Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Charles!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, worried, or currently having a difficult time with a transition period? I know how difficult making changes in your life can be. Asking for help and support is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength and commitment to improving your life.

My approach

I am here to provide you with unconditional support to process through your anxiety, depression, and other unresolved feelings at your own pace. My approach includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), culturally sensitive techniques, motivational interviewing, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), person-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, and a strength-based approach.

My focus

I work with individuals, including minors aged 13-17. My specialties include ADHD, adolescents/teens, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, career counseling, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, divorce, dual diagnosis, family conflict, job stress, men's issues, racial trauma, relationship issues, school issues, self-esteem, sleep or insomnia, stress, and trauma and PTSD.

My communication style

Sometimes we may need someone who is there for us and there are no problems in life that are too big or small. No matter what you're going through, it can be a chance to get to know yourself better, and learn what you want. I am here to listen and support you through this process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I hold a Master of Science degree and speak Chinese in addition to English. My journey to mental healthcare has been driven by a desire to help others navigate life's challenges and transitions.

My goals for you

If you feel like you need a change, now is the time. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights to improve your life, find greater self-understanding, and achieve the positive changes you seek.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings.
