We all face stress at some point in our lives. It may be caused by transitions or major life events such as physical illness, becoming a parent, losing a loved one, going through a traumatic event, relationship issues, or work stress. Psychotherapy aims to help you understand your emotions towards better control of them, improve your experience of life, change unhealthy behaviors, relieve emotional distress, improve your role in relationships, and cope with stressors.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California (PSY 25228), specializing in psychotherapy for adults, children, and families. My approach to working with clients is collaborative and from a strength-based model. I aim to be respectful of your individual strengths, struggles, and goals.
I specialize in treatment of anxiety disorders (general anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, OCD), depression, grief and bereavement, pregnancy- and postpartum-related issues, and trauma. As children grow, they are faced with social, emotional, relational, and academic experiences that shape their overall development, and being a teen is a particularly challenging time filled with unique stressors and pressures.
There are enough barriers to receiving mental health support like a busy family and/or work schedule and commuting. To alleviate a barrier, I now offer therapy sessions via a secured video platform that you can access from a computer or phone. For most cases, I recommend that the initial sessions take place in-person to establish rapport and to collaborate with you to determine therapeutic goals before transitioning to teletherapy.
I accept private pay clients and clients who are using their out-of-network benefits. If you are using your out-of-network benefits for insurance, a super-bill can be provided for submission to your insurance company. Please contact your insurance company for reimbursement rates. Please contact me 48 hours in advance if you cannot make your appointment.

Report
We reached out to Kaiser due to a crisis in the family and they got us over to Ms. Wong. After a few minutes of talking Ms. Wong, she asked what "she could do for us". We stated that it was not the right time to be asking those questions. Immediately, she got defensive and we questioned her professionalism "that a PsyD should never get defensive" and shouldn't she be helping us. Surprisingly the phone disconnected and since we didn't have her number, we couldn't call back immediately. She never called back either.
