Hi and welcome! My name is Heeyoung. First of all, congratulations on taking the initiative to care for your mental health. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, walking alongside you to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and to find tools to help you get closer to your goals As a relational therapist, I focus on my clients’ attachment patterns and support them in healing the wounded child selves that may be hindering their ability to show up as wise adults. Using a systemic lens, we will explore how relationships with loved ones have shaped your inner worlds — from your thoughts and emotions to core beliefs.
I specialize in couple’s and sex therapy, where I help clients navigate infidelity, loss of connection and trust, differences in sexual desire, and the process of reconnecting with their sexual and sensual selves. I also enjoy supporting individuals and families and working on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, body image, self-identity and more.
Over a decade ago, I personally experienced the healing power of talk therapy that can literally save lives and give hope to the hopeless. I hope to do the same for you. I provide a non-judgmental, safe place for my clients to feel heard. I am here to help you recognize the strength you already possess so that you can get to where you want to be.

I use EFT(emotionally focused therapy) and the Gottman Method to help couples not only improve their relationships but also heal each other's old attachment wounds. Knowing that you can talk to your partner and they will be there for you can give you the safety and courage we all need. My goal is to help couples break out of their negative cycles and create a new dance.
