My experience in the mental health field has taught me the patience, empathy, and passion that are pivotal in understanding your hopes and personal struggles. Being an Asian-American has given me the opportunity to better understand the experience of minority groups in America and drives my continued curiosity about the intricacies of being part of marginalized groups. 9+ Years in a committed relationship also affords me personal experience with the contentions that are part and parcel with connection. I approach therapy as a collaborative effort between therapist and client. I value what everyone brings into the therapy room, and I love to work with a sense of humor and informality.

I received my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and am working towards licensure. I am currently working under the license and supervision of Carolyn Dehnbostel. Couples and individuals are the main systems that I work with. Please contact me at michaelt@mncoupletherapycenter.com if you are interested in working together or have any questions. I take most forms of insurance and have a sliding scale for those who wish to pay out-of-pocket.
