Psychologist

Feeling stressed and overwhelmed lately? Or struggling with depression or anxiety for as long as you can remember? Everyone might be dealing with something different. My job is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for your pain to be seen. I hope you will feel safe to talk about everything in this space. I believe that psychotherapy, at its core, should be a healing relationship. Through this relationship, you can slowly learn to experience your life a little differently.

My name is Bryant. I hold a doctorate degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.). I am licensed as a clinical psychologist in WA. I have experience working with patients across age ranges who struggle with various issues. I can provide therapy in both English and Mandarin.
