When life feels overwhelming, it’s natural to crave a space where you can just breathe—a space where you’re not judged but understood. That’s exactly what Ben offers. A compassionate, judgment-free environment where your story truly matters.
Growing up and to this day, he cares deeply for his sister with level 3 autism, a role that instilled in him patience and empathy. Coupled with his journey as a Vietnamese-American, Ben understands the weight of navigating cultural expectations, identity, and life’s pressures.
Ben utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy—approaches that go beyond temporary fixes to help you connect with your core values and move toward the life you want. But more than techniques, Ben believes in you. He knows you already have the strength to overcome your struggles; his role is to help you access and trust it.
What truly sets Ben apart is his ability to connect. This isn’t therapy where you feel like just another client or problem to solve. With Ben, it’s personal. He listens deeply and meets you exactly where you are.
Whether you’re an adult feeling stuck in the grind of daily life or a teenager searching for understanding, Ben is here to walk that path with you, offering the compassion and clarity you deserve. This is your story, your life, and your chance to reconnect with who you are and who you want to be.
