The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - covid pandemic, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.
My ideal clients include those with depression and trauma backgrounds, substance abuse histories, spiritual concerns, and men's issues. I also work well with Asian-Americans and other racial minorities. I practice from a humanistic and liberation health perspective - I believe that individuals are full of potential but oppressive systems stunt this process.
Over 10 years ago I decided to leave the engineering field and dedicated my time to helping others. Since then I've worked at universities and public schools, inpatient and outpatient centers, employee assistance programs, crisis hotlines, and libraries ***Convenient off I-695/I-83 location.
