Even in the first couple sessions, many of my clients are asked to view things in ways they haven't considered before.
Hello! I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience supporting both individuals and couples. Much of my work has focused on supporting a few specific populations including founders and other organization leaders in the Bay Area, gay men and the broader LGBTQIA+ community, those struggling with anxiety, and people with ADHD. I specialize in ACT, an evidence-based methodology rooted in mindfulness that, at its core, is about helping people get unstuck. In my work with couples, I also specialized in The Gott man Method, an evidence-based approach backed by 50 years of clinical research.

As a therapist at UCSF, Kaiser Per manente, and now Pathwork Therapy, I have worked with a variety of conditions, from mild to severe.
My approach to therapy begins with evidence-based treatment, addressing the immediate reasons you’re seeking support, followed by deeper work with the subconscious once your day to day becomes more stable. Together we can return agency to your life by collaborating on tangible solutions while uncovering the origin of limiting beliefs. I work with couples and individuals to recalibrate patterns of behavior that leave them struggling with depression, anxiety, co-dependency, or substance use.

Demographics of my clients tend to include LGBTQ+ folx, poly/open relationships, straight men, adoptees, and South Asians.
My typical clients struggle with shame and perfectionism, often preventing them from living fulfilling lives. When stuck in shame, people may question if they're “good enough” in multiple areas of their lives, which creates a cycle of shame that is difficult to get out of alone. I specialize in areas of insecure attachment, attachment/family trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, sex and gender, obsession/rumination, and anxiety. I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and am certified in EMDR.

A large amount of the therapy I do, creates per manent change in the brain.
The most important questions is: "What pain brought you here? What is the hardest issue for you to deal with?" The most important result of the first session is that you walk out feeling that I understand you and will be able to be your ally in working through your issues. In other words we need to like each other and you need to feel that I have the expertise to handle your problems and not judge you.

Are you making it through the day, looking to the rest of the world as if you're doing just fine, but deep down inside you feel stuck and uninspired? Do you wonder what is holding you back from thriving in the world? In our hectic world we often find ourselves afraid to take risks that could jeopardize the stable lives we've created for ourselves. We remain in jobs, relationships and old patterns that no longer work, while symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and self-defeating patterns keep us from making real changes to our lives.

I've worked with many young adults and adolescents; if you are a parent of an adolescent, feel free to reach out.
You’ve reached a point where you need more support. Maybe you’re feeling alone, questioning parts of your identity, or wanting a safe place to process something that’s been gnawing at you. In therapy, we can identify these issues and start better understanding yourself, and gain more direction and confidence. You and your partner may feel misunderstood by each other, want to communicate better, and want more space for each person’s feelings and needs. You might want more, but are not sure yet, or want something different. We can work to establish better communication and appreciation between you and your partner.

We'll refine who you are as a unique hu man being, where your passions lie, how to hold onto and bring them into the world.
Do you know what you want?
Do you want to be free? Happy? Relaxed in your body? Content? Passionate and sexy? Courageous in the face of fear? More connected to your partner or to the Divine?
How do you get in the way of living the life you want?
Do you constantly judge yourself? Noticing all the ways you "fail" to live up to way you "should" be.
Or do you tend to direct that criticism outwards? Blaming others, feeling envy, or always waiting for external circumstances to line up just right so you can finally live how you want.

I have 20+ years experience assisting clients to overcome issues related to Anxiety, Mid-Life Crisis, Burnout, Anger, Depression, Addictive/Compulsive Behavior. My clients say they appreciate my "genuine, therapuetic connection", my "warm, grounded, interactive therapy sessions"; my "solid multi-cultural competency". I am not the kind of therapist that sits and nods. I actively work with you to explore what is hapening and identify the best possible solutions. Finding the right therapist is tricky. This is why I am happy to talk with you on the phone before we decide to work together.

As someone who’s intellectually and/or emotionally brilliant, you likely excel in many areas of your life—whether as a high-achiever, leader, or visionary, yet you have a hard time saying no. You have become so good at helping others that you don't know how to turn it off or down. In fact, when someone asks you what you need, you have no idea how to answer that question. The idea that you need anything makes you feel confused and sometimes nauseous. You’d welcome help, but you don't have any faith or trust in people. You wish you could have relationships with others where you are able to say what you think and feel.

We're artists, leaning into the world & willing our lives. And rapture, an essential feeling, leads us outward to be more truly ‘there’. Heidegger thus interprets Nietzsche’s “will to power:” A strong, full-bodied interest & movement towards the world, before us as a possibility but not always chosen. Poignantly, Heidegger (1961) names a “fallen” state: “Of someone who is intoxicated...he [sic] 'has' something like rapture. But his is not enraptured. The rapture of intoxication [does not raise one] beyond himself. What we are here calling rapture is merely...being 'soused,' something depriv[ing] us of every possible state of being."

As an Asian American male who has experienced, taught and presented on racial/ethnic dynamics and identity issues, I have a deep appreciation for the way life's challenges can be further complicated by problems that stem from intergenerational and intercultural conflicts, especially with our intersecting identities.
If you are struggling with unbearable feelings, loneliness, identity issues, shame, guilt, and/or relationship difficulties, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore yourself in relation to your world. My approach rests on the belief that our ways of understanding and coping with the present may be limited by our previous experiences. By working together, we find new expanded ways to help you understand and cope more effectively.

AUTHENTICITY, ALIVENESS, and CONNECTION are vital ingredients to living a healthy and meaningful life. Unfortunately these qualities do not always receive the proper attention needed to thrive. As a result, we develop coping strategies that often lead us to not getting what we want in life, leaving us feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, and hopeless. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck. Therapy can help you make meaningful change to live the life you wish and to create the relationships you long for.
