My Approach
I believe in the inner strength of every individual and the healing power of creative expression.
Using a wealth of musical resources, I guide you to reconnect with your true self—finding clarity, release, and, ultimately, your authentic voice.
As an Asian immigrant myself, I bring deep cultural sensitivity to my work, supporting clients navigating identity, acculturation, and intergenerational trauma. I integrate neuro-informed practical coping skills to help clients restore balance in today's fast-paced world.

Music Psychotherapy
Individual and group music psychotherapy for trauma, stress, and growth—for all ages in NYC and virtually.
Adults
Together, we’ll use music psychotherapy to navigate trauma, stress, or life transitions—honoring your story and strengths through vocalization, instrument play, and guided dialogue. Our work will focus on safely uncovering and reconstructing past wounds, fostering self-awareness, and integrating fragmented parts into a resilient whole. Your path, your pace.
Children & Adolescents
Children speak through play—and music becomes their voice.
I help young people navigate big feelings, life changes, and trauma through creative, evidence-based therapy. Through music, art, and storytelling, we build resilience, confidence, and untapped potential during these critical growing years.
Groups & Workshops
Music’s power multiplies in shared spaces. I design therapeutic groups and workshops where participants—whether clinicians, trauma survivors, or community members—use music to build resilience, process emotions, and reconnect with themselves and others.
Medical Music Therapy
Personalized music therapy addresses medical needs—supporting functional recovery, psychosocial goals, and quality of life—delivered in-home or virtually for accessibility and comfort.
Music & Neuro-Rehabilitation
With specialized experience in stroke rehabilitation, I help survivors with aphasia and motor challenges rebuild neuroplasticity through music. Singing reactivates speech pathways—improving word retrieval, breath control, and articulation—while rhythmic instrument play enhances movement. Rediscover communication and strength through evidence-based music therapy, tailored to your recovery goals.
Dementia Care
Music activates memory—helping those with Alzheimer’s/dementia recall cherished moments while building new neural connections through melody and rhythm. Many of my clients experience the joy of live music-making for the first time, blending remembrance with creative discovery.
End of Life Care
In life’s final stages, music therapy offers a profound bridge—preserving identity through cherished songs, easing emotional distress, and creating space for meaningful connection between patients and loved ones. Supported by clinical evidence, these sessions honor dignity while gently guiding grief processing.
