Do you struggle with anxiety, phobias, or obsessive thoughts that make you spiral or have panic attacks? Does past trauma, abuse, or neglect affect your relationships, your work, or your ability to function or move forward? Are you a first responder or veteran living with trauma or distressing events? Do you need to to create boundaries for people in your life? Knowing that our life experiences and the circumstances in which we grew up in or work in can manifest into negative beliefs that lead to anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and more is the first step in healing.

Quoting David Mathis, "Poor listening diminishes another person, while good listening invites them to exist and matter. Positively, then, good listening requires concentration and means we're in with both ears, and that we hear the other person out till they're done speaking. Rarely will the speaker begin with what's most important, and deepest. We need to hear the whole train of thought, all the way to the caboose, before starting across the tracks." Who then should set up an appointment? Ideal clients are males, couples or families seeking life transformation, relationship growth or reconciliation or spiritual formation for life's journey.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bi-polar disorder, grief or any other issue, there is hope.

If you are looking for a holistic, integrative, and personal approach to your mental health and well-being, then you have found your place.

We strive to help you find your own place of healing by acknowledging, embracing, and allowing you to come to understand yourself as a unique and wonderfully made spiritual being. There is not a "one size fits all' answer or fix for the issues you may be experiencing, so we creatively integrate different modalities as needed.

As a practicing psychologist my role is to use my training and experience to assist the client with making changes that will improve their personal satisfaction with everyday life. I work in a collaborative manner to help individuals clarify their difficulties and set reasonable goals to achieve problem resolution. Each client brings their own unique circumstances to the counseling session. Relationships, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, communication, family conflict, and addictive behaviors are some of the common themes that are addressed in counseling.

If your life is fully functional, you don't have to struggle to understand why things are the way they are. It is when we hit a wall in our relationships, career or health that we get pushed out of our comfort zone and start looking for answers. People often think that they can deal with all these on their own. However, emotional wellbeing is essentially a two person process as we can only find ourselves in the eye of another. The therapist's questions might bring out the answers in you that will support you in developing a much needed fresh perspective in life.

Whether your present life feels unmanageable, or past hurtful experiences are still causing you pain, there is hope. Reaching out for help is the first step to making positive changes in your life. As a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space in which you can share, explore, and achieve greater self-awareness. Together, we will build on the strengths you already possess to help you grow and find balance. My style of therapy is a conversational, collaborative approach aimed at helping people understand themselves better.

My role as a counselor is to provide an environment for growth and exploration of ones emotions and experiences; To help guide individuals and couples through difficult situations using unconditional empathy.

Have you had transitions in your life lately that it just feels overwhelming? Are you unsure what to do anymore as life is getting harder and harder? Are you tired of feeling like this and are ready to not just exist, but thrive? I congratulate you on taking this step, because I know there can be many hurdles to receiving therapy and finding the right therapist. As you are considering the right fit, I’ll tell you a little about myself and my approach to therapy. I love helping others with life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma to get to a more promising place holistically (not just mentally).

My focus in therapy is to help individuals and couples increase their level of self-acceptance and their ability to engage and connect in love, sex, and intimacy. I believe that life is messy and that everyone's situation is a product of their environment, experiences, knowledge, and previous decisions. I gravitate to Solution Focused based therapy with a touch of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques.

My hope is to offer a space for people to experience life changing therapy where mind, body, and soul meet. A safe, comfortable space that fosters an atmosphere free of judgment and shame, where growth and transformation can happen. In an ever changing, uncertain world, there is comfort in having a sure place, and an objective voice. I wish to work with you to find the greatest version of you.

Are you stressed out, depressed, confused, or in transition? Are you new to the university or the U.S.? Do you feel different from others?

I pay close attention to social and cultural factors. I am pragmatic in my approach to help my clients reach their goals. I provide counseling in Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese.

As the parent of a struggling teen, you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. You feel like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to be working--at least not for long. No matter what you do, you just can't seem to reach them. Their personality has changed, and sometimes you worry that things could get worse. You know they have so much potential, but where did it go? Reaching out to a therapist can be scary because you want someone who can truly connect with your teen, and you want someone who will keep you informed on their progress.
