I am a licensed psychologist with an integrative and collaborative approach, drawing on interpersonal, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive frameworks. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity concerns, self-esteem issues, family of origin dynamics, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions, including immigration and cultural adjustment. I support clients who feel stuck in patterns that create distress or disconnection, providing a space for reflection, resilience, and meaningful growth. Fluent in Korean and English, I provide culturally sensitive care that respects the whole person.
My work focuses on helping clients identify and shift long-standing patterns that contribute to distress or disconnection. I provide a safe, collaborative space that fosters insight and growth. As a bilingual clinician, I am committed to a caring and effective therapeutic relationship that supports healing and meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative relationship where you feel respected and supported. If you’re ready to explore new paths toward growth, I welcome you to reach out.
