As an Asian American licensed marriage and family therapist and Brainspotting practitioner with clients in-person in Highland Park and Pasadena, California, as well as virtually across California, my clinical experiences over the last 6 years include working with a diverse clientele of children, teens, couples, college students, families, and adults in school settings, community mental health, and private practice. 

I currently work with children and teens (ages 8-18), couples, college students, and adults, supporting those of you navigating major life transitions, anxiety, depression, body image issues, self-esteem difficulties, intergenerational family dynamics, and the Asian-American experience. Many of my clients are high-achieving kids, neurodivergent teens (e.g. Autism, ADHD, sensory regulation challenges), stressed out college students, and professionals in various industries such as entertainment and the arts, finance, engineering, marketing, and healthcare.

As a Southern California native and Korean-American, I identify as a second-generation immigrant child and deeply understand the various nuances of culture that impact your perspective on life and the ways you cope throughout different seasons. When you are in the trenches of life, it can feel isolating. I have seen the power of therapy in my own life, and I hope to offer the power of a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients.

Whenever possible, I incorporate my experiences from my previous career in education within the private sector in both my work with children, parents, and adults. I recognize the importance of tending to the unmet needs of our inner child with gentleness and care. I integrate my understanding of child development alongside the various developmental stages that adults navigate. My clients often provide me feedback that my approach has helped them make sense of themselves, their histories, and the work they need to invest in themselves moving forward.
