I am trauma therapist and provide individual counseling sessions for those who struggle with emotional regulation, low self-esteem and relational issues. If you are super self-critical or feeling worthless, I am here to help you restore your capacity to heal, grow and thrive and become a person who you truly are. Therapy may sound daunting, but together we can create a space to practice emotional regulation and/or change your old patterns to live life fully.

Many of us spend a long time running away from the true essence of ourselves. We abandon ourselves to be accepted by others or praised by a society that wants a specific version of us. This ultimately leads us with pain that we find various ways to numb. Together, we can explore, feel, and heal this pain.

My primary aim in my work is to meet my clients "where they are" by tuning in to their unique concerns and creating an atmosphere where they feel acknowledged and at ease. My style is warm, empathic and engaged which, combined with my acumen as a seasoned clinician, helps adults, children, parents and families feel comfortable and secure. Within this safe space, my clients express their concerns and work to repair and optimize wholesome development with professional recommendations that help to inform a collaborative therapeutic plan.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in relationships, couples therapy, and trauma. Helping people heal and find their way to a vibrant life and fulfilling relationships is my true calling. My role is to help you become more effective in navigating your life experiences and relationship and creating the life you want. My stance is authentic, collaborative, empathetic, and holistic, and our work together is a dynamic conversation that brings healing and growth. I honor and appreciate the diversity of identities and backgrounds and strive to provide a safe space for you to feel seen and understood.

I have experience working with a wide range of patients from young children to older adults. I approach therapy from a patient-focused and strengths-based lens, believing that each individual has the capacity to overcome life's challenges when it comes to all areas of work, relationships, and family. Additionally, growing up in a Chinese (Fujianese) immigrant family in America, I understand the impact of generational trauma and cultural identity struggles that first generational individuals and people of color may deal with. I work with patients and within the community to mend and grow from these experiences.

Aspen treats clients across the lifespan as they navigate family conflict, anxiety and depression, performance issues in school and work, mood disorders, trauma, gender, sexuality, race, culture, and life transitions.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

Welcome to my profile, and thank you for taking the time to read it. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions, I'm here to help.

Hello and welcome! With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety/phobias, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, weight/body concerns, and trauma. I'm also very effective in helping others manage stress, particularly around career/work issues, health concerns, grief, procrastination, perfectionism, artistic blocks and major life changes. My style is interactive, very supportive and focused on you reaching your goals. I'll provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to express your feelings and explore issues in depth. My priority is that you feel "heard" and fully accepted.

Life is difficult, and what makes it difficult usually involves other people. You can't change them, and changing yourself... who wants to stop being themselves to please other people? What you CAN change is how you RELATE to other people: how you act, how you think, what you're willing to put up with. A lot of pain is caused by our own limited view of ourselves; we contain much more than we know. I do talk therapy and art therapy, either or both -- that's up to you. You know more about you. I'll follow your lead.

Is something in your life not working like a relationship, your career, or a life goal - leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck? I specialize in helping people work through childhood trauma, along with current day issues - workplace stress, anxiety, infertility, divorce and grief. I tend to be an "in the trenches" therapist - highly empathic, listening and responding.

As an Asian-American gay man who grew up in the US South, I knew from a young age that I lived in a world that did not offer me freedom to author my narrative. Thus, I am passionate about building critical consciousness, self-awareness, and self-confidence to counteract oppression and live in the world with empowerment and authenticity. I am privileged and honored to use my experience to heal any client who has ever felt marginalized, outcasted, or misunderstood simply for "not fitting into boxes." If you are ready to live for yourself rather than for the limiting expectations of society, then I am looking forward to collaborating.
