Counseling for Asian Americans in Oregon and California
Heal the wounds from the past to live fully in the present
Welcome, my name is Jeff.
While growing up in an immigrant home you may have felt the need to keep your feelings to yourself. When you had worries and doubts or times where you felt extremely down, you believed that you could not share about it with your loved ones because you are either used to being dismissed or you believed that you were burdening family with your problems. Over time, this has left you feeling extremely resentful, alone, pissed off, or like you have to pretend everything is “fine” even when it’s really not.
Even though you feel this anger towards your parents, you still have this desire and hope that your family would know you on a deeper level. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to sort through it by yourself.
What I can Help With
Providing secure, professional, and HIPAA compliant counseling services in Oregon and California for Asian American teens and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, identity, and relational challenges.

Depression can feel crippling and it lurks beneath the surface so that nobody else can see what’s going on. It feels lonely under those grey clouds. I’m here to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and find new meaning.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a behind-the-scenes pain causing you to second guess yourself and always worry about worst case scenarios. I’m here to support you as you learn to find strength and resilience.
Men’s Health
