Struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or turning to substances to cope? You’re not alone. With constant crises—climate change, political divisions, and uncertainty on a global scale—it’s easy to feel overwhelm. Without a sense of purpose and values, life can feel unmoored. I have been helping young professionals find balance between too much and not enough with direct, solution-oriented approach for those searching for connection, clarity and meaning.
As a Korean American immigrant, I understand firsthand the struggle of balancing parental values and expectations with the need for personal agency and independence. My expertise lies in generational and immigration trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I was also a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor in NY.
As a clinician with 15 years of experience as a social worker and psychotherapist in NYC, my approach is rooted in empathy and understanding of the human experience. I focus on both external behaviors and the internal narratives we hold, approaching them with curiosity and compassion. Rather than asking what’s wrong with us, I ask what happened to us.
