Hello. My name is Iihae (pronounced E-heh). I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and I have been in this field for over 28 years. I have worked with clients of all ages and from all walks of life. My special interest is in helping clients to resolve the impact of traumatic experiences. I am a Level II therapist in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and certified in Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), a somatic therapy. I also have extensive training background in Brainspotting and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy).

With over 30 years of pastoral and professional counseling background, I offer an experienced and empathic approach to couples and individuals who are dealing with relational or personal challenges. Common issues that I work with include anxiety, unprocessed family of origin experiences, sexual trauma, addictions, infidelity, spiritual direction, and reconciliation. My intention as a therapist is to listen, to love and to learn my client's life story, with the hope of engaging individuals and couples into the reality of fulfilling futures, transformative change, and authentic, healthy relationships.

Are you tired of ending your days full of overwhelm, fear and anxiety? Are you juggling a high power career to family life at home? The constant thinking and juggling all the things is making you feel stuck and with absolutely no time to care for yourself. All the while becoming more distant from your partner and being robbed of spending quality time with your children. You are dreading the days and can't seem to keep up with your long list of to-dos. You just don't know what else to do.

When someone is thinking about finding a therapist they are choosing a hopeful and courageous path. They know they need support, maybe things they've tried in the past haven't worked as well as they'd hoped. I bring a compassionate and curious lens to gently explore the factors that contribute to the way you experience the world. These factors may include events in your past, stressors in your present life, or the effect of living within societal structures that may not support your full and complex development. I have an affirming approach that respects all genders, races, sexual identities, everyone!

The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and Family therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality.

I work with individuals and families on bringing healing and transformation to their life. Whether past traumas or current life transitions are keeping you stuck, therapy is a place to find support, empathy, and growth. A place to develop a practice for living each moment more fully. If you find that fear, conflict and self judgement cloud your path, I can help you find hope.

Mental health is as important as physical health. So if you need professional help with your mind, just as you would seek a doctor for your physical health, you need to see a mental health therapist.

I am also a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator and can help couple get the relationship analyzed across 14 dimensions including communication, finance, sex, parenting, religion, etc.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have served clients of all ages, in all life stages, and of various backgrounds. My therapeutic skills have been honed by solid training, my own emotional work, and from walking with clients who have allowed me into their sacred process of growth for the last 27 years.

I primarily work with leaders and their family members to find healthy work/life rhythms, manage stress, heal from trauma, and develop strategies for health. As a pastor and licensed clinical psychologist (PSY35006), I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and children who are facing varying challenges in life to find pathways through pain and into healing, growth, and vitality.

As your psychologist/therapist I will help you in anyway that I can. I will provide you a supportive and comforting environment in which you will able to share and process your feelings. We will also look at ways that we can improve your psychological health and well-being by applying cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, as well as recovery, spirituality, and grief and loss issues. We will identify any illnesses and issues, and will work towards full recovery. I see individuals, couples and families for psychotherapy, intervention and consultation. I specialize in mood, anxiety, addictive and relationship disorders.

I specialize in working with dually diagnosed individuals and their families with severe and persistent mental illnesses, such as Polysubstance Dependence, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, Bipolar Disorder, and Acute Anxiety Disorders. I have always had a special interest in working with family and couples, especially where one or both suffer from severe mental illness. I am on staff at several local inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities, and help facilitate hospital admissions in a sensitive and professional manner. I offer individual and family community interventions as needed. I also help professionals coping with workplace stress.

I believe that our lives are built on relationships. Be it between parent and child, partner and partner, supervisor and employee, or peer and peer, relationships can be healing and rewarding, but they can also be painful and difficult. We all know the stress and heartache that can come from a relationship in distress and we all know that desperate, painful feeling of wanting relief. Helping people find their way through these difficulties and back to each other is one of the most rewarding and exciting things I do. I specialize in helping families connect and thrive.

You are seeking a therapist because you are in emotional pain. Are you struggling with an addiction – sex, alcohol, drugs, or gambling? Have you been abused as a child or in an adult relationship? Have you experienced sexual assault, violence or other trauma? Are you experiencing issues with your significant other or other relationships? Sometimes addiction, depression, anger, and anxiety can happen because of a trauma history. Treating trauma can help you get your emotional health back and free you from addictive behavior and pain.

However you may have arrived here, I hope you consider this your invitation to enter a process of healing, renewed hope, and self-becoming. In therapy, we bring a sense of liberation to your emotions, experiences, and identity, and grow toward a sense of confidence to make the changes you desire.
