As a licensed therapist (LMFT), I offer a non-judgmental, safe space for children, teens, and adults to foster self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, personal growth, and well-being. My goal is to empower you to navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, communication patterns, grief, and life transitions. With over eight years in schools as a counseling professional, I understand the myriad challenges for youth and their families, and I deeply respect and appreciate diverse ethnicities, spiritualities, orientations, and identities.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I provide virtual therapy in both English and Korean, offering a warm and supportive space where you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together toward healing and growth. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" you—it's about helping you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create lasting change.
