I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working primarily with children, teens, and young adults through a wide range of challenges. My specializations include working with individuals experiencing issues related to self-esteem, mild depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Additionally, I have substantial experience in addressing concerns stemming from traumatic experiences, having received training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Moreover, I proudly identify as a clinician of color, specifically of Asian Pacific Islander heritage, and I am committed to offering therapy and access to individuals from diverse backgrounds. I hold a BA in Psychology from Dominican University of California, an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco, and a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into specifics challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Treatment methods and tools in our work together may include and are not limited to attachment-based, person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based, emotion-focused, solution-focused, strengths-based, and/or culturally sensitive approaches.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In our collaboration, the goal is to meet you where you are in your own individual experience. I strive to establish a secure environment that fosters the freedom to express yourself without fear of judgment, ultimately promoting a profound sense of being seen, heard, and understood.
