Pain is inevitable and suffering is optional. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, even if you believe your mental-health struggles are personal flaws. They’re really not! Feelings of emptiness, disconnection, apathy, or brokenness rarely arise in a vacuum. As a first-generation Korean psychologist, I’ve learned to understand psychological pain in a larger context across generations, cultures, and social structures. Our pain is rooted in the systems we live in and the survival strategies that once kept us safe. Therapy is a space to understand yourself in context and to practice reclaiming agency over your inner world.

Self-Care is not selfish. It is an essential part of progress and a growth mindset. Sometimes getting ‘unstuck’ calls for the help of someone trusted and experienced. I needed to reach out for help after surviving a severe car fire in 1981. I wanted to offer the same type of compassion and collaboration to help others. Life can be difficult and complex. We all could use help along the way to better manage our hassles, hardships, or heartaches. In our work together, I will start by trying to meet you where you are, to speak your emotional language, so we can craft a mutually-agreeable therapy plan.

We all develop patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or burdened by self-criticism and past pain.

We each have the ability to adapt, overcome adversity, feel joy and sorrow, love, and reach our highest potential. Stressful life events, trauma, loss, conflicts, illness, and transitions can overwhelm our ability to cope. Healing becomes blocked. We become stuck. We protect and defend ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the traumatic wound is triggered, we experience intense emotion and distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover and remove the blocks to healing, transforming pain and loss into meaning, awareness, and choice.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
