Feeling some type of way? Say, "Hey, JeeHye (G-Hey)!" Together, we can address your worries, low moods, sleep disturbances, work/school stress, struggle with confidence, experiences of being othered, difficulty with relationships, anger/resentment, lack of motivation, feelings of not wanting to be here, and more. If you have ever experienced trauma, I can help you understand how it has impacted you in hopes of changing any unhelpful ways you may have learned to protect yourself. My work is grounded in a commitment to social justice and inclusivity. I strive for a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share openly.
I care deeply about Asian and broader BIPOC mental health, bringing my immigrant experience to culturally responsive care. I offer counselling in English & Korean. I use an eclectic approach and have training in EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and CBT. I like to incorporate aspects of spirituality, focusing on how you connect with yourself and the world around you.
Others have described me as relatable, witty, enthusiastic, humble, warm, spunky, vibrant, open-minded, curious, funny, thoughtful, cheerful, genuine, creative, and a shining light. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you are ready to take the next step in your healing journey, please feel free to reach out to see if we're a good fit.

I like to take a deconstructive approach to therapy where I externalize the problem from the individual and look at any structural influences that may have shaped a person's experience of distress. I like to draw on resilience and build positive connections from within. I use EMDR to help clients create distance from their trauma and be more present in their daily lives.
