I offer telehealth counseling. Therapy can be a scary thought, but it is a space for you to find yourself again and re-experience life. As a therapist, I am aware of the stigma surrounding mental health, and I know taking the first step to come to therapy can be difficult. I strive to create a warm, inclusive, welcoming environment to allow clients to express themselves openly and honestly without judgment. We walk through the world holding many different experiences that make us unique: race, gender, sexual orientation, and more. I work with my clients to grant themselves permission to feel their feelings and walk forward.

Let's explore what sexual freedom looks like for you. You are good even with all of your sexual desires. Hi, my name is Yub. I am bilingual in Korean and English. Sex and love should be enjoyed with pleasure and explored without judgment. However, the messages we receive throughout life make it harder to be true to our sexuality. You will have a safe space to talk about sexual/intimacy difficulties, access your desires, explore kinks, or discuss open/polyamorous relationships. Some of the techniques I use may include exploring through narrative or role-playing. I'm an active member of LGBTQIA+ and the kink community.

I believe in my abilities to encourage clients towards locating their truest self. I don’t simply approach you as a clinical diagnosis, rather I enjoy helping you figure out WHY you might be depressed, anxious, etc. My tone is pensive, yet positive. I believe that being well is not just about an absence of suffering, but also striving towards a sense of purpos

Accepting New Clients. I’m passionate about helping people find meaning and purpose in their lives. Life presents challenges for all of us, and part of our journey is discovering what those challenges mean and how they shape our path forward. I’ve been practicing as an Independently Licensed Social Worker in the State of Ohio since 2018, and I earned my independent licensure in 2023. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in diverse settings—community-based crisis intervention, hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice.

The weight of being alive, alone, hopeless, or stuck can feel unbearable or suffocating. Often we may feel that we know where we'd like to be in life, but don't know how to get there, or maybe we don't see a future at all. How does one overcome this sense of dread, or make sense from meaninglessness? It is my hope through authentic connections with others, we can discover what it means for each of us to live fully, thoroughly, and well. Conversations begin in an environment in which clients can feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves.

Many of my clients come to me because they feel overwhelmed with life. It might be related to depression, anxiety, grief, anger, stress, and many other issues. I find that my clients often want someone to be able to hear them, support them in their healing, challenge them in new ways and at the core of it all, just want someone to help them be a better version of themselves. For me, this means that each client is an individual on their own journey and sometimes need someone who thinks a little bit differently than other people they have seen before.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
