I have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), Sensorimotor, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Based Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I believe that choosing to engage in therapy is one of the bravest acts that one can do for themselves. It requires a person to acknowledge and confront potentially painful experiences and negative core beliefs that can have become foundational. Therapy can help to establish a healthier foundation. I strive to develop a therapeutic relationship by cultivating collaboration, encouraging vulnerability, challenging avoidance, and acknowledging how difficult all of this can be to navigate. I view myself, and the therapy space, as a container in which to foster change and I approach every client with empathy, curiosity and compassion.

I’m an IFS therapist also trained in EMDR and Emotion-Focused Therapy, offering depth work for adults and teens ready to move past surface coping.
You feel things deeply—in rooms, in people, in the spaces between words. You’ve been called “too much,” but you’re simply tuned to a deeper frequency. Many who find me are sensitive, intuitive caretakers—therapists, healers, creatives, seekers—often carrying marginalized identities and ancestral stories that don’t fit a symptom checklist. You’ve done talk therapy and feel called to something deeper, more embodied, more honest. As a mixed-race Korean American IFS therapist, I meet you where evidence-based care and heart-and-soul healing meet, so the parts of you that have carried so much can come back to themselves

I’m EMDR-trained and trauma-informed, and my work is grounded in evidence-based therapy that supports lasting change, not just short-term coping.
You may look like you’re functioning well on the outside, but internally feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-criticism, or ongoing tension around food, body image, or control. You might be tired of managing everything on your own and want a space where you can slow down, be honest, and work toward real change.

I draw from EMDR, AEDP, IFS, Somatic Therapy, Existential Humanistic Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy.
We all hold innate potential for growth, and with supportive conditions, we lean toward it like a seed seeking sunshine. Trauma and pain can interrupt our natural tendency to heal, leading to harmful patterns, stuckness, and suffering. Our work in therapy is to restore the torn relationship with the self and move towards freedom and thriving. I see the therapeutic relationship as a container to cultivate trust and “un-do” aloneness created by trauma. Together, we will unfold your unique story, strengths, and challenges.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
