I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over nearly two decades of practice, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. I'm particularly skilled at helping people rebuild self-esteem and learning to live from an inward locus of control by develop healthy coping strategies during times of significant change.
My approach is grounded in respect for each person's values and worldview. Whether you're seeking a therapist who shares your Christian faith, prefer a secular perspective, or hold conservative values, I'm committed to honoring what matters most to you. I believe therapy works best when there's alignment between your beliefs and the support you receive.
I work with clients across the lifespan and tailor my approach to meet you where you are. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and build toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I am a two time cancer survivor, lost my wife of 24 years ( from Japan) in 2019. Remarried (from Vietnam) in 2024.
True freedom is knowing who you are, where you are going, and having the power to make your own choices.
I'm honored you're considering therapy, and I'm here to support your journey, not as a job, but as a calling.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
