(No Openings At the Moment) Let’s face it: life can be tough. Have you tried everything to feel calm and content, yet nothing sticks? It can be scary to get help from a counselor -- you want to be sure that they are attuned to your struggles and understand your complicated situations. I specialize in helping individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational issues. I also provide a safe space for cross-cultural adjustment, identity formation, and self-esteem enhancement. Only research-based approaches are offered so you can feel better, faster.

Are you struggling with painful experiences or uncomfortable emotions? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you experiencing any blockages in communication with your children?

I also love working with immigrants and minorities struggling with racial/cultural identity, acculturation, and various mental health issues. I offer sessions in both English and Korean to best meet the needs of culturally diverse populations.

I have been honored to work with individuals and families since 1999. Life can at times be a bumpy ride, and sometimes we might feel stuck not knowing how to handle certain situations, but my core belief is that we all have the inner ability to make each life experience a growing opportunity. I support clients by using collaborative, compassionate, and culturally-sensitive approaches. I also incorporate mindfulness and gratitude and strive to offer clients a safe and caring space throughout their journey.
