“Simon’s very empathic and intuitive. I felt comfortable the minute I met him because he showed a great deal of curiosity in getting to know me. Moreover, he worked hard and thought outside of the box to guide me and provided me with solutions in navigating my difficult relationships.”

“I think he’s a great psychotherapist. Specializes in porn addiction and sex addiction which I don’t suffer from but I know that if you have these issues, he’s willing to listen and he is very patient. ?”

I've wanted to be a therapist since I was 18 because I've always been very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful. My combat experience as an army medic in Iraq confirmed my purpose, inspiring me to serve others in a meaningful way.
I work with adults from diverse walks of life and am particularly interested in supporting Porn and Sex Addicts, Asian Americans, Christians, and Veterans. My focus is to help you examine, grasp, and manage your difficulties to nurture your well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Dealing with life’s challenges sometimes feels like being trapped in quicksand—the harder you fight to get out of it, the deeper you sink. Exhausting, right? When stress, hopelessness, painful incidents, or risky habits prevail, enjoying the present becomes quite difficult. Your past wounds and current hardship may take over, clouding the road to your future. You crave clarity, meaning, and validation. You want to get out of this rut to find fulfillment and happiness but are unsure how. The good news is: you can figure it out, understand yourself better, and reach your dream goals— and I’m here to guide you on that path.
Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, traumatic brain injury, or porn and sex addiction, I’m honored to support you. I specialize in helping adults get to know themselves and feel empowered to advocate for their well-being. As we work together, you will reflect, expand your awareness, and gain tools to manage adversity and grow.
I was born in Hong Kong and served in the US Army, which motivated me to assist Veterans and diverse cultures. My style is casual and caring, focused on addressing your unique needs. I use cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy, among other methods, such as Dr. Patrick Carnes's tasks 1-19 to help clients with porn and sex addiction.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During the intake, I discuss the legal and ethical obligations I have as a therapist. Then, I ask the client about the reason they came to therapy and if they have received therapy before. I talk in an informal manner to make clients feel comfortable. Lastly, I tell the clients to let me know if something works for them or if something doesn't work. If homework is appropriate for the client, then I will assign it. I can tell the client is progressing by observing their body language and the content of our conversation. When I see the client putting in work, engaged, and self-reporting that they are doing better, then I know they have made improvements. I'm a certified sex addiction therapist. I'm working with clients, mostly men with porn addiction.

Simon has been a fantastic therapist for now close to a year. Over the course of our sessions, I’ve seen a profound improvement in my ability to manage my emotions and respond to challenges with more clarity and balance. One of the most impactful aspects of our work together has been uncovering and working through long-held limiting beliefs that I didn’t even realize were shaping so much of my life.

Simon has been excellent. He has shown characteristics of an experienced mental health professional through his attentiveness, encouragement of deeper thought and consideration of my affairs, his peronability and relatablitlity which gives me the comfort that my words are being considered and listened to, and most of all, his compassion and empathy that he consistently assures me of and shows through his transparent communication. I would highly encourage anyone in need of a mental health and wellness professional to consider Simon as their primary consideration.

I have seen Simon weekly for the last year, and he has helped me with overcoming addictions, dealing with anxiety, learning to recognize and process emotions, and communication skills. He holds me accountable, while also being compassionate and making me comfortable being my authentic self. He has helped me learn to understand and love myself. His knowledge and perspective has taught me to have more empathy and better relationships with the people in my life. I am so grateful for having him as my therapist.

I've been working with Simon for about a year. It has helped tremendously and I can tell that I've grown so much since moving to him from another therapist. He's so professional and a great listener. He has tailored our sessions to fit me while also continuing to challenge me in ways that I need.

My husband and I have worked with Simon for two years now and are very grateful for the wisdom he brings in to our sessions. He is an attentive and patient listener, giving us the necessary tools in and out of session to improve our communication skills. He is also incredibly caring and compassionate when mediating sensitive conversations. He allows us to move through difficult topics at our own pace, helping us both feel acknowledged. I am also personally impressed (and happy) that he pursues further education in his specialties to deepen his understanding in his areas of expertise. He clearly has been given a gift in this field, and is a blessing!

My time with Simon has been very helpful. He most importantly offers a very judgement free zone. He also offers a lot of helpful insight, different perspectives and various ways to approach things. Very professional, but also incredibly human.

I have been working with Simon and will continue to do so.
Simon makes me feel that he is nonjudgmental and accepting of me and that he listens and cares. I feel supported and accepted even when we disagree or am respectfully challenged.
Thanks Simon for wanting to help people!!!

You know Simon is a good therapist when you come back. I had switched companies/insurances but went out of my way to search for Simon.
I think what differentiates Simon is his genuine passion and curiosity for therapy. There are quite a few therapists I've talked with who very obviously are there to pay the bills, and not truly listen. As such, you feel a honest and pure connection with Simon, making the sessions worth the time.

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough! From the very first session, it was clear that he is an exceptional therapist.?
Patient and Adaptable: One of the things I appreciate most about Simon is his patience. He never rushes me and allows me to express my thoughts and feelings fully. When a particular technique isn't resonating, he seamlessly adjusts his approach to find what works best for me.
Simon is an outstanding listener, each session feels tailored to my needs and goals, and is always supportive and encouraging. He takes the time to understand my unique situation and adapts his methods accordingly.
Thanks to Simon, I have made significant improvements in my mental health and overall well-being. If you're looking for a therapist who is patient, adaptable, and a great listener, I highly recommend Simon. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals.
