Welcome!
I’m so glad you are taking the time to seek out therapeutic support for yourself. I know it can be daunting, and you may be wondering if therapy will be helpful to you or if your therapist will understand you. I get it, and encourage you to take your time to find a good fit for you. If you have any questions about what it could be like to work together please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I’m Angela (pronouns: she/her/hers), an Asian American licensed clinical psychologist based in the San Francisco Bay Area and providing therapy online throughout California.
I specialize in working with adult children of immigrants, people of color, and historically marginalized folks. I often work with folks struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, people pleasing, and worry that they will never be "enough" regardless of how much they outwardly “achieve.” There may be parts of themselves they feel are difficult to explore or express, and worry that these parts may not be understood or supported by others. Additionally, being a new parent myself, I feel motivated to assist others in this incredible and often challenging journey.
Many of my clients work with me to process intergenerational trauma, and relationship issues with their family of origin or romantic relationships. Clients frequently report experiencing challenges with anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, identity concerns, and career concerns. Many are young professionals striving to find their place in tech, healthcare, and creative/artistic fields and entrepreneurship. Clients often describe wanting to “thrive” and not just “survive,” but grapple with guilt and internal conflict in finding what this could look like for them.

Taking the next step
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone conversation, during which we’ll work together to figure out if we are a good match. I will ask you some questions to learn about what’s leading you to seek support at this time and offer space for you to ask any questions you might have.
