Description
Multicultural, feminist, expat, bilingual, and lived many lives, is how I would describe myself. Before becoming a counselor, I have been an activist, a documentary filmmaker, and a person who worked sales and marketing in an international tech company. I have lived abroad, the east coast, mid-west, and west coast. I also know what it is like to be caught between two large cultures as an Asian-American male. Because of such, I have had to formulate an identity somewhere in the middle, not being one or the other, and as an expat abroad I have had to reconcile what it means to be a foreigner. I decided to pursue being a counselor because I want to help people who are lost or struggling on their journey as I once was. I work with Individuals, Couples, and Teens.
Individuals: For those who are having an existential crisis, identity crisis, or are looking for their voice/purpose, I know I can be a facilitator for your journey. For those who are new the area or country, I am here for you. And for those who are battling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, I am glad to be of service to you.
Couples: I believe that couples are an agreement between two consenting adults. Where issues within a couple lie are conditions that are unspoken, assumed, unknown, etc. This becomes even more complex when we factor in “should’s”, different roles of a person, family up bringing, children, time, history, and growth. As a couples counselor, I hope to help you uncover all these unspoken ideas within your partnership, and bring love and connection back to your relationship.
Teens: At the bare minimum, I hope to provide your teen a safe space to express themselves. When times are dark, sometimes a teen needs someone to talk to that is not their parents or peers but a mentor that may have gone through something similar. I hope to not only be that person but provide guidance on what motivates them and how to find purpose.
