ATTENTION ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS: Do you feel like you are never good enough and that nothing will get better?

Hello and welcome! I'm a licensed mental health counselor and registered nurse with over 17 years of experience helping people and couples (ages 18-103) navigate the complexities of their lives. I have advanced training in multiple and diverse relationship trauma treatment modalities, including somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, family systems, CPT, parts and shadow work, and EMDR.

Everyone's journey is unique and quite personal. I strive to honor your journey and the path that you are on. I am merely a guide helping you along the way. I seek to develop a trusting, authentic relationship in which you can explore, grow, improve relationships and make desired life changes. Clients often come into my office feeling overwhelmed and not sure exactly where to start. I take a holistic approach in helping you navigate life through optimal emotional health and wellness. This means that I often use a blend of therapy modalities to meet your needs.

As a compassionate mental health therapist specializing in somatic and attachment-focused therapies, as well as hypnosis, I'm dedicated to facilitating life-transforming experiences for individuals who have faced trauma, struggle with anxiety or have ADHD. My approach emphasizes understanding the mind's workings and equipping clients with effective stress management techniques for the future. For couples seeking deeper connection, both emotionally and sexually, I offer specialized counseling sessions. Together, we delve into the roots of conflicts, fostering mutual understanding and stronger bonds.

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.

Welcome. I am glad you are here. As a person who was raised by POW survivors and refugees, I know intimately how trauma can be woven into the fabric of one’s history. I know first hand the hardship of coming face to face with the questions of “how do we live on in the wake of loss and/or betrayal?” and more importantly, “how can we begin to laugh again?”. The fact that you have found yourself here on this page tells me that you have already taken that first step beyond survival and towards deeper living.

Gentlemen, it’s a recognized human tendency to get “stuck” in our lives. Here’s the truth; you are never “stuck” with your present circumstances.

The work of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to help men break out from being “stuck” in life, resigned to producing results that are disappointing to them and others. The goal of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to see transformative progress in men’s confidence, clarity, and full self-expression.

I'm a therapist with a focus on helping people find relief from anxiety, stress, PTSD, and trauma. I use a unique method called Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) to achieve this. NET helps address underlying anxieties and traumas held within your mind and body, and it often provides lasting relief in as few as one session. This is a stark contrast to traditional talk therapy, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and slow-moving. As a licensed acupuncturist and the leading NET provider in the area, I'm committed to helping you find resolution quickly. My goal is to completely address your concerns in 5 sessions or less.

Sometimes it might feel like finding peace, contentment, and a sense of being "okay" is out of reach. The weight of traumas, heartaches, anxieties, and other painful emotions can linger, clouding our thoughts and leaving us feeling stuck. But here's what's important: they contain the key to your own healing.

Are you spinning your wheels? Have you tried, again and again, to just get this thing called life to work for you, but nothing seems to stick? I've been there, and I get it. Our lives are the stories of our being in the world, and I work with individuals, couples, and families to look at the big picture of the story of YOUR life. We will explore not only the “how” of your life and the challenges that it brings, but also the “why” of these same issues, so that you can finally make some progress and begin to live with greater fulfillment and ease of being in the world.

I love to work with children, families, and teachers, including Expat families and Third Culture Kids (TCK). My passion is connecting parents, teacher and students, so that all feel heard, supported and students begin to thrive. Many of my clients are overwhelmed by life and they don't know why or what to do about it. Parents and teachers both experience burnout. Getting stuck in the middle of chaos, makes it hard to find the next move. It is not possible to solve a problem without rising above it. My role is to bring you up out of the woods and help you find more effective solutions, ultimately bringing peace of mind.

Life transitions can feel like walking a tightrope between the past and the future. At Epistamai Counseling, we specialize in guiding individuals and couples through these pivotal moments with grace.

I know personally how hard it can be to experience sexual/physical/emotional trauma/addiction/depression/grief/financial/relational ruin/overwhelming anxiety. Hoping to get through a day with the jaw clenching/palm sweating/handshakes/thoughts racing/heart pounding/doubting every idea/thought/emotion, asking will this be forever? Sometimes, you experience paralyzing nightmares or dreams that you are moving in slow motion and feel so alone and isolated when in a crowded room. Moreover, the constant dread (or the invisible weighted depression blanket). I get it; I've lived it and worked with many others who have.
