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.

After spending over a decade in New York City, I’m now a digital nomad between the U.S. and Europe. The experience of finding groundedness while adapting to constant change has enriched my ability to work with those navigating the amorphous nature of identity, life transitions, and existential questions.
