Clients bring different issues and needs to therapy: addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and the list goes on. I believe that they are seeking counseling/therapy because they want to fix, change, and overcome things. That's where I come into play. I may not have all the answers, tools, and steps to change everything, but I know how to work with the clients as they process their needs.

It can seem scary to talk to someone about your struggles in mental health. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and judgement-free environment for you to express your concerns. A space where we can work together to facilitate growth. I aim to build an empathic relationship for you to know that you are seen and heard. As an Asian American myself, I value different cultural backgrounds and strive to work with your culture.

모든 사람은 감정과 행동상의 어려움에서 벗어나 행복한 삶을 추구할 권리가 있습니다. 행복은 선택이 아니라 필수사항입니다. 그리고 모든 인간은 충만한 삶을 누릴 자격이 있습니다. 성공과 행복한 삶을 추구하기 위해서 우리는 신체적인 건강뿐만 아니라 심리적인 건강을 유지해야 합니다. 만약 심리적인 건강을 잃는다면 육체적인 건강도 영향을 받을 수 있고, 육체적인 건강을 잃게 된다면 안정적인 심리와 정신건강을 유지할 수 없게 될 것입니다.

Envision our sessions as a secure sanctuary, a place where we unravel the complexities of your thoughts and emotions, discover your authentic self, and initiate a path that harmonizes with your dreams.

You have appeared ok, but deep inside stressed for quite a while. You have thought about therapy, but either mental health is too much a topic to face, or you find it too hard to find a therapist who can really understand your culture and speak your language.

Our psychotherapists are here to help.

Feeling spread thin? Are your boundaries not set and respected? Intrusive, overwhelming thoughts won’t leave you alone? Stuck in a mental space vacuum where it’s hard to get yourself grounded and in control? Insecure in the way you present yourself in certain spaces? Find yourself reacting and regretting rather than mindfully responding? My curiosity drives my sessions to hear and understand your unique story in which you are the narrator, main character, and expert. I work with various clients, including children, teens, college students, those in midst of transitions, adults, and immigrants. Sessions in Korean are also available!

Emotional suffering and pain originate from the early childhood experiences which shape our minds. The haunted ghost from our past takes residence in our minds so that we repeat unhealthy patterns and continue suffering and pain. How can we free ourselves from the ghost spell? By providing a holding environment and sharing my genuine curiosity and psychoanalytic understanding, I help my patients sever the tie to the ghost from the past and break the spell. Insights into the root of their symptoms and difficulties and a new experience in a therapeutic relationship lead to psychological change, greater freedom, and enriched lives.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and struggling to understand their roots, or finding it challenging to navigate your relationships and communicate your needs effectively, you've taken an important step by seeking support here. I'm dedicated to helping you find relief, feel truly seen, ground yourself, and embark on a journey toward understanding your innermost self and intentions. In my therapeutic approach, I offer genuine warmth and openness, grounded in a sincere quest for truth.
