First, I strive to create a safe environment where the client feels heard, understood and supported. The compasionate use of 'unconditional positive regard' guides my work. This is a well proven healing factor in the therapeutic relationship. I believe my clients grow strongest by finding their own path through their unique inner landscape.

I believe a central component of the therapeutic process is the relationship that's established between the therapist and the client. A safe and trusting relationship provides an environment in which you are able to explore those unresolved issues and old patterns that are not letting you have the quality of life you would like to have. Therapy is an opportunity to identify what's not working for you, view it from different angles, and learn strategies that will result in alternate ways of relating to yourself and to others that may be more conducive to becoming the person you want to be.

I believe most of us find ourselves overwhelmed or struggling at some time in our lives. During those times it can be helpful to talk to someone who is encouraging, accepting and understanding of life's challenges. Therapy provides a private, safe, collaborative and warm environment to better understand and navigate difficult transitions or relationships. This journey becomes individualized based on personal goals, values and needs. I am committed to assisting clients develop adaptive coping skills, building on their own inner resources and strengths to live life to their greatest potential where healing, balance, and fulfillment are once again possible.

In my practice I focus on treating trauma with EMDR informed by Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). Many mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addictions, and disordered eating can be connected to past traumas and conflicts between inner parts of ourselves. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal from these traumas, resolve inner conflicts, and to experience a more fulfilling life.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Hi, it's Joseph. Let’s talk! We’ll work together until that unsolvable problem is history, until that overwhelming pain is bearable, until the impossible future is simply your future. You’ve always been strong, resourceful, and intuitive. I’m just going to help clear away the junk you’re trapped beneath so you can actually feel that way: false beliefs that make life seem harder than it really is; old stories about yourself that have nothing to do with who you are now; distractions that keep you from deciding what is most meaningful to you; power imbalances that take away good things that are rightfully yours. This stuff has to go.

Being human comes with gifts. And challenges. Perhaps your feeling stressed out or sad. Maybe you have experienced significant life stressors, need support with solving specific problems or have relationships concerns. Or maybe your looking for a judgment free zone, a structured place to process life and increase self-esteem.

As a second-gen Chinese American psychotherapist, my work is deeply shaped by my parents' immigrant journeys—my father’s escape from Vietnam and time in a refugee camp, as well as my mother’s migration from China. Their resilience, along with the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, informs my understanding of the often invisible challenges within immigrant families.
