As an Asian American / Korean licensed marriage and family therapist, Brainspotting practitioner, and Pre-Enrich certified and Restoration level II trained clinician working virtually with clients across California and Seattle, Washington, I bring over 8 years of clinical experience with children, couples, and adults who are struggling with connecting with themselves and others. I believe quality relationships are the key to well-being. I care about supporting you to not settle for unsafe and insecure relationships and instead learn to cultivate safe, secure, and deeper relationships with yourself and the people in your life. My hope is that I can provide a safe space for you to heal from your past, show up as your authentic self, and experience hope for your future.
I currently focus my clinical work on children of immigrants, couples, and adults who are experiencing transitions in their lives, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, the harmful impact of family-of-origin traumas, stressors related to racial and ethnic identity, the challenges of spirituality specific to the Asian evangelical experience, and stressors related to childrearing, parenting, and marriage. I have a special interest in working with you who identify as helpers, people pleasers, and parentified kids who are used to taking on an over-responsible role in many relationships in your life, constantly giving without prioritizing your well-being, and experiencing burnout. Many of my clients are professionals in various industries such as healthcare, education, tech, finance, entrepreneurs, and people in leadership positions. I also enjoy working with parents who are struggling with childrearing, marriage, and your identity as a person apart from your work and roles in life. I am passionate about helping couples and families experience deeper emotional connections and learn to communicate their needs and wants more clearly.
As a second-generation Korean American, a cis woman married with two children, Enneagram 2, ENFP, and a person of faith amongst my many identities, I collaborate with my clients to welcome all parts of their identities as a resource in our work together. Having been a client on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, I understand the nuances of immigrant family life, the tensions of navigating difficult relationships with loved ones and balancing the many different roles we have in our lives. I hope to offer a breath of fresh air and break free from patterns that keep you stuck.
