PSYCHOANALYST, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR, & SPEAKER

​​I have been a practicing psychologist and psychoanalyst for nearly four decades. Over the course of my career, I have worked in private practice, taught and supervised clinicians, conducted forensic evaluations, and presented nationally and internationally on psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice.

​

My professional interests have evolved through many stages. Early in my career, I was drawn to questions of development, identity, and culture. Over time, my work expanded to include race, trauma, migration, intergenerational experience, and the emotional complexities of belonging. These interests have informed both my clinical work and my writing.

​

In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in psychoanalytic writing, teaching, and professional dialogue. I serve as an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and edited special issues of psychoanalytic journals. I regularly present at national and international conferences on psychoanalysis, race, culture, trauma, identity, and Asian American experience, and continue to collaborate with colleagues across disciplines and professional communities.

​

Beyond psychology and psychoanalysis, I have longstanding interests in literature, philosophy, history, and the arts. These pursuits continue to enrich my understanding of human experience and inform my work as a clinician, writer, and teacher.
