I am a California licensed clinical psychologist (PSY34697) specializing in developmental psychology (Autism, ADHD, neurodiversity), childhood attachment, and trauma (relational, childhood, complex, acute).  Taking a lifespan approach, I provide therapy and assessment services to clients from young children (age one and up) to adults.

In addition to my private practice, I am the Clinical Training Director and supervising psychologist at a Bay Area non-profit specializing in Autism and developmental evaluation. I am fluent in Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin).
