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).

Turning towards any source of conflict takes a great deal of strength and courage. The fact that you're here, reading my profile, is an indicator you're considering facing your source of conflict. You might be struggling with how to communicate. You and your partner may be having difficulties sharing with each other your needs for closeness, appreciation, and connection. You might even find yourselves having the same arguments nearly every day about things like life changes, household responsibilities, or parenting disagreements.

Currently accepting new clients! My favorite part about this work is building trusting relationships which can promote growth and healing. My goal is to create a collaborative and empowering environment that provides acceptance and compassion while taking strides towards one’s own desired change. I value your personal experiences, perspectives and knowledge in your therapeutic journey. I strive to provide an inclusive space that is accepting of individuality and reinforces living in accordance with your values.

Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you.

I do analytic work in accord with training of the C. G. Jung Institut, Zurich. There is special attention to dreams, creativity, and attention to the unconscious. Depth psychology takes time, and people work diligently. In the process the whole personality is engaged. Jungian psychology is forward looking and may elucidate the way through difficult transition. I work for a reduced fee, in lieu of insurance payment. This is an opportunity to do Jungian Analysis at an affordable cost. I appreciate work with individuals that have done therapy, gained psychological understanding, and would like to go futher into depth psychology.

Your experience is valid whether it be sadness, anxiety/worry, lack of self-trust, substance use/misuse, low motivation, a sense of disconnect from yourself or others, or difficulty adjusting. You may feel like you are moving through life without purpose or meaning, like your brain is on autopilot reacting to the world instead of responding mindfully. As a therapist, I help people tap into their inner healing systems in order to understand and welcome all parts of themselves. My goal is to help you feel empowered in approaching life and your relationships with greater clarity, ease, calm, creativity, and confidence.
