Bio
Hello, I'm Brian, a dedicated associate therapist committed to helping with your emotional well-being and personal growth or supporting you with a specific issue. I have a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and my professional experience outside of therapy includes working in homeless services, community organizing, mental health research, and research related to stress and trauma linked to racism.
I collaborate with you to identify and navigate helpful and unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and narratives. Drawing from a diverse toolkit that includes person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches, I tailor our sessions into a purposeful and cooperative process. By focusing on your strengths, I aim to empower you with self-discovery, fresh perspectives, and the tools to navigate your life.
With a specialized background in working with Asian/Asian American and Pacific Islanders, as well as the LGBTQIA+ communities, I assisted individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal stressors.
I offer virtual appointments during week evenings, from 5 PM to 10 PM, for those who live in California. I look forward to guiding you on your journey.
