Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Austin, TX

About My Clients

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — in your relationship, career, or personal life — you're not alone. I work with men, couples, and young professionals who carry heavy expectations and want clarity, emotional balance, and stronger relationships. Whether you're navigating stress, communication struggles, or life transitions, I offer a supportive space to explore what's beneath the surface and build resilience. You don’t have to do it alone — reaching out can be the first step

My Background and Approach

I tailor therapy to you by integrating psychodynamic theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), creating a thoughtful and effective approach to your care. Psychodynamic therapy helps us explore how past experiences, especially from childhood, shape your current emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns. It brings awareness to deeper, often unconscious influences. EFT focuses on emotional connection—helping individuals and couples build more secure, responsive relationships. Together, this approach allows you to understand the roots of your struggles while actively creating new patterns. Whether you’re facing recurring relationship challenges or feeling stuck, therapy can help you move forward with clarity and intention. Seeking support is a sign of strength. I’m here to help you navigate that process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should be a space where people feel understood, respected, and able to show up as their full selves. My work is grounded in authenticity, cultural awareness, and the belief that meaningful change happens through connection. As an Asian American therapist, I value the importance of culture, identity, and the impact of family and societal expectations on mental health. I am passionate about supporting individuals—especially men and high-functioning professionals—who may not always feel comfortable seeking help. I strive to create a space that is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and growth-oriented, where clients can better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and move toward the life they want.
