Do you lie awake at night with unending worries, watching a to-do list pile up despite your best efforts? Are you constantly showing up for others, but struggling to show up for yourself? If any of these sound close to home, you have come to the right place. I work with people who feel "out of place" between who they are now and who they want to be. Most of my clients identify as the following: young or early career professionals navigating demands of work and personal life, first- and second-generation immigrants of Asian or Asian-American background, and first-time parents working to integrate their new role into their lives.

I offer a safe space where you can show up as your authentic self. Using a holistic, compassionate, and collaborative approach, I will help you gain insight, identify recurring maladaptive patterns, and realign your identity with your vision for life. I am bilingual in Korean and English, and can provide therapy in Korean upon request (한국어 상담 가능합니다).

I appreciate you taking the time to be here. I am invested in learning more about you, what you are going through, and supporting you creating the life you deserve. If I am not the right therapist, I will help you find someone that may be a good fit for you.
