Great to meet you!

My name is Julien, and I am passionate about helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem insecurities, and a history of trauma.

You might have been noticing that something hasn't been feeling right for you. You want more than just getting by, and to understand why you feel the way you do. Growing up as an Asian American often felt like I had to figure things out on my own and not ask for help. If you have felt similar, then reaching out for therapy might feel like going against everything you were raised to believe, and that's okay. Let me help carry some of that weight. You are not alone.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to create a nonjudgmental and safe space for you to process a wide range of thoughts and feelings. It is important for me to understand your unique story and how it relates to your current experiences. Together, we will explore new tools that can help you move forward. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and am certified in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you as we discuss your current challenges and hopes for therapy. You will have the opportunity to share what works and what does not. We will then explore new solutions and skills to help you move forward. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel understood. No emotion is "bad"; together, we will uncover whatever is coming up for you.
