I am drawn to counseling because it is deeply about connection, companionship, compassion, and contentment. Therapy is a space where your story, values, emotions, and whole self are welcomed and held with care. I feel honored to walk alongside you through difficult moments and to celebrate your healing and growth. There is a unique joy in compassionate connection—when understanding, presence, and care create space for change—and I love supporting you as you reconnect with your inner beauty and begin living more fully into your potential.

A significant part of my work focuses on couples and families. Relationships are where we grow, find delight, and build meaning - yet unresolved patterns, misunderstandings, or unspoken needs can leave relationships feeling strained or disconnected. I enjoy working with couples and families to gently explore what has been limiting connection, strengthen communication, and deepen understanding. Whether you are navigating conflict, life transitions, cultural differences, or multigenerational dynamics, my goal is to help your relationships become freer, more connected, and more life-giving.

I am deeply passionate about working with individuals as they explore who they are and what gives their lives meaning, including the roles of culture, immigration, and spirituality. These parts of life can be powerful sources of strength, beauty, and connection, and they can also bring moments of confusion or tension. As a trilingual therapist offering sessions in English, Mandarin, and Korean, I strive to create a culturally responsive and respectful space where you feel truly seen. I love supporting you in uncovering your inner beauty, honoring your story, and living more freely and fully in ways that feel true to you.

I believe healthy change is like growing a tree from a seed. It begins by creating the right conditions for growth, learning who you are and what you need, and allowing change to unfold with patience and care over time. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. If you feel hesitant, that is okay. I can promise that you will be met with safety, respect, and care as we take this journey together.
