I’m here to help you navigate the complexity of trauma, burnout, high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, workplace microaggression, and the bamboo ceiling so that you can enjoy your work and life again.

You don’t have to keep carrying the stories that told you to be small, strong, or silent. That weight is exhausting, fueled by trauma and cultural expectations that shape who you think you should be. In therapy, we dismantle those demands to create space for who you actually are: authentic, free, and at peace.

Wonbin Jung, PhD, LMFT

A single Slack notification or ambiguous email spikes your cortisol, and you’re desperate for a moment where you don't have to be on.

Does this sound familiar?

You hit every KPI and crush your OKRs, but Imposter Syndrome still whispers that you have not done enough.
Rest induces panic because you’ve internalized that your productivity is the only thing keeping you safe.
You gaslight yourself about workplace microaggressions, telling yourself "it’s not that bad”
You can’t distinguish your own ambition from the fear of bringing shame to your family or looking like a failure.
You’ve mastered the art of code-switching to survive the boardroom, but you collapse the moment you log off.
You have the "Golden Handcuffs"—the title, the RSUs, and the approval—but the success feels heavy, not rewarding.

If this resonates, I’m here to help you rewrite the script. You’ve spent a lifetime optimizing for family duty and career milestones; now, let's navigate the complexity of it all to find your freedom. It’s time to live the life you want, not the one assigned by your culture, your parents, or your job title.

Hi, I am Dr. Wonbin, a queer Asian American therapist and PhD specializing in the high-functioning anxiety and silent burnout facing Asian American women in Silicon Valley.

My work is rooted in a childhood where survival meant silence. I wasn't the quiet, obedient daughter; I was hyper-independent and defiant, not to rebel, but to survive the crushing pressure of fitting into the perfect mold of a good Korean daughter. That need to be tough or bulletproof often follows us into our careers, where we navigate the bamboo ceiling and hit every KPI while secretly feeling like a fraud.

The shift happened when I met my old therapist, Kyong Mi. For the first time, I didn’t have to translate my culture, justify my grief, or explain why being a highly educated Asian woman felt like a wound. She saw me without footnotes, and I finally exhaled. That experience has become the blueprint for my practice.

I offer a sanctuary for women in tech, exhausted by code-switching. You will never waste session time educating me about family dynamics or the isolation of the boardroom. Here, you can stop translating your existence and bring your entire self, the tech lead, the cycle-breaker, and the human beneath the title, so you can stop shrinking and start healing.

Specializing in:

Workplace Trauma & Microaggressions

You carry more than just high-stakes projects - you carry the invisible labor of code-switching, the silence of being the "only one," and the weight of the "Bamboo Ceiling." This therapy helps you dismantle the subtle gaslighting of toxic work cultures, heal the sting of daily microaggressions, and reclaim your professional worth so you can navigate your career with authentic confidence, not just survival instincts.
Anxiety & Perfectionism Therapy

When success is expected and rest feels like failure, anxiety often hides behind achievement. This therapy helps Asian American women in tech untangle perfectionism, challenge internalized pressure, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves, beyond silent suffering.
ADHD Evaluation & Coaching

ADHD isn’t just about distraction—it’s about how your brain dances with time, focus, and emotion. Through affirming evaluation and personalized coaching, we help you understand your unique wiring, build supportive habits, and turn overwhelm & self-doubt into clarity and self-trust.
IFS Parts Work Intensive

There’s a reason you feel pulled in different directions—those “parts” of you are trying to protect and survive. In this IFS (Internal Family Systems) intensive, we dive deep to meet those parts with curiosity, not judgment, so you can heal core wounds, unburden your system, and lead from your calm, compassionate Self — to get you better faster than traditional weekly therapy.
