As a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Child Study Center, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to helping children and teens navigate the complexities of their emotions, mental health, and life transitions. My approach to care is centered on understanding and supporting kids and families through their toughest times, providing them with the tools to build a healthier future. I believe in the importance of listening, understanding, and offering a sense of safety and hope during the most vulnerable moments.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders in children and adolescents. My role as a pediatric emergency psychiatrist allows me to make an immediate and meaningful impact, particularly during crises. My experience in pediatric emergency psychiatry has equipped me with unique skills in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care, which are essential to provide comprehensive and compassionate support to my patients.
My journey to child and adolescent psychiatry began long before I started medical school. Immigrating to the United States from Hong Kong at age 6, I faced the challenges of adjusting to a new country, language, and culture. This experience sparked my interest in helping youths overcome adversity and thrive. My educational background and personal experiences have profoundly shaped my dedication to this field, and I am honored to be part of NYU Langone, where I can collaborate with colleagues to provide patients with the highest standard of coordinated care.
