I understand the complexities of things like balancing a family, kids, owning/running a business, managing employees all while trying to create a life that brings you happiness and fulfillment.
Are you looking for a Certified Sex Therapist? Someone to truly understands what you are going through? I can help! Finding the right fit for a therapist is so important. You want someone you can trust, open up to about things you would never tell family or friends, and someone who can offer you some useful strategies and feedback. I am an interactive therapist. This means, I will not just sit there and have you talk for 50 minutes without any interactive feedback. Being an interactive therapist, we are having a conversation so there is give and take. We will work together to find strategies and solutions that are practical.

Do you feel burdened or like you are not able to live life with freedom, joy and peace? Whether we have hurts from the past or anxiety and depression that seem overwhelming; it can be helpful to have someone there who understands and provides non-judgmental, supportive feedback. When we experience challenges, crisis and difficult circumstances; important goals in therapy are learning to identify how our thoughts trigger our emotions and developing coping skills to process them.

I have close to twenty years of experience working with people who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, and challenges adjusting to changes in life circumstances.
We all reach the limits of our own ability to cope, our own supports, and our own usual ways of thinking and responding. When this happens it’s not uncommon to fall into behavioral patterns and symptoms - depression, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. We forget our own strengths and don’t realize our own capacity to heal. Things just seem impossible. Our thoughts race and we can’t sleep.

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.

Many of my clients are children who struggle with:* Attention and Learning Issues *Anxiety, Sadness or Mood Swings * A hyper sensitivity to people and the environment. Traditional therapies include medication or "cognitive" approaches. But these approaches do not directly address the fact that often the brain is stuck in an unsuccessful pattern that the conscious mind may not be able to change. My program integrates psychotherapy and coaching with Brain Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) to change these brain patterns and increase calmness, balance, and self regulation.

Each of us experience stress, anxiety, depression, and grief throughout life, and the need for love, safety, respect, and nurturing. The question isn't whether you can eliminate these feelings and needs; rather the question to ask is; "How do I take responsibility for fully understanding myself?" I declare that everyone is being called to discover themselves in the deepest sense. "What is your spirit communicating to you?" "What do you need to live a healthy life?" As you ponder these questions, I believe that your pain is what pushes you and your vision is what pulls you through life.
