Hi, I'm Nhu (she/they)—
My approach to therapy is deeply shaped by my own lived experience, and is grounded in an intersectional lens that honors the identities, systems, and experiences that have shaped who we are. Although individual therapy cannot eliminate the realities of systemic oppression or the challenges of navigating a complex world, it can be a space to process your experiences, build resilience, cultivate clarity, and deepen self-trust. Together, we’ll work toward a life that honors who you are and supports the future you hope to build.
"There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives."

Professional and Clinical Experience
Like many people with ADHD, I've found that following my curiosity has shaped a non-linear career path. After earning a B.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University, I worked as a software engineer across startups and large technology companies before pursuing clinical training as a therapist. My background in technology continues to inform my work, bringing a thoughtful, structured, and goal-oriented approach while giving me firsthand insight into the pressures, challenges, and high expectations many professionals face.
I later earned a Master of Clinical Social Work (MSW) from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and completed specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). My practice also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.
I have experience working in various non-profit and community-based settings, including Apex for Youth and the Asiyah Women's Center, where I provided individual therapy for queer, neurodivergent women of color navigating later-in-life ADHD and Autism diagnosis (including executive functioning and relational challenges), intergenerational trauma, and the pressures of competitive professional environments across tech, finance, and media. My graduate research focused on identifying how to support the unique needs of neurodivergent adults, including high-achieving ADHDers, in workplace settings.
My clinical focus surrounds supporting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Asian Americans, neurodivergent folks, and those experiencing chronic anxiety/stress, trauma (including cPTSD), and career burnout.
