Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Healing from Shame

You may have spent years trying to push through the anxiety, silence your inner critic, or make sense of experiences that still feel painfully present.​ Maybe you've wondered why certain memories, relationships, or situations continue to affect you long after they've ended.

​

Healing is possible.

​​

My hope is to create a space where you don't have to hide the parts of yourself that feel messy, uncertain, or broken. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels safe, honoring both your story and your capacity to heal.

​

Areas I Commonly Help With

​

• Anxiety and persistent overthinking

• Trauma, PTSD, and painful childhood experiences

• Shame, low self-worth, and perfectionism

• Relationship and family conflict

• Academic or professional pressure

• Life transitions and identity concerns

• Intergenerational and cultural expectations

• EMDR

• Depression

• Faith-Integrated Counseling (upon request)

​

My Approach​​​​

I draw from EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and attachment-based approaches to help you process difficult experiences and understand the emotional patterns beneath your symptoms.

Therapy is tailored to your needs, whether that means working through a traumatic memory, quieting a harsh inner critic, or learning new ways to connect with yourself and others.

A Little About Me

As a Korean American, I understand that culture, family, and identity can shape the way we experience ourselves, our relationships, and even our mental health.

​

Growing up with an appreciation for both the strengths and challenges of immigrant and multicultural family dynamics has given me a deeper understanding of experiences like family pressure, perfectionism, people-pleasing, navigating different cultural expectations, and the difficulty of setting boundaries while still honoring the people you love.​ 

Whether these experiences are part of your story or not, my hope is that you'll find therapy to be a place where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported.
