I help clients dealing with childhood trauma, stress, anxiety, fatigue, or low self-worth get out of that survival mode and get back to being present and engaged in their lives. I also specialize in working with first responders and spouses. Dealing with stressors and difficult experiences is an inevitable part of life, but the way that it impacts us doesn't have to be. I use an integrative and nervous system-informed approach to help you move forward and feel more connected and regulated. We work together to find the source of your struggles for deeper change.

Do you wake up feeling crazy amounts of stress and this nagging thought that no matter what you do, you will never be good enough? As humans we carry stress, pain, trauma, memories and patterns from our family, or jobs, our personal relationships and more in the cells of our bodies. This directly impacts how we feel about ourselves and show up in life. I imagine that what you really want (even more than achieving that milestone or having that next best thing) is to feel safety within yourself...to believe with your whole heart that you are worthy and enough.

I am a second-generation Vietnamese/Chinese Asian-American male, who understands what it is like to navigate cultural differences and the stress that comes with it.
Therapy for AAPI folks can and should look different. It should reflect the nuanced experiences of growing up in a Western society, and highlight the unique hardships and experiences that we come across. Through your lens, you experience stress, depression, relationships, and life transitions in a way that is interconnected with your community. For some, this might be your first time getting to know yourself, and for others this will be another stop on your journey with mental health. The courage and self-compassion it takes to begin therapy is magnificent, and I am honored to be a part of your adventure.
