What if i told you, you didn't have to re-live your trauma, to heal from it? Remembering is not recovering. The only thing worse than living through a traumatic event, are the after affects that impact the present day. These affects may include mood instability, flashbacks, depression, irritability, anxiety, hyper-vigilance, isolation, destructive behaviors, and more. Past trauma has the ability to change our worldview in the present, contributing to an ongoing sense of danger, fear, hopelessness, and shame. That's why, as a therapist, I use an array of here-and-now techniques to assist clients in re-establishing a sense of safety.

길은 길로 연결되어 있습니다. 저는 어린시절 경험한, 복합외상에서 벗어나기 위해 상담공부를 시작했고, 상담사의 길을 선택하였습니다. 저의 미션은 한국에 살고 있는 한국인뿐만 아니라 전 세계에 흩어져 살고있는 디아스포라의 한국인을 대상으로, 운디드 힐러로서, 깨어지고, 무너져 가는 가정을 일으켜 세워, 행복하고 기쁜, 개인과 부부로 살아가도록 돕는 일입니다. 사람은 누구나 변화하고, 자신의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있습니다. 따라서 내담자가 긍정적인 삶의 변화를 추구해 나가도록 최선을 다해 도울 것입니다. 내담자와 치료적 동맹관계를 맺고 함께 동반 성장해 나갈 것입니다. 이 과정을 통해 보다 행복한 삶을 영위해 가도록 도울 것입니다. 한 사람과의 관계를 소중히 생각합니다. 길에서 만난 사람들과 만들어 갈 아름다운 세상을 기대합니다. 감사합니다.

The constant worry, the racing thoughts, the tightness in your chest. The sadness, the emptiness, the loss of interest. The struggle to get out of bed, to face the day, to cope with the challenges. You feel alone, hopeless, and stuck. You wonder if things will ever get better. You are not alone. It takes great courage to acknowledge that you're struggling with anxiety or depression. I want you to know that I am here to support you as you work through these issues and make positive life changes. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change.

Some clients are encouraged or persuaded to engage in psychological services and others are fully self referred. I have come to learn that regardless of the avenue for initiating services and the reason for referral, most clients can have a positive therapeutic experience and achieve some measure of success, change or resolution to general or specific areas of concern or mutually defined treatment goals. My experiences have provided me with an appreciaition for clients' needs at various stages of life and given me the opportunity to learn to work effectively with clients with a wide range of functioning, types of problems and phases of life.

Everyone experiences conflict in their lives. The question is how the conflict is resolved. Together we can find solutions that work for you.
