You’ve been carrying a lot. But lately, it’s been heavy—juggling grief, anxiety, family expectations, burnout from work, or a relationship that feels stuck. You might be a child of immigrants or emotionally immature parents, trying to make sense of what you inherited and who you want to be. For individuals and couples, I offer space to unpack the wounds of the past, reconnect with your needs, and shift the patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you're navigating dating, healing attachment wounds, or doing the deep work of finding your voice—I’m here to walk with you, not fix you. Together, we’ll move toward trust and healing.
As a second-generation Korean-Canadian woman, I understand how culture, identity, and intergenerational expectations can shape how we move through the world. I specialize in attachment wounding, religious trauma, sex and intimacy, and the invisible load that many don't see. You’re welcome to bring all parts of yourself, no need to filter or perform.
My style is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I bring curiosity, depth, and care into each session. There’s space for both laughter and grief here. I won't rush your process or offer quick fixes—just steady, thoughtful support as you explore the roots of what’s hard and move toward a life that feels more true to you.

My approach is person-centered, which means that our work is led by you. In our sessions, I strive to create a space that is comfortable, where there's room for tears, laughter, and everything in between. I often utilize skills from AEDP, EFT and IFS.
