Therapists in Seattle, WA
When daily life becomes overwhelming, we often disconnect from ourselves and others. As a therapist, I believe self-discovery and insight into one’s own process is not only necessary for growth, but the purest form of self compassion. With genuine compassion and support, I aim to provide a space, absent of judgments or assumptions, in which you can tune into your true self.

I offer individual therapy for adults seeking a compassionate and supportive space to heal from anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and relational challenges. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck, to question who you are, to feel the weight of expectations, or to carry pain no one notices. You may be trying to make sense of experiences that shaped you in ways words cannot describe. I’ve been there too. My work is grounded in empathy, love, and faith, honoring your identity, culture, and spiritual beliefs as we work together toward greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and a more grounded, purposeful way of living.

We seek therapy because we have experienced some form of disconnection and we long for re-connection. We desire greater trust with a spouse or partner, understanding and healthier boundaries with family, or renewed courage to be our whole, authentic self. Therapy offers us a chance to take seriously the disconnection we experience, to better understand how we got here and to begin re-connecting with self and others by shifting how we think, feel and behave. My role as your therapist is to provide nonjudgmental support and professional guidance as you begin the difficult and life-giving work of re-connection.

You’re looking for relief and real change. It may appear like you have it all together, but on the inside you feel doubtful, unfulfilled, and stressed. Maybe you’re caught between different cultures or identities, struggling to find your place in the world. You might be carrying the trauma of your past or family and seeing the impacts at work, home, in your body or relationships. Maybe you're deeply worried about the state of the world, grieving, feeling unsafe, and not knowing how to move forward meaningfully. Even in your limited free time, you may find it hard to truly relax and rest, your sense of pleasure and purpose depleted.

Welcome! I am an English-Korean bilingual counselor committed to making therapy accessible, and I accept Medicaid to support inclusive care. I believe seeking therapy is a meaningful act of self-care—a choice to understand your needs, set healthy boundaries, and nurture your growth and well-being. Life transitions, relational stress, and toxic environments can leave you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling with low self-esteem. These experiences may lead to anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. Even when symptoms feel familiar, your story is uniquely yours.

You get in your car after a long day of work, a list of to-dos already running through your mind. Get dinner on the table, prepare for tomorrow's meeting, attempt to read a few pages for this month’s book club. Your head is pounding, shoulders ache, & your body feels like it’s been bracing all day without a chance to exhale. On the outside, you look capable and composed, but inside the pressure keeps building. Your partner may try to ask what's going on, but you’re not sure how to slow down enough to answer. You’re tired of living in constant “go mode,” the racing thoughts, the self doubt, & inability to rest.

I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.

I work with individuals & couples navigating challenges related to ADHD, identity, relationships, and career. Whether you're a young adult figuring out next steps, a parent supporting a struggling child, or someone in a helping profession feeling the weight of burnout—I provide a grounded, compassionate space to explore what’s next.

Parents sometimes face very important questions about their children, including: Why is my child showing difficulties at school? Could they be struggling with dyslexia or dysgraphia? Does my child have ADHD? Why is my daughter having so many social difficulties? Is my son's defiance a normal part of his development? Is my teenager depressed? Are my child's worries normal for someone her age? Does my preschooler have a developmental delay? How can I help my college student?

I start from the idea that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and it’s this humanness that presents us with both unlimited abundance and challenges. Life can be complex and full at any age and most everyone is confronting an element of transition or change daily. Change, as we have all heard at one time or another, is the only constant in life. I believe we are motivated to change and evolve in life, that the Universe is nudging us to live more fully, with greater presence and gratitude. While the process of growth may not be necessarily simple, it is attainable to all of us.
