Growing up as the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants in the Bay Area, I have firsthand experience navigating multiple cultural contexts and the expectations, strengths, and stressors that can accompany them. These experiences shape my approach to psychological assessment services. As an Asian American psychologist, I am deeply informed by the stories of my community and by a belief that psychological services should be accessible, respectful, and empowering.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2016 with a minor in Asian American Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and my doctoral degree in 2021 in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. I completed my predoctoral internship at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and my postdoctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente Fremont’s Department of Mental Health in Adult and Child Psychiatry. I have conducted assessment and worked clinically with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a wide range of settings, including schools, community mental health, forensic environments, colleges, hospitals, and integrated healthcare systems.
I strive to create a comfortable, supportive, and confidential environment in which clients and families feel safe to share their experiences. I approach assessment with curiosity, cultural humility, and care, recognizing that test results are only meaningful when understood within the context of a person’s lived experiences. My goal is not simply to diagnose, but to provide clear, accurate, and compassionate insights that can guide next steps. My aim is for individuals and families to leave the assessment process feeling seen, understood, and empowered with greater clarity about themselves and a path forward that aligns with their needs and values.
