Empower Your Mind & Body

Hello there, my name is Winnie and welcome to my website. 

 

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of California (PSY26957) and Hawaii (PSY1501). I am a Bay Area Native and it brings me much joy to work in the community that I grew up in. I am the daughter of refugee parents who escaped their home country in search of a better life for themselves. What they have lost and sacrificed has become the foundation of my identity. I am bonded to joining and hearing people's life story- my curiosity enhances awareness in myself and others, and my devotion to making the world a better place allows me to be dedicated to every person that I encounter and serve. 

​

My undergraduate studies took place at the University of California-Davis where I obtained my Bachelor's degree in both Psychology and Sociology. My graduate studies was at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA where I obtained my Doctoral in Clinical Psychology.

 

I have been practicing in the Bay Area since 2007 serving children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am trained in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialetical Behavior Therapy) and FBT (Family Based Treatment for Eating Disorders). My style is Integrative with an emphasis on Mindfulness, Narrative, and Trauma Informed Care. ​My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic.

 

My mission is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their challenges, build resilience, and enhance their emotional well-being. My methods are strength-based and I meet people with where they are at. With a focus on empowerment and growth, I am committed to helping people navigate life's complexities with clarity and strength. 

​

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with love ones, scuba-diving, reading, hiking with my dog, baking, exercising, and watching football.
