My specialty is in working with couples and families in all phases of life although I also work with individuals with depression, anxiety, anger management challenges, emotion regulation difficulties or trauma.
I provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals, couples and families can explore ways in which they are stuck and help them find a more fulfilling life. Whether I see an individual or an entire family, I use a relational, solution-focused and collaborative approach that respects client strengths and experience to help them. Being a Korean-American with first hand experience living in different countries, I bring a culturally-sensitive and non-judgmental approach to help clients increase insight, identify patterns that no longer are useful and develop a path forward that will bring more fulfillment.

I have always gained great satisfaction from helping people feel happier and in learning more effective ways to achieve more fulfilling lives. Those clients who are eager and open to learning more about themselves in order to achieve these goals benefit most from my approach as a therapist. I often focus, therefore, on insight, meaning, and symbols (including dream interpretation)in order to help clients establish a more positive and accepting perspective of themselves and others. In therapy, I work with obstacles against achieving these goals that include anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and interpersonal and relationship issues.

You are not alone - many people secretly struggle with trauma, anxiety, anger, depression, compulsions and relationship problems and only get partial relief from traditional 45-minute talk therapy and medication.
Frustrated with traditional 45-minutes-a-week talk therapy? Tired of therapists who just ask "What do you want to talk about today?" - I specialize in 3-HOUR SESSIONS helping you achieve up to 3 month's worth of therapy in each session. 3-HOUR SESSIONS give you enough time to get to the root and core, break through emotional walls and leave each session with less baggage than you came in with.

First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to click that "find a therapist" button. Seeking therapy typically isn't a milestone we hope to reach or a bucket-list item. For many of us, the option arises from pain we can no longer tolerate, feeling powerless to change. Loneliness, fear, anxiety, shame, anger, despair, hopelessness, helplessness- these are only some of the many emotional experiences we encounter simply by being human. I imagine you've asked yourself "how did I get here?" And here you are. You are HERE, exactly where you need to be, and I greatly respect the choice you made to show up to and for YOU.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
