About My Clients

Therapy with me will integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and any other wisdom lineages that speak to you.

My Background and Approach

I am a second generation Korean American and licensed counseling psychologist whose life mission is to help make healing accessible. I live in the Bay Area, CA on lands kept sacred by the Ohlone peoples, and grew up in Los Angeles on land kept by the Tongva.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As fundamental to our relationship, seeing and empowering your racial, cultural, gender, sexual, generational, and more identities will always be a touchstone of our work.
