Erin H Kim | AMFT

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #160595 | EMDR-Trained Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Healing from Shame

You've spent years trying to push through the anxiety, quiet the inner critic, or make sense of experiences that still feel painfully present. Maybe you've wondered why certain memories, relationships, or situations keep affecting you long after they've ended.

Healing is possible — and you don't have to hide the parts of yourself that feel messy, uncertain, or broken to get there. We'll move at a pace that honors 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 underneath your symptoms — whether that means working through a specific memory, quieting a harsh inner critic, or learning new ways to connect with yourself and others.

A Little About Me

AAs a Korean American, I understand how culture, family, and identity shape the way we experience ourselves and our relationships. Growing up with both the strengths and the challenges of immigrant, multicultural family dynamics gave me a firsthand understanding of family pressure, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the difficulty of setting boundaries while still honoring the people you love. Whether or not that's part of your story, my hope is that therapy becomes a place you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported.
