Therapists in Pacific Palisades, CA

나는 정상이라 괜찮아! 라고 생각하셨나요? 심리상담은 "정상"인 우리 모두에게 필요한, 내가 나를 찾아가는 성장의 여정입니다. 많은 한국 분들이 심리상담을 어려워 합니다. 아마 한국인의 정서상 전문가에게 내 문제를 말하고 조언을 구하는게 아직 익숙하지 않기 때문인것 같습니다. 상처받은 마음을 들여다보고 문제점을 해결하는 과정은 마치, 몸이 아플때 의사를 찾아가서 치료를 받는 것과 같습니다. 평소에 정신건강에 관심을 갖고, 내 마음을 잘 보살피면 더 큰 어려움이 오는것을 예방할수 있겠죠. 그 과정에 때로는 전문가의 개입이 훨씬 도움이 되고 효율적인 때가 많습니다. 저는 불안 증상을 다루는데 있어서 전문가입니다. 그 밖에, 우울증, 적응문제, 인간관계, 가족 갈등, 정체성의 고민, 스트레스, 트라우마, 상실과 애도, 애착이슈 등을 중점적으로 연구하고 상담합니다. 나의 가장 두렵고 상처받은 부분을 잘 보듬어줄 수 있는 전문가를 선택하기 위해, 상담자의 교육, 훈련 배경등을 아는것은 중요한 첫걸음 입니다.

살다보면 인생이란 것이 참으로 힘들고 어려운 문제들로 가득하게 느껴질 때가 많습니다. 그런 순간에 "나만 이렇게 힘들어 하는 건 아닐까? 왜 나는 이렇게 방황하고 있는걸까?" 라는 생각에 더욱 지치고, 힘들고, 외로워 졌던 경험이 있으신가요? 그런 힘들고 외로운 순간들, 오랜시간의 고통 속에 아파했던 시간들 가운데에 저희 Time for Me Therapy가 함께 해드리겠습니다. 삶의 여러가지 상황에서 상처를 받고 있는 많은 분들이 저와의 뜻 깊은 시간을 통해 마음의 치유와 함께 더 나은 자신, 더 행복한 삶을 향해 한 걸음 더 가까이 다가가 실 수 있기를 희망합니다. 공감과 존중의 마음으로 따뜻하게 여러분의 변화와 성장을 위해 함께 노력할 것을 약속 드립니다.

Are you an adult child of immigrants who struggles with setting boundaries with your parents, family, friends, and/or partner? Maybe you're used to being the fixer, caregiver, co-parent, and all around problem solver for your family. Does the idea of saying "no" make you feel guilty? Perhaps you've never really put yourself first because the idea of choosing yourself over others is unthinkable. Do you feel a constant battle between your head and your heart? It's hard not to feel stuck when you're unable to move forward on the path you really want for yourself or when you don't even know what you want and need.

Do you find difficulties with feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship/family problems, and trauma? These emotional disruptions can have a significant impact on our lives. Coping with these events requires various approaches, and I can assist you in recognizing your emotions and identifying possible patterns in your relationships.

I utilize EMDR, CBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, & person-centered therapy to reduce anxiety and trauma symptoms, foster resilience, and enhance the quality of life.

Life at times can seem like a roller coaster with all of its twists and turns. The inevitable ups and downs with no clear direction can leave us feeling lost. Unforeseen events throw us around for a loop, reminding of us of the uncertainties and whimsical nature of life. Depression, anxiety, feelings of helpless or being left behind can shortly follow. Other times, the opposite is true. Staleness, stagnation, and the far too predictable aspects can lock us down. Is more structure the answer? Or is it more flexibility? It is my hope that we can find the answers to the many questions together, as companions on this journey together.

How do you feel about seeking help, especially for your mental and emotional health? Do you think it’s a sign of weakness? As a psychologist, I see it as a sign of strength, courage, self-awareness and maturity. I work with my clients to identify what they’re needing in order for them to improve their lives. I help people find the ways to change and experience personal growth and healing. I support my clients as they discover new aspects of themselves, which can be a challenging but rewarding process.

Changes in relationships, starting a family, navigating a breakup, leaving for college, changing careers, or unexpected situations, to name a few- could elicit discomfort that makes us feel stuck, anxious, and/or depressed. Navigating life might feel difficult due to the uncertainties but we do not have to continue to feel this way. I firmly believe everyone has the tools within them to survive, thrive, process, and grow. Together, we will discover these tools, find tangible ways to achieve your goals, and gain clarity about the unknown while exploring your strengths and building resiliency toward healing and empowerment.

I have expertise working with children, families, and adults. I can help you address challenges you may be experiencing, better define your goals, increase your motivation, map out a plan, and guide you through achieving your goals.
