Hi, welcome! My name is Michelle and I am a 1.5 generation Korean-American Bilingual therapist. I want to help you cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. Life can present challenging obstacles that might impact our emotional, physical, and mental well-being. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, tired, lost, or unfulfilled, I can help you understand the underlying reasons behind those feelings. I have experience working with diverse group of clientele navigate through depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, multicultural experiences and more.
In my practice, I utilize components and tools from various Evidence-based treatments. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy to help process traumatic experiences. Furthermore, I am trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy as well as Perinatal Mental health to become a PMH-C.
It takes a lot of bravery and courage to begin therapy. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgemental space for you to unpack, make meaning of your experiences, and reconnect with the most authentic version of yourself. I want to encourage you to reach out and begin your journey today. It would be an honor to walk alongside you!
