I believe that healing begins with the relationships we cultivate within ourselves and with others.

I work alongside my clients to create a space of curiosity and compassion. From there, we can explore your core beliefs, protective patterns, and develop a deeper relationship with yourself.

My primary focus in our work is attunement — to sense and respond to you through the work, bring curiosity to the present moment, find language for your inner worlds, and create space for the many parts of you. I work in collaboration with clients around issues regarding relationships and partnerships, codependency, identity, past trauma, self-esteem and confidence, and life transitions.

My approach is relational-cultural, integrated with approaches informed by attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR. In other words, I care about your experience spanning from your intergenerational family history to present day and I hold it within the context of your various identities. I’ll help you get to know different parts of yourself and meet them with deep empathy and understanding. I believe in your own unique wisdom and support you in cultivating a fulfilling life.

As a second-generation Korean American therapist, I am particularly attuned to the delicate web of intergenerational, multicultural dynamics that shape our experiences. I attend to dynamics of power and oppression, marginalization and privilege, belonging and intersectionality throughout my work.
