Welcome.
When was the last time you paused to check in with yourself how you’re really doing?
Life moves fast. Days fill quickly, and we move forward as if there’s always somewhere else we need to be. In that movement, we often lose touch with ourselves.
The therapy space can be a gentle reminder that checking in can be a practice. A practice of self-care, self-compassion, and attention to the present moment. Through storytelling, reflection, and the rhythm of regular sessions, it offers a simple practice of slowing down, paying attention, and meeting ourselves with a little more kindness. This is an invitation to slow down and notice what it really means to be human, right now.
Meet Rosaline
My name is Rosaline, and I am a licensed psychologist providing individual psychotherapy for adults (18+) in California. I speak English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. My work is grounded in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, relational, and multicultural approaches, and is neurodiversity-affirming. Throughout the therapy process, I pay close attention to my client’s relational patterns, the influence of family and culture, and what emerges between us during each session. My philosophy is to gently provide my clients with insight and empathize with emotional depth, as it is important to feel understood rather than just “treated.”
Most of my clients come to me seeking insight into relationship patterns, perfectionism, identity, belonging, neurodivergence (ADHD/autistic traits), and living with chronic illness or disability. Some of the clients I really enjoy working with are high-achieving individuals navigating multiple roles, high expectations, and feeling “not enough.”
My practice is a good fit if you are interested in insight-oriented psychotherapy that engages both your strengths and your pain, and if you’re curious about understanding—not only managing—your experiences and symptoms. If this description resonates with you, you’re welcome to reach out to schedule a brief phone consultation
你好！我是 Rosaline，持有加州與賓州執照的心理師，提供 18 歲以上成人的心理治療服務，治療語言包含英文、中文與台語。我的工作取向以心理動力／精神分析、關係取向與多元文化觀點為基礎，並採取認同神經多樣性（neurodiversity-affirming）的立場。在治療歷程中，我會特別留意個案的人際互動模式、原生家庭與文化脈絡的影響，以及每次晤談中，心理師與個案之間所出現的互動經驗。我希望能提供一個讓個案能被真正看見與理解的空間，而不只是「被評估」或「被治療」。我相信治療的核心，不僅是為了解決問題或改善症狀，更是在一個安全的關係裡，能被接住、理解情緒，並逐步累積更多自我覺察與洞見。
多數來找我晤談的個案，通常希望能對一些特定議題有更清晰、準確的理解，例如：反覆出現的人際關係模式、完美主義、身分認同與歸屬感、神經多樣性相關經驗（如 ADHD／自閉特質），以及慢性疾病或身心障礙對生活的影響。在我的個案中，有許多是高成就者，包括國際學生、移民與移民二代、旅居海外的工作者，以及正處於生涯初期或中期的專業人士。他們往往對自己有很高的期望與要求，同時承擔多重角色與外界的高度期待，卻仍時常感到自己「不夠好」。
如果你正在尋找的是一種重視自我覺察與情感深度的心理治療方式——能同時看見既有的優勢與能力，也能看見痛苦與難處——並且對「認識與理解自己」有興趣，不只滿足於「勉強撐過去」或「把症狀壓下去」，那麼我的工作取向可能會適合你。如果以上描述讓你有一些共鳴，歡迎來信與我聯繫，我們可以安排一段簡短的電話諮詢。
