5-generation Asian American male, I understand the challenges of navigating life with ethnic minority parents.
Feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, responsibilities, and career obligations? Remember, “I may not be there yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday.” This quote is about acknowledging progress. I understand how difficult and scary it can be to make that first significant step towards change. Therefore, I strive to create a safe and trustworthy environment to help clients uncover their true inner potential. Together, we can find innovative ways to manage stress and challenges throughout your journey.

As an Asian American, I’m especially dedicated to helping clients embrace their unique identities and empowering those who may feel underrepresented in the mental health space.
Maintaining and nurturing marriages, relationships, family dynamics, and even a sense of community can often feel both challenging and overwhelming. I specialize in helping couples and individuals cultivate deeper connections, foster authentic love in their relationships, and feel genuinely known within their communities. For couples, my goal is to help you feel seen, known, and loved by each other, rekindling the feeling of being best friends. For individuals, I’m passionate about exploring relationship trauma, family of origin, attachment issues, dating challenges, and identifying those relationship cycles that hold you back.

It’s not uncommon to find ourselves lost in a whirlpool of sadness, confusion, and adversity. “Transforming Scars into Stars”—This philosophy captures the essence of my personal and professional life. I firmly believe that we can shine most brilliantly in our moments of brokenness, like a radiant mosaic.

How harsh or gentle is the voice you use when speaking to yourself? Imagine how different the world might feel if that inner voice were more compassionate and understanding. Our sense of self is intertwined with how others perceive and treat us. My goal in therapy is to listen deeply, to help you discover the resources already present in your life, acknowledge the obstacles and challenges you've overcome, and affirm that your feelings and longings are valid. Together, new ways of experiencing yourself can be uncovered. Together, we can forge a path toward a brighter future!

I have been working with clients of all ages including adolescents, the young adult population, children, and parents throughout my career through clinical interventions for challenging mental health issues, or coaching for the parents to go through the tough time for their teens. I believe that the most powerful thing during the therapy is the person's unique strength and desire for change. Emotional regulation is the key while rebuilding the new neurological pathway for our brain to process difficult life experiences.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
