Biography

• As an Asian man, I value the healing power of safe communal spaces. I am committed to fostering and maintaining connections through collaboration and supporting underserved communities on campus.
• My belief in change could only occur when individuals come to understand the nature of their lifestyle, and this understanding or insight could not be forced. One must be brought into such a state of feeling that the therapist likes to listen and cares to understand (A. W. Adler).
