About
Amanda
Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a clinician with over 11 years of experience, and I focus on supporting clients navigating a variety of life challenges. My core philosophy is that you are the true expert on your own life—I am simply here to guide and support you in discovering the best version of yourself. Together, we will work to understand the root causes of what may be impacting you. I specialize in working with communities of color, as well as individuals navigating mid-life transitions, career shifts, relationship changes and challenges, and the unique evolutions of adulthood.
In my free time, I love traveling the world trying local foods and embracing different cultures and experiencing the energy of live events, whether it's music, sports, or stand-up comedy. As a second-generation Asian-American and Bay Area native, I am deeply passionate about expanding access to mental health care and breaking down the biases and taboos associated with mental health within our community.
