I'm a 2nd generation Korean-American Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma, sexual addictions, and Christian spirituality issues. Not everyone is gravely affected by trauma, but some of us may find that our past experiences have made it increasingly difficult to manage our lives. As an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist (and Consultant in Training), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Brainspotting Professional (BSP), I employ the latest techniques to help people recover from trauma and learn to see life from a more adaptive perspective.

You deserve to feel happy, healthy, and loved! Your relationships can be the best part of your life, helping you to feel joy, appreciation, and fulfillment...or you can find yourself just going through the motions. In our stressful and demanding world, it is all too easy to disconnect from those who are most important to us; poor communication leads to a lack of understanding, and we become demanding, intolerant, and unforgiving of ourselves and of those who matter most. Instead of sharing quality time together, we spend our energy tearing each other down. Gaining awareness, and learning from the past instead of dwelling on it, are some of the first steps toward moving forward. I find nothing more satisfying than helping people to overcome their obstacles so that they can love and feel loved, accept and feel accepted, and realize that they are truly worthy of all that life has to offer. Since 2009, I've helped my clients become better versions of themselves; let's work together and start turning your possibilities into realities!

Each person’s journey into therapy is a unique act of courage. I am a California-licensed marriage and family therapist and saw my first therapy client in 2004. I work with individuals in various stages of life and career transitions, stressed college students, people dealing with LGBT, gender identity, and coming out issues, creative writers and artists, and successful professionals overwhelmed with a busy life. With the right practical psychological tools, it's possible to bring a sense of enjoyment back into the routines of daily life. It's not always easy, but it is possible.

Are you tired, overwhelmed, or constantly feeling on edge? Has the stress and anxiety over the past couple of years left you feeling lost, frustrated, or hopeless? Is your self-esteem struggling, always striving to measure up to a seemingly impossible set of standards? Has your anxiety or depression kept you away from social activities, engaging in things you once loved, or caused relationship struggles with those you love most? Does your life seem to be one big emotional roller coaster? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Life has been difficult to navigate for pretty much everyone (myself included).

I believe in walking with individuals through their life experiences in a non-judgmental manner. I believe people are not a product of life circumstances; therefore, they do not need to live self-punishingly. I believe individuals have the ability to process past traumas and issues, resulting in a more fulfilling life. Gaining personal insight and personal growth is a strength that will manifest and multiply in relationships. Working with people is my passion; I believe your past does not define your future.
