Welcome. I'm happy you are here.

Life can be a challenging experience which can be compounded by our unique identities and circumstances.  Through no fault of our own we can sometimes feel ill-equipped to handle the challenges that life brings us.  Some of us have adapted by becoming perfectionists and having a harsh inner critic or by becoming more withdrawn and feeling lost and confused..  As a man of color and a son of immigrants. I can relate to these experiences, and feel that I can offer an alternative perspective to provide a greater sense of freedom.

As a result of my personal and professional experiences, I tend to work well with:

• clients who are wanting to find their “voice” in life and in relationship
• clients going through life transitions such as the “mid-life crisis”
• clients who need to process traumatic experiences
• Intercultural/interracial couples who are experiencing communication issues 
• BIPOC individuals who are exploring ethnic identity and are struggling in professional environments. 

I have an awareness of my social identities and am open to working with all ethnicities, gender identities, and sexual orientations with curiosity and humility. 

I practiice through the auspices of Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center, a nonprofit organization providing affordable psychotherapy to children, teens, adults, couples, families and groups throughout San Francisco, the East Bay and Contra Costa County.
