It's hard to admit to yourself the life you are living just doesn't seem like enough anymore. Waking up, you stare into the mirror, and can't help but judge the person looking back. You're realizing that you don't understand yourself, causing the uncertainty of life to settle in. The pain, fear, and struggles from the past have stopped you from living a fully authentic life. You know you're slowly losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and you are stuck on this roller coaster just trying to get off.

While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. All of the therapists here believe that what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. You'll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique or two that you can go home and start using immediately. All eight of our therapists are highly trained, personable, and ready to give you the stills and techniques you need.

Marriage or couples counseling is my specialty. My sole purpose is to help couples stay together. I help people create a strong foundation of trust, respect and commitment in their relationships. Clients will learn how to better express their love for each other. Couples will improve their communication skills with rational decision making, as opposed to destructive fighting. Please go to my website, workingatit.net, to see a full description of my practice. Treatment averages between 10 to 20 sessions over 6 months. When both individuals apply themselves, the therapy is very successful.

For many reasons asking for help can be hard. But finally being in a safe and non-judgmental place, receiving validation, being listened to and understood is what you deserve and can have. I offer this support and together we will explore areas of concern at your pace in order to identify ways to manage and resolve issues. You do not need struggle alone. I work with individuals as well as partners so that the negative cycles end and overwhelming stress is lightened. There are understandable reasons for all your distress, but anxiety, depression, toxic patterns and behaviors do not have to define you or the way you live.

I have enjoyed providing psychotherapy for over twenty years. I currently maintain a private practice in Peachtree Corners/Norcross, Georgia where I work with individuals, couples, and families in both Korean and English languages. I offer both short and long-term psychotherapy depending on client need. Some people find just a few sessions helpful to resolve an issue while others choose to explore long-standing patterns and struggles over a more extended period of time.

I am a licensed psychologist with a private practice. I specialize in treating adults, either individually or as couples, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. I offer long-term or brief interventions, depending on the client's needs. I use an eclectic approach, drawing upon cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and acceptance and commitment therapies.
