Welcome! I’m Diane (pronouns: she/her), a licensed clinical psychologist in California with extensive experience working with trauma, eating disorders/body image concerns, anxiety, and identity exploration. My heart’s work includes supporting activists & organizers, creatives (e.g., artists, writers, actors), and fellow healthcare professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, therapists). I’ve dedicated 13+ years to providing therapy to college and graduate students; so I’m adept at helping people navigate early adulthood challenges such as career transitions, relationship issues, and burnout.

I was born and raised in San Francisco, and am a proud Asian American, queer, cis woman. As a daughter of a first generation Chinese American and an immigrant from the Philippines, serving the Asian community and all racial minorities is my passion. As a “recovering perfectionist,” I seek to help my clients appreciate and honor their humanness. Outside of work, I am a yogi, proud auntie, co-parent to 2 kitties, foodie, and globetrotter.

Social justice and advocacy are integral to who I am as a psychologist and a person. In addition to serving my fellow Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDAs), I stand for all BIPOC communities, immigrant rights, Palestinian liberation, undocumented and mixed status folks, and the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m committed to anti-racism, decolonizing mental health, and to liberation of all oppressed folks.
