I have experience with: anxiety, feeling stuck, trauma, breakups, depression, relationship conflict, and stress.
Anxiety doesn’t have to be permanent problem, even if you’ve always thought of yourself as an “anxious person.” Anxiety is learned and it can be un-learned. I’d like to help you retrain your brain to be a source of comfort and positivity. With less anxiety, you can direct your energy towards things you really value instead of worrying all the time. There is no more valuable project than your well-being, and it’s well worth the effort. I use research-backed therapy and provide my clients with actionable tools, techniques, and skills to help them make progress.

Clients I work with may also be grappling with perfectionism, indecision or overthinking, anger, irritability, or "men's issues" and are looking for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from a seasoned professional. Treatment goals are often to improve quality of life, achieve personal/professional growth, live a more fulfilling human experience, get unstuck, and strengthen their skills to enhance personal growth.

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.

I am specialized in treating individual adults, couples, and kids facing a wide variety of problems including depression and anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship problems, workplace and school related stress, low self-esteem, difficulty grieving a death or lost relationship, and feelings of meaninglessness or emptiness.
I see people as having rich, complex human emotions that are not well described with overly simple and often stigmatizing diagnostic labels like depression or generalized anxiety. Each person is entirely unique, with their own history, strengths, and challenges. In therapy, I will work with you to better understand yourself. When we can understand why you might be feeling or thinking or acting in a way that is not best for you, we can work together to change it in a way that is tailored to your needs and your circumstances.
