Therapy can help you navigate your emotional challenges and gain clarity on what factors make you thrive, and which ones limit you. You can learn to identify the patterns that make you stuck and how to change the script.

Despite the darkness that surrounds you, there's a flicker of hope within—a longing for something more, a yearning for healing and transformation. Beneath the surface, there lies a deep-seated pain—a tapestry of traumas that have left scars on your soul, begging to be healed. Anxiety and depression have become unwelcome companions, clouding your mind and stealing your joy.

I believe we all have the innate ability to cope and adapt and I also recognize that these coping behaviors and adaptations can sometimes stop serving us in the way they once did. My aim is to better understand your unique context to help you deepen your self-awareness, develop self-acceptance and discover, together, your path toward the outcomes you are seeking. I believe each person’s story is sacred and that lasting change happens within the context of relationship. I seek to create a person-centered environment where people feel comfortable to heal or grow at their pace in the way that fits their specific needs.

In addition to providing Clinical Counseling, I enjoy treating clients seeking an Asian or Christian Therapist.
Its very rewarding to watch a client evolve to a point where they live life to the max. Its my privilege to walk alongside and see my client progress and thrive. For more than 23 years I have seen clients with multiple presenting issues, and all age ranges. My therapy style is active and goal oriented, and I believe a client is going to get as much out of therapy as they are willing to "behave" into change. I use Adjunct Techniques with traditional therapy such as Biofeedback and Neurofeedback and this has been immensely helpful for many of my clients who do not benefit from traditional forms of therapy or psychiatric medication.

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.
