My Background and Approach

My goal is to empower you by creating a safe environment where you can explore the things that brought you to counseling and gain tools to tackle the obstacles to living your authentic life. Growing up as a queer, Asian, cis-gendered male in rural Eastern Oregon, I faced my share of adversity. I proudly stood my ground in a culture that urged conformity to faith-based standards, refusing to be labeled a "failure." These unique experiences fueled my journey to self-advocacy, enabling me to smash through barriers and support others in doing the same. My doors are wide open for anyone who has experienced oppression, prejudice, or distress in their life. LGBTQ+ individuals and those whom society has unfairly labeled as "different" will find an understanding ally in me.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a lifelong comic book enthusiast, I resonate deeply with the narratives of resilience and empowerment found within those vibrant pages. From Superman's iconic blue, red, and yellow hues to the fantastical worlds of Pokémon, I find inspiration and joy in the geeky corners of life. Music, especially Lady Gaga, infuses energy into my being, often coaxing me into goofy dances and sparking laughter wherever I go.
