Therapy Specialties
-
Relational Trauma
Because trauma is deeply personal and lives in both thought and body, my approach is gentle, grounded, and paced around safety. Together, we’ll work to restore trust in yourself and the world around you.
-
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
As a queer therapist, I value the creativity, resilience, and strength within our community. Let’s focus on healing and self-acceptance — celebrating the full spectrum of who you are.

The Korean American Experience
Growing up bicultural can mean holding multiple expectations — achievement, respect, independence — all at once. My approach honors both heritage and individuality, helping you find balance in how you define yourself and connect with others.
Therapy Approaches
I integrate evidence-based approaches to fit your goals and pace in therapy.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals accept their thoughts and emotions rather than fighting or avoiding them. It encourages psychological flexibility by guiding people to align their actions with their values, even in the presence of discomfort. Through acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action, ACT fosters personal growth and well-being.
-
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on finding practical solutions rather than analyzing problems. It helps individuals identify their strengths, build on past successes, and develop strategies to create positive change in a short time. SFT emphasizes future possibilities and encourages clients to take small, actionable steps toward their goals.
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals recover from trauma, particularly PTSD. It focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs related to the traumatic event, helping clients reframe their thoughts and reduce distress. Through guided reflection and cognitive restructuring, CPT fosters healing and emotional resilience.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change. It strengthens motivation by fostering a collaborative, nonjudgmental conversation that enhances a person’s confidence and commitment to making positive life changes. MI emphasizes empathy, active listening, and empowering clients to make their own choices.
