Buddhist Therapists in Nashville, NC

My therapeutic approach encourages personal growth and provides opportunities for clients to learn information and skills to help them find a more balanced, meaningful life. I believe that the clients are the true experts in their lives, so I work with my client to establish a treatment plan that is specific to their identified needs and goals. I believe there is no “one size fits all” form of therapy. I pull from a variety of modalities so that I can tailor treatment to your specific needs. As a first-generation Asian American, I understand and have experienced mental health stigma.

Jason is passionate about helping people deal with issues of anxiety, depression, addiction, shame, habit change, self-compassion, and finding purpose. His experience lends itself to working with people in all stages of life, but he has additional experience working with young adults/couples and athletes. He offers a non-judgmental, collaborative exploration where clients can tap into their own capacity to heal, accept, and love themselves and others. With that, he offers practical steps and tools to work on for each client depending on their individual needs.

Feeling lost in the sea of therapists online? You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no nonsense approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. Whether we meet in my office, go for a walk outdoors, or have a virtual session, my aim is to provide a safe and supportive space where meaningful change and healing can happen.

You work hard to do the right thing, put in extra hours to meet deadlines at work, and show up for other people. But showing up for yourself is harder. Some of the people who look up to you probably think your life is easy: "You make it seem effortless." But they don't see how much work goes into holding it all together. You take pride in how well you tolerate stress, and caring for others can certainly be a wonderful thing. But everyone deserves support, including you.

My love is helping people learn to navigate the terrain of the body and to find the wisdom and freedom of feeling and ‘sensing’ as ways of knowing and healing. This domain is difficult to navigate alone - We live in a time when our nervous systems are deeply taxed and carry significant trauma, and in which the cultural resources for healing have been repressed or lost under the weight of systems of oppression. I want to help you find your way back to a sense of wholeness by listening to your innate wisdom. Please note- I only accept clients who have some form of contemplative practice because it creates a foundation for our work!

Life is full of challenges that generate varied degrees of stress, anxiety and depression, even substance abuse. Challenges may include: Personal and family relationships, finances, career, illness and loss of creative engagement with your self and the world. Psychotherapy can offer time and a special place for self discovery, reflection, revitalization, resilience, insight, empowerment and access to your creativity; creative expression and creative living. Our lives can be what we imagine and want them to be. We can develop our active imagination to envision a life of purpose, meaning and the joy we are meant to have.

As a psychotherapist I specialize in helping individuals who are interested in learning and growing in self-awareness and confidence. I work well with people who are exploring patterns of substance use, intimate relationships, performance anxieties, lack of confidence/satisfaction, major life transitions (job/school changes/relational/grief). I am a relationally and present moment-based therapist. This means we will work from a framework that everything (past/present/future) can be addressed by exploring the relationship you have with it in "right now". My role is to help guide you on your path of wellness.

Accepting New Clients - Together we will discover the blockages and limitations that are holding you back from living your best life.

My role is to facilitate your path as you find your way back home to yourself.

Sometimes we feel alone, even in a crowd or with significant others. Pain, trauma, feeling different/misunderstood/unknown or even how we see ourselves can drive a wedge between us and the people and life experiences that matter most to us. If you are looking for someone who will join with you as you find your way through to a more meaningful way of living and toward more fulfilling relationships, then I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.

Whatever brought you to consider therapy, know that you are not alone. Many of us struggle to manage intense emotions, connect deeply with others, meet our goals, live up to our expectations, accept ourselves, or find meaning in life. In a safe and supportive space you are free to express yourself openly, honestly, and authentically, and together we can work to discover the ways you would like your life to be different. The approach we take to implement those changes will be guided by your personality, culture, and needs.

I help clients identify a source of wisdom and wellness within themselves. I share warmth, honest human connection, and my own experiential understanding of the mind from two decades of meditation practice. Anyone who is looking for a path out of suffering is welcome.

I combine my training in behavior change science and my experience working in health and wellness to help women succeed. You don’t have to stay stuck, sad or angry. Reach out today.
