Therapy style
I have 9+ years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, and cultural identity. As a second-generation Korean-American, I know first-hand the experience of wrestling with internalized stereotypes and expectations and charting my path. Having lived experience with chronic illness, I began feeling safer in my body with grounding skills and now love teaching clients how to feel more “at home” in their bodies with simple tools. I dig deeper by using therapies to target distressing incidents. I will be a consistent, compassionate, and truthful space so you can fully for your life.
