I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and I have 10 years of experience treating children, teens, parents, and adults in psychotherapy.

I received my Doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, San Francisco. I additionally have a Master’s degree in clinical psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I trained at community mental health agencies and in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools in the greater Bay Area and in Los Angeles. I completed my pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training, with a specialization in children and their families, from the Ann Martin Center.

I am a Psychological Associate and a first-generation, queer, Vietnamese/Chinese American, fourth-year PsyD student at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I received my bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Davis with a minor in Human Development. Later, I earned my master’s in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. My psychotherapy training includes work with the College Wellness Program in San Pablo, Carl B. Metoyer Center for Family Counseling in Deep East Oakland, and Community Youth Center of San Francisco.

My areas of speciality include working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families experiencing complex trauma, neurodiversity (ASD and ADHD), behavioral/emotional challenges, academic issues, family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, body image concerns, identity navigation, and those impacted by the foster care and juvenile justice systems. My work is developmentally appropriate, strength-based, and trauma-informed. Therefore, I heavily prioritize safety, tenderness, and cultural sensitivity within the therapeutic relationship. I employ an integrative approach in my practice, combining psychodynamic, narrative, family systems, play therapy, multicultural, and social justice frameworks. I also honor and respect collaboration with parents, guardians, or other supportive individuals, recognizing that children do not develop through this world alone.

Additionally, I am passionately committed to supporting folks who are seeking to deepen their relationships to themselves and their communities by cultivating a practice of awareness, compassion, and embodiment. In our work together, you are truly welcome exactly as you are. I believe you already have within yourself the gifts, wisdom, and capacity you need to create a life that is most deeply fulfilling for you. Our process is collaborative; you are the expert on yourself, and I am committed to your thriving. I invite us to sit together with the emotions that might have felt too heavy to carry and too overwhelming to face alone. With curiosity and compassion, we gradually bring greater clarity and balance to your inner and external world. You can finally begin to unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, and instead learn to envision and embody your wholeness.

I look forward to hearing from you and deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with you!
