Do you find that you or someone you know is struggling with mood issues, school/work, or other trauma? Are you or someone you know struggling to cope with fears of failure, anxiety, or defeat? Or do you or someone you know struggle with frequent stress, sadness, and lack of communication?

As a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color), I am passionate about creating an open and safe space for BIPOC clients. I have a B.A. in Psychology from Purdue University Northwest, and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a Health Concentration from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have been providing counseling services to a variety of individuals, particularly children, adolescents, and their families, in various settings within the community and schools. I have experience with a variety of issues including mood disorders, anxiety, depression, crisis and trauma-related diagnoses, and other life experiences.

Welcome! As a mental health counselor, I wholeheartedly believe in the inherent power of every individual, including yourself, to embark on a transformative journey toward well-being and personal growth. I have been offering mental health support since earning my Master of Arts in Art Therapy & Counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017. As a Christian, I also offer faith-based assistance to those seeking it. I provide treatment in English and Korean

My belief is that effective counseling develops from establishing a collaborative relationship with clients, as they are the experts in their lives. Through psychodynamic therapy individuals gain a self-awareness and understanding of the influence of their past on present circumstances, and enables individuals to explore unresolved conflicts and symptoms that arise from past dysfunctional relationships and manifest themselves in current issues going in their lives. My belief is that people want to be healthy and happy and sometimes just do not know where to start.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, family and friends, things you care about, are you struggling to make a decision, or feeling emotionally stuck? I am here to help you reclaim control and find balance. My approach to therapy focuses on collaborating with clients to build a nurturing space, where each person's unique strengths and goals are validated and affirmed. I serve individuals and couples in overcoming struggles with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity issues, family conflict, intergenerational trauma, and work/life harmony.

They come to me for various reasons, whether it is - addressing a mental health diagnosis or just wanting a non-bias person to help them process their day-to-day life stressors. My clients want to improve their overall mental health in comfortable and safe space.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Our work combines years of professional training, a diverse set of work experiences, and multiple clinical interests with a philosophy of supporting clients through the power of the therapeutic relationship.

As complex beings, we are created to synergistically function in wholeness in our spirit, soul, and body. When our souls are wounded by negative life experiences, we begin to believe lies about ourselves, the world around us, and God. This leads to the compounding of various negative symptomatic behaviors and thoughts, fueled by a corrupted belief system. It is in the uprooting of these lies through the Spirit of Truth that we find freedom and wholeness, while discovering our created value and purpose this side of Heaven.

I am a psychotherapist, LCPC; graduate from St. Xavier University with a masters in clinical community counseling.

My clients appreciate honest, non-judgmental feedback and are able to gain self-awareness and insight, while working collaboratively to create and accomplish treatment goals.
