Have you gone as far as you can in traditional psychotherapy? Are you looking to go deeper sooner? Do you want sustainable results within one to three sessions? Are you serious and committed to treatment? Then consider undergoing psychological surgery in addition to psychotherapy. For 28 years I have helped patients release fear, anger, shame, guilt, depression, or anxiety so they can experience sustaining self-love, joy, compassion, forgiveness, and discernment. If you have lost your way and want to remember who you really are, I am here to accompany you on your journey to heal at the deepest level possible.
You will have access to integrative mental health services that heal the mind, body, and soul. If you want to go beyond clinical psychotherapy and heal at a deeper level, your treatment can be tailored to integrate spiritual psychotherapy like RoHun, Yhandi, or hypnotherapy. Patients have found integrated therapy to be powerfully transformative.
Being a bi-racial (Korean and Black) Jewish female, I am curious about my patients. As the only practicing RoHun Doctor in the state, I lovingly guide you through the deepest parts of healing using clinical and psycho-spiritual modalities. Before inquiring, please visit my website and indicate what you are looking to work on and why in your email. Thank you!

I work with patients committed to addressing the underlying issues contributing to their symptoms and negative life experiences. During the initial sessions, you will face your lost parts and understand how they attempt to return for healing in the form of self-sabotage, depression, anxiety, confusion, control, fear, and unworthiness so you can feel aliveness and whole.

I am known for my clinical artistry and psychological surgery. Patients appreciate getting as close to the source of their original pain as possible so they can heal more quickly and sustainably. Their ability to be in control of how and whether they choose to heal is empowering and moves them out of being a victim into the space of being their own (s)hero.
