I am a licensed clinical psychologist {PSY 23399} with passion and commitment in providing mental health services to youths, adults and families in the SF Bay Area and throughout California. I have many years of extensive training and experience working with diverse children, adolescents, young adults and adults who struggle with emotional, behavioral and interpersonal difficulties including but not limited to anxiety, depression, complex trauma and grief and loss.

I am passionate about helping individuals and families who grapple with the impact of immigration, acculturation, oppression and the tension of navigating between conflicting cultures, values, worlds and systems. I am also particularly interested in helping clients explore their identity formation, sense of belonging, and issues related to transgenerational, familial, and cultural roots of trauma, and growth. I am certified in psychedelic therapy and research with CIIS as part of my on-going endeavor to expand definitions and to apply methods of healing especially to the BIPOC community.

I offer psychedelic therapeutic services such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while partner medical teams support your medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes. Please contact me via the website or call to set up a consultation to determine if this is right for you.

In addition to my psychotherapy services, I provide supervision and consultation to psychology trainees and professionals from different stages of their professional development. In addition, I am a professor of clinical psychology and conduct clinical presentations and trainings for various organizations. Lastly, all my professional endeavors are rooted in highlighting and integrating depth-oriented, relational, and social justice lens.

I graduated from Wellesley College with a double major in Psychology and Asian American Studies and received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco. My vigorous clinical training included a predoctoral internship at California Pacific Medical Center, Adult and Child Outpatient clinic and a postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital and Research Center Oakland, Department of Psychiatry.
