I’m an associate marriage and family therapist #157277 and Phase 2 Brainspotting practitioner, under the supervision of Hanna Byeon, LMFT #126398. I offer in-person sessions in Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area, as well as virtual therapy throughout California. My clinical experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan in community mental health.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a special education teacher—a role that shaped my sensitivity to neurodiversity, developmental needs, and the power of patience and presence. I often draw on this background in my work, especially when supporting clients with ADHD, Autism, or sensory and emotional regulation challenges.

I help individuals, couples, and families who feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of who they are outside their roles. Many of my clients are the dependable ones—the caretakers—who silently carry resentment, self-doubt, or a quiet sense of loneliness. Whether you’re struggling with boundaries, disconnection in your relationships, or a loss of direction, I offer a space to help you reconnect—with yourself, your people, and what matters most.

I also have a special passion for supporting mothers through the often-overwhelming journey of motherhood - infertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, or stress. If you feel stretched thin, lost in the demands of daily life, or unsure who you are anymore, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a therapist, wife, and mom of three, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to help you reclaim parts of yourself, manage daily stress, and create sustainable ways to care for yourself while still showing up for your family.

As a white therapist, I’m committed to practicing with cultural humility and honoring the unique identities and lived experiences of each client. I continually examine how race, power, and privilege shape our lives and aim to create a space where all clients feel affirmed, respected, and safe to explore their stories.

As an Enneagram 2 (the Helper), my work is deeply relational, emotionally attuned, and grounded in compassion. I’ll meet you where you are—with warmth, respect, and a belief that healing begins when you feel truly seen and supported.
