If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, misunderstood, depressed, anxious- there could be a multitude of reasons why. When life dips into the realm of the unexpected- we some times need to reach out for help. As a supporter of you, I want you to achieve your best sense of self. Through the therapeutic process, together we can achieve your goals and help manage your mental health by examining your thoughts, choices and relationships. I currently practice in Texas & Georgia & North Carolina via Telehealth.

Are you frustrated with or worn down by the relationships in your life? Is the person who used to bring out your best bringing out your worst? My passion is working with couples and families. We all bring a suitcase full of past wounds, maladaptive patterns, and distorted thinking into each relationship. Sometimes these go undiscovered for years. I want to help you explore ways to heal and be more effective in relating to those that you love! I also enjoy working with individuals from a similar perspective. It's astonishing how often relational issues tie in to individual issues such as depression and anxiety.

You are searching for a safe space. You wish to process experiences, emotions, and relationships that you feel stuck in. You hope to receive support navigating conflict, stressors, and trauma. You are here to find a therapist who validates, empathizes, and affirms. I can walk alongside you to help foster healing and growth during this difficult time.

You live the same life, week after week. You can’t really pinpoint what’s wrong. But you can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Or maybe you do know what it is and what you should be doing, but you can’t seem to get any consistent forward momentum. You criticize yourself in the hopes that it will spur some action or you deny your needs and desires. If anything, it makes you feel even more despondent. Time passes, the same week, again and again, and you wonder if things will ever change.

Immediate Availability! Have you ever experienced something that was severely distressing and emotionally overwhelming? Those experiences cause problems in your relationships, work, school, and self-esteem. You no longer feel like you can trust yourself or the world around you. Let me help you get back into the driving seat of your life.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or ADHD? Does the pain of past trauma impact your daily life? You may give too much and struggle to set healthy boundaries with romantic partners, family, and friends, leading to exhaustion and burnout. You may feel overwhelmed by your ever-growing to-do list. I help individuals find relief from anxiety, depression & ADHD, develop healthy relationships that fulfill their deepest needs, and create a career where they truly thrive. You’ll start feeling more confident, productive, and empowered as you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and choices, leading to greater joy and freedom.

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate difficult emotions from a personal and parenting perspective. That's why I enjoy working closely with families to develop strategies for managing challenging behaviors and promoting healthy emotional development in children. Kids can have really BIG feelings, and sometimes it takes big collaboration to help them and you figure it out. Additionally, as someone that has had a lifelong battle with anxiety, I have enjoyed helping people of ALL ages navigate and develop the tools and strategies you need to manage your symptoms and live a more fulfilling life.

Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker, I have been helping your friends and neighbors in the Atlanta area for more than 40 years. My style is empathic; most people find me easy to talk to. I collaborate with you to discover where your growth is blocked and to build a more satisfying life on the foundation of strengths you already have, including any spiritual resources. I draw on social work's person-in-the-environment focus, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally focused therapy, family systems theory, modern psychoanalytic theories, Eastern and 12-step philosophies, to guide our work together.

When you have stress or trauma in your life, it can feel overwhelming and life can unravel. Your children are acting out, your teen is being suspended or involved with law enforcement, or your younger child won't stop misbehaving at school. These are all stressful family situations that can feel overwhelming to anyone. My passion is to bring healing to people who have been through traumatic or stressful experiences.

Navigating through the many challenges that life gives us can feel overwhelming, especially when you feel alone and uncertain about how to cope. I am passionate about helping individuals find their own inner strength to cope with challenges, such as anxiety, chronic illness, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers to navigate their way through school and young adults, to guide them towards finding their own identity in society. I aim to provide a non-judgmental, trustful, and collaborative space for discovery, empowerment, and growth.

Struggling with the effects of trauma can be difficult and challenging. I can help. You can recover and manage your emotions in a healthy way. My goal is to meet clients where they are, equipping and helping them to live their life to their fullest potential.

I'm Jessica and I'm thrilled to welcome you to a safe, calming space where growth and individualized care take center stage. I work with children, teens, and adults, and am passionate about using both effective and creative therapy techniques to empower individuals and families on their unique journeys (yes, this sometimes even includes art, music, and body movement while in my therapy room!).

Have you battled numerous life challenges as a first-generation immigrant, and find yourself grappling with escalating levels of depression and anxiety? Maybe you are a high functioning corporate executive, struck by a mid-life crisis that has left you feeling lost and questioning your life's purpose. Are you an Asian woman confined within the boundaries of an unsatisfying intimate relationship? Or do you bear profound wounds from past relationships, resulting in feelings of emptiness, suffocation, and depression? If any of these scenarios resonate with you, then you are in the right place.

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 over 15 years of experience, primarily in higher education settings. My practice focuses on working with diverse people who are navigating life transitions and demands, particularly those connected to their identity and sense of self. I believe each of us is shaped through our life experiences, both positive and painful. Therapy is an opportunity to explore these experiences, especially if you are feeling unfulfilled or questioning your life’s purpose and meaning. While this process can be difficult, it can also lead to tremendous clarity, insight, and even joy!
