Hello! My name is Daniel. I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of mental health experience working with people across all stages of life from underserved communities including LGBTQ+, Deaf/Hard of Hearing, and BIPOC. I offer virtual therapy to individuals and couples located in California and I’m currently accepting new clients.

I am a Registered Marriage and Family Associate Therapist (136003) supervised by Matthew J. Rohr, M.S., LMFT51186 based in Pasadena, California. Prior to joining Matt Rohr & Associates, I was at U.S. Vets: "Outside the Wire" where I worked with various veterans and veteran students struggling with severe mental illnesses including Bipolar, Borderline Personality, Major Depressive, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques such as Gestalt, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.

You crush it at work! But you feel like a total failure in your relationships. Exhaustion and hopelessness permeate your existence like a dark fog. Caffeine and self-propulsion have become your two best friends. Relationships should be fulfilling, right? Then why do you feel so numb, disengaged, and often embarrassed by your reactions to others? Sure, you hit your numbers at work. But your reward is dragging yourself home to a lonely, sexless marriage. Another conflict ensues. Great. Your wife’s judgmental stare leaves you feeling ashamed and like you’re 5 years old again. Let’s face it – you haven’t felt loved in years.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been in practice for over 20 years. The foundation of my work is the firm belief that we are wired to connect with others. When we fail to do so in some aspects of our lives, we become depressed and anxious and feel alone. My goal is to help you have healthy connections with others. People who have found my work helpful include couples dealing with relational issues, cross-cultural relationships, childhood trauma, anxiety, cultural and race issues.

My passion is conducting therapy with Asians, both immigrants and Asian-Americans. As a Taiwanese-American therapist, I am well-versed in the family dynamics of Asian culture. I am also experienced in dealing with parent-child conflicts between first-generation Chinese parents and their westernized second-generation teenagers and adult children. My work centers on helping parents and children recognize their cultural differences in order to better understand one another and maintain healthy relationships. Sessions may be in either Mandarin and English.

Intimate relationships could be difficult to maintain and understand. Sometimes we are left confused and hurt by the behaviors and words of others. Our responses to these unfortunate behaviors might create a negative reaction which could worsen the feelings of despair. Having a personal psychotherapist with whom to explore some of these problems could be very rewarding and healing. Finding assertive ways to express our emotions using a win/win approach might assist in the healing of those injuries. Anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict could be minimized or eliminated with the appropriate interventions.

Hello, Welcome to Marriage Counseling for Asian American individuals and Cross-Cultural Couples! My focus is helping people develop deeper emotional bonding with their loved ones and build secure relationships. When we feel accepted, supported, loved, and understood by our partners and families, we can go out to the world and explore its possibilities. We cope better with life stresses, difficult life transitions, and simple daily challenges in safe, satisfying, and happy relationships.

Professionals, leaders, high-achieving individuals: You project a persona of “being on top of it, having it all.” You have managed to harness the power of your high intelligence, potential, intensity, and drive. But secretly, the pressure, pace and responsibilities are taking a toll on you. You may also be struggling with loneliness, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or feel that you are “too much." If you relate to this, I welcome your call. I offer a safe, professional working relationship for you to sort through it all.

Are you tired of being unable to do the things you want to do, but repeatedly do the things you do not want to do? Are your best intentions producing the kind of relational fruit you desire in your relationships? The invisible pain from the emotional, relational, and spiritual realm activates the same region of your brain that is under physical pain. The need for proper attention and treatment for this invisible pain is as urgent and necessary as physical pain. Your pain will be properly metabolized through validation and comfort and ready to be resurrected as wisdom, strength, and compassion

As a Black Man who is Queer, I became a therapist because I understand that all behavior serves a purpose– conscious & unconscious. I aspire to help folx understand their behavior and establish coping skills needed to live the lives they've always wanted. I believe that mental/emotional suffering is unnecessary and, when possible, should be avoided using healthy coping skills. I typically work with individuals and couples who span ethnic and cultural backgrounds, are new to therapy, have encountered past turbulent therapy experiences, and whose intersections of identities are not often represented in therapeutic settings.

It’s natural to feel lost sometimes. When you are overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, or disconnected, having a space to express yourself genuinely with a witness is medicinal. Reaching out for help can be hard and I appreciate everything it has taken for you to get here. Finding a trusted ally is an important step in receiving the help that you need to live as you truly are, wholeheartedly. I believe in the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship and it is my honor to be a companion along my clients’ journeys.

If you find yourself repeating patterns that you just can't seem to break, feel stuck, or unable to find meaning in your life, I'd like to help. The therapeutic relationship can be a powerful source of healing, change and liberation in your life. I offer compassion and authenticity and believe that healing, and change are possible for all people. I am committed to discovering what is best for you and offer guidance through the darkest moments. Together we can unravel what keeps you in grief, depression, fear or anxiety.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.
