I am a first generation Asian-American and I have a very strong passion for helping others. I was born and raised in California. My parents are both immigrants, and came to the US, escaping a genocide in the late 70s. I have lived in different cities throughout the state of California. What prompted me to become a therapist was my own issues grappling with mental health - Anxiety, Depression, PTSD; living bi-culturally - trying to navigate traditional and cultural clashes, as well as growing up in a low socioeconomic area. Psychology saved my life. It plays a big part in who I am as a person and as a professional. I bring my life experience plus the knowledge, skills, and insight I've developed over the years into a space to co-create along with you, your experience, your knowledge, skills, and insight. I possess an innate desire to provide assistance, support, and guidance to others. I was exposed to adverse environments where it provided me the opportunity to gain experience working with youth, individuals, and families of all ages with diverse cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I have experience working with Trauma, Complex Trauma, Grief/Loss, Anxiety, Depression, and Substance Abuse. My background includes working with domestic violence, victims of homicide, victims of crime, borderline personality disorder, sexual assault, immigrants, first-generation, second-generation, substance use and co-occurring disorders. I have worked in community-based, outpatient, and residential/in-patient settings. I'd love to be a part of your journey in learning how to cultivate a healthy and balanced life. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know all the ways I can help foster your learning and growth.

Over the last 58 years of my life, I have gone from an athlete, a college graduate, a loyal friend, a surgical nurse, an executive healthcare administrator, to an alcoholic and addict with serious challenges. Since then, I've sought treatment, changed my life around, went back to school, became a substance abuse counselor - psychotherapist, a clinical supervisor, an interventionist, a business owner, and a husband. But, above all I am a recovering alcoholic and addict celebrating long term sobriety, and years of service work -- formal and informal. I'm a substance and process addiction counselor with vast and varied experience helping others to find recovery through a variety of treatment options, challenges, and past failures. I am a psychotherapist helping people with co-occurring disorders. I am an interventionist. It's my passion for and belief in the recovery process that led me to help individuals and families get treatment for their addictions and mental health disorders. When a person and/or family realizes they've had enough, then the recovery process can begin. For me, it's been a journey across the treatment landscape, which has changed for the better over the years. I sought education, certification, and clinical work in order to ensure that the breadth of my training would complement the depth of my experience. From working one-to-one with clients and their families, to leading group sessions in inpatient/residential and outpatient programs, to monitoring someone through detox, from helping those with eating disorders - gambling - sex addiction, dual diagnosis cases to self-harmers, I've had the privilege of being present for countless miracles as well as the lessons of tragic failure. I enter homes where families are in crisis from alcohol, drug, and/or process addiction. I lead them in a sometimes desperate effort to reclaim a struggling loved-one. They don't know me, but they need me. I want you to get to know me, I want to earn your trust, and I want to help you.
