David's approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned. He uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method for couples work, and EMDR for processing individual and intergenerational trauma. He understands the unique pressures faced by Asian-American individuals and couples — from family expectations to the model minority myth — and creates a space where these experiences can be explored without judgment.

He offers in-person sessions in Seattle and telehealth across Washington State.
