Licensed Psychologist CA PSY 34866
- Doctorate (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute, an APA accredited program
- Master of Science (MS) in Biomedical Sciences from Midwestern University
- Pre-Doctoral Internship and Post-Doctoral Training at WestCoast Children’s Clinic, an APA accredited program
- Five years of experience providing evaluations and therapy for children and adolescents (ages 3-17)
As a Licensed Psychologist, I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I have worked in a variety of settings as both a therapist and an evaluator. This includes working with young adults at a College Continuation High School Program, with students at a K-12 Charter School, with foster youth at an outpatient mental health clinic, and with preschoolers and kindergarteners at UCSF Benioff Oakland Children’s Hospital’s Center for the Vulnerable Child. My approach to psychoeducational evaluations is informed by the therapeutic collaborative assessment model. I work very closely with caregivers, teachers, social workers, and other providers to learn about a child’s strengths and areas of need.
Prior to embarking on the journey towards becoming a psychologist, I worked as a medical research associate, as well as a medical translator (Vietnamese/English). I also have professional working proficiency in Spanish.
I grew up in the Bay Area and love living close to the beach and mountains. In my free time, I enjoy road trips and riding bikes with my family, watching sports, cooking, baking with my toddler, and making ice cream.
