In my practice, I believe therapy can be a fun and engaging process to adjust unhealthy beliefs and habits, instead of a miserable and unending chore. My unique style of therapy blends together neuroscience, heart and humor to help clients understand themselves. Ultimately, my job is to make myself obsolete by trying to teach my clients how to become their own therapist.
My Unique Approach

I'm not your average counselor—I do things differently! As someone that loves games, I have always loved and what they teach us about cooperation, persistence, and learning from our mistakes. As someone that loves stories, I see the power in the tales we tell and the messages they inspire. Let's find a way to start your quest, enjoy the journey, and help you take back your story.
Just Be You!

Just Be You!
Life is hard enough, and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're dealing with stress from politics, or climate change angst, I'm here to offer emotional support, guidance and, maybe an egg during these troubling times. I've learned that it's easier to face fears when we face them together. Together, I believe we can learn to laugh at the things that once frightened us.
My Philosophy
At Underdog Counseling, I believe that everyone, including Asian American individuals and members of the LGBTQ+ community from all communities, have the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being is essential to our physical health. I try to use every tool available as a engaged male therapist to help clients find acceptance, balance, and stability.
Transform Your Life with Underdog Counseling
Inclusive Counseling for Everybody
I am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. I offer individual counseling services tailored to your specific needs. Whether it's concerns around sexuality, gender identity, or transgender support, I believe everyone should be free to accept and love themselves for who they are. Additionally, I provide LGBTQ+ counseling and teletherapy options to ensure that everyone feels supported and understood.
Therapy for Men, By Men
As a man, I understand there is a spreading epidemic of loneliness that needs to be addressed. As an immigrant, I know the struggle to belong in a different culture. In a time of isolation and loneliness, it is more important than ever to discuss our feelings, as real strength comes from being vulnerable. I strive to educate and guide each client on the causes and treatments for our stressors and behaviors.
Teletherapy Service
I understand that life can be busy, and it's not always easy to make it to in-person therapy sessions. That's why I provide only teletherapy services, which allow you to connect with me from the comfort of your own home. Whether by phone call or video sessions, our teletherapy sessions are secure, private, and convenient.
