Hello! Asking for help and finding a therapist is not easy and I am so glad you’re here. You may be feeling like your thoughts, experiences, and emotions are too much or too painful and you deserve a nonjudgmental space to be heard. You may also feel like your relationships, school/work, and home life are being negatively impacted by how you feel inside and you wish you could speak to yourself with more kindness. So if the ways in which you've learned to keep yourself safe aren't working in the same way that they used to, let's talk about it.

Waitlist. I believe that we are all story tellers of our own lives. The story evolves based on our past experiences, which in turn, may be how we view the world and our place in it. A few key ingredients people need to thrive are safety, significance and a sense of belonging. We need to be seen and heard. I offer a space that is safe for that to happen.

I am honored to offer space to process and reflect and help clients connect to themselves and others in a deeper way. I believe we each have our own inner widsom and therapy is a place to discover that wisdom. Clients describe me as down to earth, creative, compassionate, funny, direct, warm and intuitive. I specialize in grief and loss, education, healthcare and mental health professionals, secondary and primary trauma and clients who have connection with adoption or foster care. I work from strength based and trauma informed models and draw from IFS, Attachment, Narrative and Somatic/Experiential/Sandtray modalities.

I am a second generation Korean-American born and raised on the unceded ancestral lands of the Dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish Tribe) and now live as a guest upon Mni Sóta Maḳoce, Dakota homeland. My relational approach is built upon 15+ years working with and alongside individuals, families and communities to nurture growth as an educator, coach, trainer and leader. Becoming a parent in 2014 both broke and broke me open, ushering intergenerational healing and cultural reclamation that continues today. A lifelong learner, I continue to journey along a path towards “Becoming a Good Ancestor” (credit: Layla Saad).

Navigating life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming and intimidating. As your therapist, I’ll hold space for you to express your fears and vulnerabilities in a supportive space.

As a therapist and previous educator, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of varying abilities and identities.

Immediate client openings available! I approach treatment and therapy through a trauma-informed, client-centered, and harm-reduction lens. I would like to assist you in processing your emotions in a healthy manner and to assist you in learning the necessary skills to acquire new tools to make the changes you want in your life. I am passionate in helping individuals that struggle with PTSD, substance use, depression, anxiety, fear, shame/guilt, grief/loss, life transitions, identity issues, and relationship concerns.

I am passionate about supporting clients in improving the quality of their relationships.

Life gets hard, messy, and overwhelming which can lead us to feel like we’re not good enough. We get stuck in the stories of our inner critic and everything just feels harder. We turn to disconnection, numbing out, or over-working to get by. Somewhere along the way, we might even lose connection with our self and the people who matter to us. It can be difficult to understand why we’re feeling this way and what our needs are.

Congratulations on taking the first steps towards better mental health. I have over 14 years of experience helping individuals living with mental health disorders develop coping strategies, find balance, and experience peace. I look forward to supporting you in creating lasting and effective change. My practice emphasizes dignity and self determination for every individual seeking recovery, balance, and well being.

My approach to therapy is relational, attachment focused, systems based, and trauma informed as I believe how we experience the world is through an eclectic lens of our relational and developmental histories, genetic and biological make-up, experiences with others, and the communities in which we live. I believe that sometimes healing is best ignited through connection, support, and exploration. I practice primarily with adult individuals, families, and couples navigating the effects of stress, PTSD/trauma, identity exploration and self-esteem, life transitions, oppression, and dual-diagnosis.

As a Licensed Psychologist, my professional approach encourages a person's strengths, inherent resilience, and individual differences that contribute to personal development and meaningfulness.

I earned both a Master's and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota, and I completed my Pre-doctoral Internship at the University of Michigan and Post-doctoral Fellowship at an eating disorder treatment center.
