About: Counseling Areas of Focus

I value nurturing a relational, safe, and brave space to process hard topics with adults, seniors, and teens.

Balance, choices, culture, and respect in my work inclines towards acceptance-commitment, attachment, coping skills education, compassion, somatic/polyvagal, and trauma-informed approaches.

Brainspotting certified. EMDR trained.

AANHPI, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent affirming and friendly.

Aviation/Military service members, Airline, Veterans, and families: US Navy, aviation, and airlines affiliated. Therapy can be a beneficial place to strengthen our inner tethers as we flex, pivot, and transition towards continuously changing destinations across the lifespan.

AANHPI/BIPOC: I identify as a second generation Asian-American with Korean heritage. As a child of immigrants, I have kindred insight into the complex experiences of culturally mixed family generations, patterns of insecure attachment and coping styles, and intergenerational trauma. My clients enjoy not having to spend significant amounts of time in sessions explaining and teaching the provider about their culture. Therapy can be a beneficial place to explore what it can look like to balance honor of collective cultural roles/responsibilities with individualized identity/growth.

Women: Support for perinatal (pregnancy/post-partum), motherhood, miscarriage, child loss, grief, sexuality, mid-life, perimenopause and menopause related mental health.

Family of Origin Trauma: It is not our fault that we had to survive what the adults in our lives could not/did not heal and protect us from. This is a safe space to process wounds across the lifespan and rebuild boundaries, self-compassion, security, and worthiness.

Youth & Families: I have 10 years of experience supporting youth and families who have experienced the complexities of foster care, adoption, blended families, life transitions, and neurodiversity.

I welcome counseling for folks of all backgrounds and affiliations. Please do not hesitate to reach out. :)
