My name is Kimberly and counseling is more than just a job to me. It is both my profession and passion. As a bilingual mental health counselor fluent in English and Mandarin and former international student, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, understanding firsthand the challenges of navigating through various cultural contexts. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity, and I am committed to providing a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you can feel free to explore your concerns.
I use a strength-based and person-centered approach as the foundation of my work, believing that my clients have what it takes to make changes and thrive. In addition, I employ various evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, positive psychology and mindfulness-based interventions through trauma-informed lenses. I am dedicated to creating an environment that welcomes feedback and reflection on the therapeutic relationship to help ensure our sessions align with your unique needs and goals. Thus, I will regularly ask for feedback to help me make necessary adjustments and collaborate with you on determining the best way forward in our therapeutic journey together. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, my goal is to empower you to make meaningful changes and build a stronger sense of self. I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges, grow, and heal—at your pace and on your terms.
When I am not at work, I enjoy exploring food spots from different cultures, taking my dog on new hiking trails, and spending quality time with my family.
We provide compassionate support through individual, couples, and family therapy, helping you explore emotions, strengthen relationships, and build tools for lasting growth.
"The quality of staff at New Leaf is superb. I would describe their attitude as excellence. At a struggle point in my career and family life, the guidance I received at New Leaf was nothing short of a miracle. If anyone has mental health needs to be taken care of, they would be lucky to be served by New Leaf."

From the first call, they helped me understand my insurance options and matched me with a therapist who truly listens. For the first time, I feel like I’m making real progress—learning to manage my anxiety and set boundaries. Their culturally responsive approach made me feel seen and valued.”

“Finding a therapist in NYC felt overwhelming until I found New Leaf. The team was caring and responsive, and I appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling. My partner and I started couples therapy here, and it’s completely changed the way we communicate. We’ve built trust again and feel more connected than ever. Having a diverse team that understands different perspectives made a huge difference in our experience.”
