We often come to therapy because we find ourselves feeling lost or overwhelmed by life’s stressors and no longer want to go it alone. I am passionate about supporting people from a multitude of backgrounds in their journey of self-discovery so that they may feel empowered to broaden and enrich their lives and relationships.

I am committed to working in depth, paying special attention toward multicultural perspectives and the unique needs and experiences of each person I work with. I specialize in issues with depression, anxiety, relational or complex trauma, harsh self-expectation and judgment, perfectionism, stagnation, and other performance-related issues. I’ve also had many years of experience with work related to identity, self-exploration, relationships, parenting, family culture, and life transitions.

This is my 7th year working with individuals in psychotherapy. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA, where I received specialized training in assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders. I am also a clinical supervisor and adjunct faculty at the Wright Institute’s doctoral program, and have taught seminars at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center (SFVAMC) and Access Institute for Psychological Services. My professional affiliations include Asian American Psychological Association (AAPA) and the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology (NCSPP).
