About My Clients
I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals processing cultural stressors, body image concerns, and internalized struggles related to race and identity. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, with the goal of helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client’s individual needs. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT, TF-CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and strengths-based interventions. I believe therapy should feel supportive, approachable, and grounded in authenticity while also providing practical tools clients can use in everyday life. I strive to create a safe and affirming space where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions, patterns, and experiences without judgment. My goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect with their sense of self and resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. I value authenticity, cultural awareness, self-compassion, and creating a space where people can show up as themselves without judgment. As someone who is culturally Korean and Panamanian, I value cultural awareness and understand how identity, family dynamics, and lived experiences can shape mental health and self-perception. I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, approachable, affirming, and inclusive for people from all walks of life. Outside of therapy, I enjoy writing, movies, tennis, self-care, and spending time with my pets and loved ones. I’m passionate about helping clients build self-understanding, emotional balance, confidence, and a stronger connection to themselves.
