Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and depleted from being pulled in many directions. You want to say no but find yourself saying yes instead, fearing that family and friends will get angry or be disappointed if you say no. You worry it may jeopardize your relationships if you do. Each time you think about setting a boundary, you feel anxious, or guilty, and sometimes even selfish for considering it. You want to live your own life. However, prioritizing yourself and honoring your own needs seems almost impossible. At times, you feel stuck, unable to know what you want, or focus on your life goals and dreams because you have little energy

Wine Trail Behavioral Health, LLC is a private practice devoted to the notion that the provision of competent services is based on an appreciation of interpersonal (i.e., relational) as well as intrapersonal factors in the etiology and maintenance of emotional and behavioral problems. Toward this end, a broader more ecologically oriented framework that targets the multiple contexts in which children and families are embedded, is adopted. Importantly, this approach to treatment is consistent with causal modeling literature in the areas of child and adolescent psychopathology, and has received empirical support in controlled clinical trials.

It can be hard to admit you’re struggling. You’ve already done most of the hard work by seeking out help. If you are trying to understand how relationships, education, work, and culture interact in your life, therapy can be a safe place to make sense of it all. As an Asian American man, I recognize how identities, relationships, and mental health intersect. I didn't grow up with emotional language, so finding mental health therapy in my 20s has been transformational. As a child of immigrants and a parent myself, I have experienced intergenerational relationships from multiple roles.

My ideal client can be anyone. I approach counseling from a wellness model, which means that I believe that people are inherently good, and that people tend to thrive under the right conditions. I am most interested in creating deep and lasting changes, and for most people this is long-term work. My clients tend to find me warm and approachable, but also clear and direct in my communication.

When I first meet clients, I encourage them to be fascinated by the way their mind works. An ideal component of a successful therapy is when clients become curious about themselves, which allows them to gain insight into their problems. I personally believe, based on my research and experience, that what the human mind concentrates on has an influence on what happens in one's life. By watching the patterns of our thoughts we can modify and redirect them, with the goal of making healthier and more life-affirming decisions. The human mind has evolved to focus on problems and to anticipate more of them in the future.

We all have a purpose in life; for some, it is clear from an early age, and for others, it may take some time. You may be at the crossroads of trying to figure out your meaning in life or understanding your purpose. It can be difficult and scary to move forward when the path is unclear. Especially, when we have the feeling that we do not have the full picture. I am already proud of you for seeking and asking for help. As the doubt and the “what-ifs” become louder; you may be hesitant in taking the next step. It all starts with understanding yourself
