Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 8 years. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating the challenges of anxiety and depression. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I help individuals gain insight, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience. My practice also focuses on addressing male-specific issues, providing a safe space for men to explore and work through concerns related to identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to achieve their personal and mental health goals, fostering growth and lasting change.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, you can expect a focus on building rapport and establishing a foundation of trust. My goal is to create an open and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, discussing your concerns, and setting the stage for a collaborative therapeutic journey. This initial session is all about ensuring that you feel heard, respected, and ready to embark on a path toward healing and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My ability to connect with clients is at the heart of my practice. I pride myself on being open-minded and creating a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels safe and free from judgment. I understand the importance of cultural awareness in therapy and strive to incorporate this knowledge into my work, ensuring that each client's unique background and experiences are respected and valued. My commitment to these principles helps me build strong therapeutic relationships that foster trust, growth, and healing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to embark on a journey of self-exploration and is committed to discovering their authentic self. They are prepared to unpack their issues, confront challenges, and embrace the process of personal growth. With a willingness to make positive changes in their life, they seek to transform their mindset, behaviors, and relationships. Together, we can work toward achieving a deeper understanding of themselves and creating lasting, meaningful change. As an Asian American male therapist, I understand the unique challenges that cultural expectations, societal pressures, and personal ambiguity can present. It's important to me to create a space where other men can openly discuss these topics, explore their identities, and address any challenges that might be holding them back from being their best selves. Whether it's navigating the pressures of success or dealing with the complexities of cultural identity, I am here to support and guide you on your journey toward self-improvement and fulfillment. As a couple's therapist, I am committed to helping couples learn how to effectively communicate and navigate the relational challenges that may negatively impact their relationship. I focus on fostering healthy dialogue, understanding each partner's perspective, and working together to overcome obstacles. My goal is to empower couples to strengthen their connection, resolve conflicts, and build a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.
