Bio

Too often the problems and emotional pain that loom large in our lives are compounded by a lack of understanding of its origins or the discrepancy between our inner dialogue and the true reality. I believe that lasting change comes from working on these discrepancies and clearly defining our values and strengths in an environment that is free from judgment of any kind. I am a child of Korean immigrants and bring a multicultural perspective to my therapeutic approach that also includes a social justice perspective. I believe in contextualizing your struggles and life experiences against a background of systemic societal inequities as well as delving into your unique experience within your family and community.

If you want to improve your self-esteem, decision-making, or boundary-setting, I could help you explore and build the skills necessary to navigate your life. If you have had trauma, grief, or loss, I can help you find healing while adjusting to a new normal. Together, we can discover your inner resilience and strengths to help you navigate life more joyfully.

I will meet you where you are and we will go from there together. I offer a warm, empathetic, and judgment free environment and use an integrative approach to draw from a variety of therapeutic principles and tailor them to your specific needs.
