Born and raised in South Korea, I immigrated to the United States at the age of 16. Before beginning my nursing career, I proudly served in the South Korean military, completing my mandatory service as a sergeant in the special forces. During that time, I had the unique honor of serving as a United Nations peacekeeper in Lebanon during the Arab Spring—an experience that deeply shaped my understanding of resilience, trauma, and global mental health needs. I began my career as a nurse practitioner in 2017 and have over a decade of experience in the field, primarily at a regional academic medical center.
My clinical focus has been in addiction psychiatry, where I played a key role in establishing an injectable medications program in the outpatient setting. I’ve also served on the inpatient psychiatry team, providing care to individuals experiencing acute mental health crises.
My approach to mental health care is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate their unique paths toward healing and recovery.
