Thank you for stopping by! I am a second-generation Korean American art therapist and counselor. My therapeutic approach invites clinical expertise with opportunities for self-expression, offering sessions that incorporate appropriate doses of humor and comfort alongside therapeutic work. I may be well-suited for anyone seeking a personalized therapy experience, clients interested in exploring intersectionalities such as racial and multicultural identity, and those who are interested in trying out talk therapy with art.
Trained in both art and talk therapy, I am equipped to guide you through creative and verbal aspects of therapy. I practice art therapy as a collaborative process where we explore the meaning of your work together. Instead of reading or interpreting your art, we explore what you felt and thought while creating your piece. 한국어를 가볍게 사용하는 것은 환영합니다!
Whether you are brand new to therapy, or are familiar with the most contemporary therapy interventions, I am looking to meet you where you are at. I’d love to learn more about you and explore how we can work together. Feel free to schedule an initial meeting—I look forward to meeting you!

For those interested in Korean speaking services: 한국어를 가볍게 사용하는 것은 환영합니다! 저는 한국어와 영어를 섞어서 대화하는 것이 편한 클라이언트와 잘 맞습니다. 제가 한국어로 일상적인 대화는 할 수 있지만, 심도 있는 대화 주제나 위기 상황, 진단, 치료 계획과 같은 중요한 치료 논의에서는 모든 내용을 명확하게 표현하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 이상적으로는 번역하거나 언어에 적응하는 부담이 클라이언트에게 있어서는 안 됩니다. 이 정도의 언어 능력이 괜찮으시다면, 편하게 연락 주세요!
