Registered Associate MFT #Pending / working under supervisioN

I’m an Asian-American associate marriage and family therapist, Restoration Therapy Level 2 trained therapist, certified Brainspotting Level 1 practitioner, and certified Prepare and Enrich counselor, practicing under the supervision of Elizabeth Rhee, LMFT (#122155). I bring warmth, presence, and attunement to the therapy room, with a steadfast confidence that together we will find clarity that leads to meaningful change for you. I offer in-person sessions in Pasadena and Koreatown, and I am available to meet with you virtually throughout California. 

My clinical experience includes working with individuals, couples, and groups from 8 to 80 years old with diverse backgrounds. Before training and working as a therapist, I was a proud and devoted special educator for ten years. This gives me a strong developmental lens on your story, with an appreciation for the relational and cultural systems in your context. I am grateful to bring to the therapy room abundant experience with neurodiversity, ADHD, autism spectrum characteristics, and issues of emotional and sensory regulation in adults and children. This is a great place to get guidance and develop greater understanding for how these elements are a part of the whole family and a vibrant life. 

As a daughter of Chinese/Taiwanese immigrants who has lived in diverse social settings, I have a special interest in working with those whose life experiences may not fit neatly into boxes and those who navigate cross-cultural spaces. My clients have shared feeling known and empowered as we explored together the challenging complexity in their lives. I also focus on working with families, parents/children, couples, friends, and siblings, with the recognition that every relationship contains a universe of emotional, practical, and interpersonal dynamics. 

Working with others towards the health of relationships is a deeply-held calling for me. I have a wholehearted belief in each person’s ability to understand and change the patterns in their life, and I am eager to engage in this work with you.
