Your spouse feels more like your roommate. You don't recognize them anymore. Neither of you are the same person you were when you first married. Sitting on the couch together is like snuggling up to a stranger on a plane. Neither of you feels supported, heard, or appreciated. Despite being with each other for years, your communication has worsened. You've both become reactive. You ask yourself, “At what point did we lose touch? Before baby number 2? After the umpteenth job change? When their mom moved in ‘just for a couple of months’ a year ago?” You're craving laughter, love, and connection. You're ready to have your partner back.

My purpose is to create a safe nonjudgemental space for people that struggle with sadness or depression, and or feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety. I am a combat veteran and understand the challenges associated with readjustment to civilian life, and the lasting impact combat can have on an individual and family.

Hi and welcome! My name is Heeyoung. First of all, I’m glad you’re taking the initiative to take charge of your mental health!

I am accepting new clients! I see individuals, couples, and families! Our journey through life can be challenging at times. We often allow our past, present, and even future circumstances to prevent us from optimizing our journey. Whether you are a mother juggling multiple roles, a spouse feeling unappreciated, a young adult figuring out life, or a child/teen whose parents don't understand, I will work with you to identify your needs, create goals, and help you conquer emotional and behavioral challenges that arise at each stage of your journey.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. The approaches I use include EMDR, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neurobiology, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

Adopting or fostering comes with many challenges. Families go into it excited about the child they will love and care for, and it is common to experience many challenges in loving a child from a hard place. Children placed for adoption or in foster care have experienced a great deal of loss. This leaves them dealing with pain on a deep level. Families often feel guilty or like they haven't been good parents if their child experiences attachment difficulties. But the truth is that it would be weird if they didn't based on their life experiences. These issues are complex and multi-layered, often involving the entire family system.
