Hi! I am a trauma-focused, EMDR-trained licensed professional clinical counselor with lived experiences
as a Vietnamese American, Marine Corps veteran, and gay/queer man. I have a Masters in Multicultural
Community Counseling from SDSU, a Bachelors in Psychology, and served 8 years honorably in the Marine Corps.
I focus on helping people heal from their traumatic experiences using EMDR, Behavioral Activation, Gestalt and Person-Centered Therapy, and have worked with military veterans, people-of-color, and LGBTQIIA+ people.
My philosophy is treating the whole person and consider everything you bring into a counseling session: your history, your beliefs, your cultures, your identities, etc. I utilize trauma-focused and culture- informed modalities to help you achieve growth and change.
I believe you are capable of positive growth and change! You don’t have to be blocked by wounds of the past.
Together, we can help you realize a more realized, fuller self!
