I help you untangle the complexity of trauma, cultural & societal pressure to be perfect, so you can trade the constant 'shoulds' for a life that you choose for yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

You constantly wear a mask to fit in. And you're exhausted from doing it at work, at school, and sometimes even at home with the people you love.
You’ve mastered the art of being "fine" while privately drowning in sensory overload, executive dysfunction, or the anxiety of missing unspoken social cues.
Rest feels like a risk because you are stuck in a relentless cycle of hyper-focus and deep burnout, constantly trying to catch up to a neurotypical pace.
You’re caught between two worlds: trying to fulfill heavy family or cultural expectations while protecting your own mental and energetic capacity.
Your relationships feel strained by invisible friction. You're either fighting about differing executive functioning styles, feeling disconnected because of chronic masking, or feeling like you keep missing the mark with your partner.
You’ve learned to be hyper-independent because asking for what you actually need feels like admitting defeat.

If you’re ready to walk away from the script, let’s begin.
You don't have to keep playing the part of the successful one to be worthy of a seat at the table. We work together to find your freedom:
from cultural and familial pressure
from self-imposed perfectionism;
from masking so much living/working in a neurotypical world that you feel exhausted all the time;
from a life lived for others.

I’m Dr. Wonbin (she/her).

It’s nice to meet you. I am a first-generation queer immigrant therapist from South Korea. I accidentally fell into this field by applying to “a wrong program” when I sent in my application for graduate school. And the rest is history (self-disclosure for my ADHD moment; oops.)

I am passionate about working with teens and Gen Z & Millennial adults who navigate their neurodivergence and trauma in relationships, schools, and the workplace. This passion stems from my own experience of growing up in South Korea where there was virtually no mental health support for kids/young adults like me.

Many teens and young adults with some form of neurodivergence have probably experienced moments where they didn’t feel like they could fit in or there was something wrong with them.

You might remember hearing you are too sensitive or too emotional when you had a hard time regulating your emotion.

You might’ve been passed up on promotion because you do not have great social skills, though you are a high performer.

You feel like you keep on missing the mark in your relationships and don’t know what went wrong.

Now you make yourself small so you are not noticed or so you don’t fail in relationships and in the workplace.

I help neurodivergent teens and adults deconstruct neurotypical expectations that work against their brains, unlearn the chronic masking that leaves them exhausted, and build a life that works for how they actually function.

Together, we will process the trauma of trying to fit into a world that wasn't built for you, so you can stop shrinking, trust your own perspective, and finally feel connected to the version of you that is real.

Specializing in:

Asian American Therapy

You carry the intergenerational weight of the model minority myth and the silence of the perfect child. This therapy helps you dismantle the toxic culture of comparison, heal the sting of microaggressions, and reclaim your inherent worth. Together, we can shift from just 'getting through the week' to actually feeling at home in your own identity.
In-home Family Therapy (100-min)

Real change doesn't always happen in a sterile office or on the screen; it happens in the living room, around the kitchen table, and in the spaces where your family’s stories are actually told. For families in the South Bay and Peninsula, I offer in-home sessions that allow us to work within the living laboratory of your daily life. By meeting in your own environment, we can more effectively identify the silent dynamics, break the cycles of intergenerational pressure, and build a new culture of communication right where it matters most.
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.
