I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 30 years of counseling experience with both college students and in community mental health. I have taught at the university level for more than 20 years. I was born and raised in southeast Asia, attended Asbury University for undergraduate studies and the University of Kentucky for my graduate degree. I am married with three adult children. Hiking, playing sports, reading, watching documentaries and spending time with family and friends are all activities I really enjoy.
I love the work of counseling. My approach is relational and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I enjoy collaborating deeply with people on their life journeys--finding healing, finding meaning, discovering pathways of growth into a hopeful future.
I work with several insurance companies, as listed below, and always recommend that you check with your insurance carrier about coverage, co-pays, deductibles, etc. for any questions you may have. I also take self-pay with rates listed in the section below.
If you are interested in becoming a client or have additional questions, please email me at the Contact link above, and tell me briefly whom you are seeking counseling for (e.g, yourself, you and your wife, etc), what issues you would like to address (e.g. anxiety, depression, addiction, etc) what insurance--if any--you're planning to use, and if you want to be seen in-person at my Marion-based practice, by TeleHealth (from anywhere in Indiana) or are open to both. Finally, if you can give me some sense of your availablity M-F (I do not work weekends) that would be helpful, too.
