I believe in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and survive trauma. I also believe in the importance of the therapist client relationship in the therapy process. When client’s feel safe, heard, and supported they are able to tap into their own strengths and find the courage to examine and address the issues in their life. I use a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify and utilize their own strengths to resolve whatever issues their struggling with. Combining client strengths with evidence-based therapy gives clients the tools they need to overcome their challenges.

I believe truly understanding a person’s journey begins with a compassionate heart. Each person is beautifully unique, harbors inner strengths, and is on a developmental journey, no matter what their age. I work collaboratively and creatively to identify these strengths and explore developmental perspective. During our work together, it is my goal to create a private and safe place in which to explore, heal, and grow.

No one chooses to suffer. When life makes us shrink away from who we really are, we live in pain. As a counselor, I strive to help you feel the most like yourself in reaching your life goals. My work centers on the stories, strengths, and resilience that you and your communities hold. As a Korean immigrant and the able-bodied sister of a brother with a disability, I have learned that change begins when stories are being told and truly heard. You may be ready to talk about your struggles or you may be hesitant, but wherever you are, I would be honored to create a space for your story to be told and heard.

I am a doctorate-trained licensed psychotherapist with 35 years of providing therapy. I have a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I am also completing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychoanalysis. I work with people who are hurting. My patients wish to go beyond symptom relief and work toward symptom resolution by addressing the core underlying issues. I specialized in the treatment of anxiety/panic attacks, unresolved childhood pain, conflictual relationship issues, heartache, grief, sadness, and trauma. As a psychodynamic/psychoanalytical clinician, I support individuals find long-term solutions versus a band-aid approach.

If I were looking for a therapist; I'd be hunting for the person that would listen & reflect on what they heard; offer advice that aligned with the problems presented, and challenge me to expand my perspective. I would want them to respect my beliefs and values; and provide authentic, life-giving examples to apply to my situation - using layman's terms and not their medical terminology vocabulary; but through their heart. Lastly, they would have to be funny and make me laugh through my pain. If that's you, reach out to me and we'll chat to determine if we align and could work well together!

After over 19 years of working in the mental health field, my favorite part of this work is helping people identify who they are based on their strengths and resilience, not their struggles or weaknesses. Every person has value, and I am grateful for the opportunity to assist people in discovering theirs.

****Waitlist Cleared and I am accepting new referrals!!!**** Some of us struggle to live day to day and have stopped dreaming. Why is dreaming left to childhood? If you are searching for peace or to heal an invisible scar, you do not need to suffer or problem solve alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker whose passion for the past 30 years has been creating a safe space for the human experience that we all share. It has been my understanding that you may already have what you need and I have the privilege to be alongside you on that journey.

Offering free initial consultation. Finding the right therapist may seem overwhelming but taking the time to find the"best fit" for you is important. I offer a free phone or face to face consultation so that you have the opportunity to "try on" the therapist and hopefully get "a fit" that is right for you. I work primarily with adults, seniors, and couples on issues ranging from anxiety, depression, work and relational stress, and other problems in living. I view each client as being unique and work to find solutions that are "tailored" to your needs.

I do not keep a waitlist for ethical reasons. As an expressive art therapist, I believe that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process. Combining creative arts with psychotherapy, I offer children, adolescents, adults and families a variety of non-traditional modalities as gateways to exploring both their struggles and strengths. I also offer more traditional modalities from the humanistic and existential perspective. I also have been trained in EMDR.

My goal as a substance use disorder counselor is to assist clientele in identifying their needs and goals of addiction recovery and to help them, learn to help themselves. Many of the clients I see suffer from co-occurring disorders with mental health disorders playing a major role in their ability to remain abstinent from alcohol and/or other drugs. Within that framework of how mental health interacts with addiction, I can provide the client with evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions that can interrupt the relapse process, enabling them to live the life they want to live.

In my private practice, I focus on working with those affected by traumatic events or ongoing traumatic exposure. I have experience in outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, and emergency management. While I work with many experiences of trauma and all posttraumatic stress, I specialize in work with first responders or other professionals that are routinely exposed to occupational trauma.

**Currently my practice is full and I am not able to see new clients at this time. Thank you for your interest. ** Often people begin counseling to change something and feel better. Working together at your pace, I focus on what may be getting in the way today and work with you to find ways of dealing with life on a day-to-day basis more resourcefully. If it is relevant we'll also look at the past to work out how your history might be part of what is going on today. As each person has a unique set of problems and their own way of reacting to them, my approach is individualized.

I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults as well as family therapy. I have worked with individuals and families for over five years. Children, adolescents and families often find themselves struggling with difficult emotions and communication, acting out on these emotions through a variety of behaviors that can influence and injure relationships. I work with my clients to help them recognize what may be triggering these emotions and behaviors, and then support them in making positive changes within their relationships. I have experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, anger management, and relationship or family struggles.

"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living." --Gail Sheehy. I am so pleased to live in Midcoast Maine and work with those in the community to seek out life's joys and opportunities. As a therapist, it is essential to work with people where they're at, and help guide them to where they want to be. I've assisted people along such paths in a variety of settings and ranges of diagnostic severity. ***Currently not accepting new clients. ***
