I see myself as an editor asked to help review and rewrite the narrative of a client's life. People often find themselves stuck or unhappy or confused by their own choices and their consequences. In an engaged, friendly and respectfully manner I work with a person to understand how they got to the place they are unhappy with. We then try to re-imagine their narrative, introduce new perspectives, or simply find a greater acceptance of those choices already made.

My relational, psychodynamic, and narrative approach starts with providing you with a safe and emboldening space.
Feeling spread thin? Are your boundaries not set and respected? Intrusive, overwhelming thoughts won’t leave you alone? Stuck in a mental space vacuum where it’s hard to get yourself grounded and in control? Insecure in the way you present yourself in certain spaces? Find yourself reacting and regretting rather than mindfully responding? My curiosity drives my sessions to hear and understand your unique story in which you are the narrator, main character, and expert. I work with various clients, including children, teens, college students, those in midst of transitions, adults, and immigrants. Sessions in Korean are also available!

My orientation to psychotherapy is eclectic drawing heavily on family systems and narrative models which means that I recognize that problems affect not only individuals, but also the social systems the person participates in.
I use a short term, practical psychotherapy approach. I believe that all human beings have problems at various points in their lives and that these problems can best be dealt with in an objective, honest, and caring climate. Labeling, stigmatizing and categorizing people often makes problems worse. Objective, and yet personal, individualized treatment approaches are always taken. While the goal of therapy is to minimize, if not eliminate, the problems people struggle against, it is also important to recognize, acknowledge, and enhance people's talents, abilities, and strengths. Client confidentiality is rigorously maintained at all times.

Let’s work together to rewrite your narrative so you can find a place of peace and self acceptance.
My clients include women of color from diverse backgrounds who are struggling with self love, self esteem, colorism, hair stigma, cultural adjustment, religious identity, and intersectionality. Women of color are hit the hardest with race-related stress, and yet they seldom have the proper resources or tools to heal. In my practice, I help clients disrupt the intergenerational trauma that continues impacting them.

My clinical approach is informed by relational, narrative, feminist, and psychodynamic theories.
Therapy is like any other relationship - it's important to find someone whose values and approach resonate with you. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. I see my role as that of a non-judgemental companion, someone who holds space and reflects you back to you. I am here to bear witness to your journey without judgment. My hope is to support you in exploring how the stories we are told, and tell ourselves, inform our worldview - our sense of self, relationships, and even our mood.
