About Me
I am an Asian-American male licensed psychologist (PSY 27745) who lives and works in the East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area) since 2014. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Azusa Pacific University with an emphasis in Family Psychology and consultation. I am also the CEO of Pivot (www.pivot-co.com) consulting firm and the author of the best-selling book “Choose Better: The Optimal Decision-Making Framework.” I have a private practice associated with the Eastside Christian Counseling Center in Dublin, CA. I worked at Kaiser Permanente for the past 6.5 years and supervised postdoctoral residents and psychological associates since 2016. Prior to college, I enlisted in the United States Army as a mental health specialist for over 8 years. Things that make me happy are supportive people, superheroes (Marvel & DC comics), nature, aquariums, and volleyball!
