FORENSIC SERVICES: I provide evaluations, record review, & expert testimony for civil and criminal proceedings, including employment discrimination, ADA accommodation, personal injury, guardianship, waiver, competency, & sentencing. CLINICAL SERVICES: I offer psychotherapy and evaluation. My therapy clients work with me on a variety of issues, including anxiety & OCD, loss, relationships, career challenges, mood isorders, and ADD. My treatment approaches include psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, and social skills training.

Simply put, an ideal client is the one who just shows up. Whether or not you have been gently encouraged to seek therapy or you have made the decision on your own, it takes courage and intention to move forward on your journey towards growth, self-awareness, and healing. I tend to work well with clients who appreciate elevating and employing their level of introspection and insight. Ideal clients prefer and are open to delving deeper beneath the surface while at the same time understanding and appreciating the importance of behavioral based tools, techniques and interventions that ultimately help practical functionality.

I believe in self-reflection and helping others to become their authentic selves. When we know and understand ourselves, we can begin to regain control, have the types of relationships that we believe we deserve, and choose our own paths in life. My clinical interests include anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, worry and perfectionism, and family discord. I am an integrative therapist that most often utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while incorporating other evidence-based treatment approaches.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with adolescents, adults and families in psychotherapy, consultations and evaluations. (A) Treatments for substance and behavioral addiction have been a special area of interest and expertise, and I work closely with individuals who have concerns about their substance use, gambling or internet/gaming overuse. (B) I specialize in working with couples and families who experience relational difficulties and disruptive family functioning, between parents or in parent-child relations. (C) As a Korean-American clinician, I conduct evaluations and therapy with Asian-American young adults and their families.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or are experiencing increased anxiety due to the pandemic, you are not alone. In a supportive and comfortable atmosphere, we can work together to help you create strategies and learn skills for managing negative emotions and troubling symptoms. I particularly enjoy working with those who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, identity issues, and relationship issues. I work well with people from all backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. I also enjoy working with adolescents and can work with families as well.

Though it may be a bit cliche, "Help me help you..." has been a powerful message in my nearly 17 years' experience in a variety of multidisciplinary settings (e.g., inpatient, hospital, residential, outpatient/community, school, college, forensic). I believe in the power of resilience and self-empowerment; however, for those times when that isn't working or a little more is needed, I am here for support. You are the expert on you; I am here to get you back to where want to be or help move you to where you want to go.

The psychotherapy I offer provides my clients with relief from feeling unhappy, with a better understanding of their unhappiness, and gives them hope for the future. This happens because we develop a trusting connection. I listen carefully to understand your experience; what you put into words, and what you may not have said. As we both begin to understand your experience, new patterns of thought and then behavior emerge. This is how, together, we create the space for healing, and how new opportunities arise in your life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! I hope to provide a safe environment for my clients to explore their concerns at depths that are comfortable to them. I believe it is important to convey unconditional positive regard for my clients in a judgement free zone, which will allow for personal growth and achievement. Working togethering in a safe environment I hope to aid my clients in increasing their self-awareness, confidence, and overall mental health. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective.

Have you often wondered whether you have a learning problem or mental health condition? Do you always have to give more effort than others on the same tasks? Do you seem to always have problems getting along with others? Or do you already have a diagnosis but need more clarification? Testing can be the first step in receiving accurate treatment, getting the benefits that you need and meeting your true potential. Psychological evaluations can be necessary for trying to get employment, obtaining privileges, determining competency, receiving emotional support/accommodations, taking medical leave from work and much more.

I have focused on developing an expertise in technology addiction; including the internet, cell phones, and video games. I work with male and female clients from early adolescence through adulthood. Additional presenting issues that I often treat include depression, loss, trauma, or anxiety. These may be episodic manifestations of the symptom, or part of a larger personality, autistic, or adjustment disorder. These clients typically are looking for support and the chance to explore their feelings and experiences in a way that enhances their self-understanding and self-efficacy.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

I believe that a thorough initial evaluation of a client's thoughts, attitudes, environments, relationships, and current life situations are key in formulating effective treatments. When there are depression, anxiety, or other challenges, a therapist must fully understand what keeps these feelings and emotions going, and what to do to help with managing difficulties and achieving better adjustment and a better life. However, there are usually no "quick fixes" and living a better and fuller life requires work for both the client and the therapist. I am willing to work for you and with you and expect that you will also do your part.

People seek therapy for wide-ranging and deeply personal reasons. The common theme among these is the desire to improve some aspect of your emotional health. Together, we will work to explore and alleviate those areas of your psychological life which cause distress or limit your happiness. The human condition is complex and rich with meaning at all levels; therefore, my goal is to understand each client as a "whole person," not limiting our work to merely symptom-reduction, but also enhancing self-knowledge and overall wellness to achieve a more balanced and satisfying state of being.

I am a clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist who specializes in private school admissions testing, psychoeducational testing to determine the presence of learning disabilities or ADHD, parent counseling, and therapy with children, adolescents, college students, and adults.

For more than 35 years I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.
