We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. Even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads, and thriving careers can at times become a major stressor. If you are here, you may be in that moment now - feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. I provide individuals, couples and relationships of every kind a place to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on. I also work with teens and young adults who are often under great pressure balancing school, life, and growing up, offering a calm space to find their footing.

I am glad you are here! I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with individuals and couples. I aim to help you get unstuck and enliven the direction you want to go with compassion, humor, and my clinical experience that spans over a decade. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, including first-generation, LGBTQ+, or those lacking a sense of belonging at times. I work from a social justice framework to help clients dismantle internalized systems of oppression in order to live meaningfully, despite us having to exist in these realities.

In a life of conflict, we crave peace. In a world of alienation, we yearn for love. And in an era of disconnect, we long for understanding. So let's make all that happen. I'm here to help you choose your own adventure. Creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, freelancers, inventors, philosophers, athletes, magicians, pirates, heretics, and renegade chocolatiers...I am here for you. You too can claim a compassionate yesterday, craft a clear today, and create a confident tomorrow.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, with a special focus on Asian and other POC immigrant and cross-cultural families who have experienced complex trauma. I believe our symptoms make sense when viewed through the lens of our early experiences, family histories, and the systems we live in. We often develop resilience and survival strategies in difficult situations that may no longer serve us well. Therapy is most effective when it addresses the root causes of these issues, not just the symptoms you're experiencing now.

Are you experiencing issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, loss of identity, trauma, or lack of confidence? Are these issues causing you to neglect your own self-care, misuse substances, and/or isolate from family and friends? Do you need support with navigating personal or professional relationships? Are you exploring your sexual or gender identity? Managing a major life transition or preparing for one? These are the times when therapy can be helpful. We can work together to identify your goals, improve your quality of life, and develop a strong sense of self in the process.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a teacher and artist locally and internationally, I have worked with individuals ranging from preschoolers to elders, including those with diverse abilities, needs, and strengths. As a Drama Therapist focusing on Transgenerational Therapy, mindfulness and Feminist Psychology, I bring play, humor, and deep self-inquiry to the therapeutic work we engage in together. The experience of expressing oneself through a creative process can provide fresh perspectives and a sense of hope and empowerment.

I provide Tele-health therapy for clients in both California and Pennsylvania. Therapy provides a space to speak freely and be heard with care that can provide a person with more internal space for lived experience, emotion, thought and desire. In psychotherapy, you can express your thoughts and feelings and gain insight into the unconscious sources of your conflicts. With warmth and curiosity, I will provide an attentive ear and a thoughtful mind.

I help people of color and people in the queer community who live in California or Missouri who live with depression, anxiety, and/or are recovering from trauma. If you feel sad most days of the week, maybe you can feel less sad for shorter periods of time. If anxiety pays you a visit 1000 times a day, maybe you can feel less anxious during stressful moments. Some of us have experienced one or more traumas: abuse or neglect in childhood, sexual assault as an adult, getting fired unfairly, experiencing police brutality, interpersonal violence within our relationships, etc.

Hello! My name is Annu, and I am a therapist in San Francisco (and online). I work with immigrants and adult-children of immigrants....also known as Third Culture Kids (TCK) or First Generation Americans. I work with multi-cultural and multi-racial couples, many of whom are people of color. I work with successful, career-driven achievers. I belong to each of these demographics - my parents immigrated to the US in 1971, and I worked in the corporate world for nearly 2 decades, climbing the corporate ladder rapidly before pivoting my career by going back to school to study counseling psychology. I work virtually via Zoom or phone.

I am passionate about helping clients understand and rise above that unwanted presence that has likely been a steady companion for some time — anxiety. This anxious part of the brain can have quite a loud voice, triggering uncomfortable symptoms that lead you to avoid what you fear. You can then become stuck in a smaller, less vibrant life, one where you stop pursuing what matters most. Anxiety can show up in the form of worry that is difficult to control, public speaking anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, health anxiety, and work stress/burnout. I also treat insomnia, which can be a related problem.

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.
