I am an Asian American/BIPOC registered associate marriage and family therapist currently working under the supervision of Elizabeth Rhee, LMFT #122155. As a Restoration Level II and Brainspotting Phase 2 clinician, I offer in-person sessions in Highland Park and Pasadena, as well as virtual sessions across California. My transition into the mental health field marks a meaningful second chapter in my career, building on over a decade of experience in elementary education both in the U.S. and internationally. Through my therapeutic work, I have had the privilege of supporting diverse children, adolescents, couples, and adults.

I walk alongside clients navigating major life transitions, high-pressure careers, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem challenges, trauma, intergenerational family dynamics, relationship difficulties, and the complexities of the Asian American experience. My background as an elementary school teacher informs my work, as I recognize that we all carry the influences of our childhoods. I understand the importance of tending to your inner child’s unmet needs with compassion and care. By integrating my knowledge of child development with the transitions we encounter as adults, I help clients make sense of their experiences and deepen their self-understanding.

As a native Californian and second-generation Korean American, I have a deep appreciation for the cultural nuances that shape how we see the world and navigate life’s challenges. Difficult times can feel isolating, but I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can heal and live from a more integrated place.
