At times, life is hard. The life we always envisioned is not matching up to our reality. Life has thrown us a curve ball and we don't know what to do. Sometimes, we wake up with feelings of sadness, fear or anger, which could stick with us throughout the day. These feelings can sometimes affect us from completing our everyday tasks or even our relationships with others. The things we are trying are not working. We want things to change; but don’t know how or where to start. Therapy might be that the place to begin.

Asking for help has to be one of the hardest things to do but taking that first step shows great strength and a desire to grow. I focus on creating a warm, welcoming environment for clients of all backgrounds to feel comfortable in the therapeutic environment. As a clinician, building trust and creating a sense of safety is my top priority.

The human experience is unique and complex, filled with varied paths, some difficult or profoundly challenging, some joyful and fulfilling and some just simply fall somewhere in between. In therapy I enjoy the privilege of walking some of these paths with my clients. Together, through a collaborative effort, my goal is to help clients become pioneers in their own lives, making and walking new paths that equip them with a new and purposeful understanding of their circumstances. I offer my clients space to talk about and explore the goals and outcomes they would like to develop to help them succeed and thrive in their environment.

When struggling with your mental health, you may feel stuck in a never ending cycle of self doubt and negativity. It has become more and more common in our post Covid world to feel just that. In fact, many of my clients have come to me in hopes of breaking that very cycle. Therapy can give you the power to start to break away from the constraints that our world and our minds can often put us in. Whether it be feeling anxious, worried, depressed, low self esteem, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, relationship troubles or the affects of past trauma, I am determined to help you feel freer and happier throughout our process of therapy together.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, alone, or in pain, I’m glad you’re here. Finding a therapist you think you’ll be comfortable sharing such intimate feelings with can be overwhelming, especially when anxiety and depression get in the way. As someone who has spent plenty of time on both sides of the therapeutic relationship, I assure you, you’re not alone. Your pain is real, and my time and attention are the least you deserve on this journey you’ve already begun.

In Matthew 19:26 Jesus spoke these words "..with God all things are possible". It does not matter how long you have been struggling in life or how obscure the future looks; what seems impossible with man is possible with God. As an Ordained Minister providing biblical counsel for over 10 years I recognize the need to bring inner healing to others. We are all divinely created by God with a unique, inborn temperament. As a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor my therapeutic approach integrates temperament therapy with sound biblical doctrine to bring harmony within the spirit, soul, and body. (I Thessalonians 5:23).

Hello! Thank you for your time and interest in my work! My name is Sam. I'm a first generation queer Asian American practicing as a licensed mental health counselor for 8 years. I could bore you with my educational and professional credentials, but I'd like to tell you more about me. Beyond the therapy room, I am someone who thinks deeply about my role in relationships and interpersonal dynamics. I'm also someone who dives into art projects and will likely have an unfinished project in a corner!
