The issues that arise in our lives can often feel like they are too big for us to handle. We can feel confused, beaten down, or overwhelmed. Life circumstances can lead us to a place where we feel alone and hurting. The most important thing to know when we find ourselves in these places is that you are not alone. Challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, and chronic stress can leave us all feeling lost. But you do not have to stay lost. You can begin your journey towards the life that you want for yourself and you don't have to go on that journey alone.

Together we work to increase each couple’s “ relationship toolbox” so clients have more helpful tools at their disposal to constructively work through conflict.
I specialize in working with couples and teens/adults clients. I bring a direct yet caring approach to my solutions focused work with clients. I focus on providing a nonjudgmental space for them to talk about their challenges and support clients in finding their own solutions. I work with individual adults dealing with a myriad of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, major life transitions, self-esteem, relationship issues, and grief. In our work together, I help my clients in identifying patterns in their lives that are causing pain, frustration, and loss of identity and work to build authentic confidence.

I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental psychotherapy through a safe and collaborative relationship.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step in seeking treatment. I have extensive experience in guiding my clients through change and growth. Depression and anxiety occur across all ethnic groups and walks of life, however these challenges are very responsive to psychotherapy. Individuals with a history of abuse or other adverse childhood experiences are more likely to need assistance in adulthood. I work with clients to decrease symptoms and create improved emotional health, allowing them to move forward with their relationships and life goals.

My work with couples is focused on restoring emotional connection in your relationship through a model of Emotion Focused Therapy.
Looking for someone to help you reconnect with your partner? I work with couples, young and old, that are experiencing a disconnect in the way they relate to one another. Your relationship might feel cold and emotionally distant. Unable to repair wounds when fighting, and feel misunderstood and unsafe to share. You’d love to feel closer but you're not sure how. You just know it can’t keep going on the same.

In therapy, we will engage in an honest and empathic relationship in which you can share everything that you are thinking about, feeling, and going through.
Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, obsessions, or other symptoms but are uncertain as to why you continue to struggle? Do you find yourself excited by a new relationship or work situation only to find yourself repeating similar patterns again? Maybe the stresses of daily living are getting to you and need better ways of coping, but are unsure where to start. Or perhaps you are generally dissatisfied with your life, but unsure about what in particular is getting to you.

I am accepting new individuals and couples on a case-by-case basis so please get in touch.
It can be scary searching for a therapist, especially when life as you know it has been turned upside down. Working with me in individual therapy can help you better cope with stress, anxiety, depression, as well as begin to unwind painful repeating relationship patterns. Working together with me in couples therapy can provide you and your partner relief from old patterns and fights that seem stuck. Looking at the ways we were programmed to connect in childhood, I can help you both develop new ways to communicate and grow as a couple.

As the youngest – and only US-born and raised – daughter of two Korean immigrants, I have a unique perspective on multicultural identity development. I am passionate about exploring and affirming all facets of identity, and integrating them in a way that is authentic and fulfilling. My therapy style is liberation-based, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and multidisciplinary (e.g., expressive arts). I am a firm believer that we are not meant to go through life alone and that we thrive in community. We may be a good fit to work together if you are interested in fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Please know you are not alone in the emotions, experiences, and pain that comes with life. Have you ever experienced connection but somehow fell deep into isolation? Experienced more pain than you thought you could handle? How about grief or sorrow? Chances are, you answered yes - because you’re human! Sometimes, it is difficult to think about how much effort it would take for us to turn things around, leading to an overwhelming sense of helplessness and lack of direction. Common symptoms like depression, excessive worry, addiction, or lack of motivation slowly envelop us and it is hard to know where to turn.

Sometimes, our mind can stop us from taking necessary steps in our day to day lives or in making big decisions. You might find yourselves feeling really stuck or you might notice difficulty sleeping or excess tension in your body. You might find that your thoughts go back to the same worry over and over again while you’re trying to enjoy time with friends, family, or even watching TV. You’re not alone in this feeling; I am here to help. Asking for help can be challenging, and there may be a myriad of reasons that keep us from reaching out. Some of us fear stigma, while others believe that needing support is a sign of weakness.

Being a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for many years, I have enjoyed a type of therapy that allows an individual to find freedom through acceptance of their issues rather than running from the reality of their existence. As we come to understand our past and how it has shaped us, we can then begin the practice of choosing differently for ourselves in the present and for our future. This search is a sacred process where therapist and client join together, rather than a therapy done 'to' you as a client. I would like to join in that process with you!

You may feel lost and wonder why you fall into the same pattern. The narratives you tell yourself can have a profound impact on the way you see yourself. Maybe you are tired of the inner critic in your head who has been telling you.
