilitate reprocessing in a safe and controlled space. Over time, your emotions connected to these memories should lower in intensity and cause less pain in the present.
Couples Therapy
​​Couples therapy is about identifying the unique patterns between two partners that may be creating unresolved feelings of resentment, distrust, lack of intimacy, and fear. Using skills such as mirroring and validating language, we will work towards creating a space where each person feels truly seen and heard by their partner. With strengthened emotional intimacy, communication and trust can improve, leading to resolutions and progress towards change.
