I was born in South Korea and moved to the U.S. as a teenager—a transition that deeply shaped how I understand identity, belonging, and the ways culture shapes our inner lives. Growing up between cultures taught me how complex it can be to find language for what we feel—especially when those feelings don’t fit neatly into categories. That’s part of why I approach therapy not just as treatment, but as an ongoing conversation: about where someone’s been, who they are, and how they want to move forward.
In our work together, I prioritize trust, curiosity, and collaboration. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe exploring both the visible and unspoken parts of their story. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices, but always tailored to the person in front of me.
I support people facing anxiety, depression, burnout, cultural tension, grief, or trauma—and those seeking deeper self-understanding. I welcome it all with openness and care. Whether working short-term on a specific challenge or over time toward broader transformation, I aim to guide the process with clarity, respect, and compassion.
