- LMFT
I'm a therapist with empathy and passion to support the individuals through life's meaningful challenges with experiences of working with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns and importantly to provide safe space to process any situations. I would like to emphasize that i am not perfect or have all the answer since I believe as a therapist we should be learning constantly. I help clients navigate self-esteem, helping processes mental health with their disability, anger management, task management, family dynamics, challenging cognitive distortions, and communication patterns that may be holding them back.
My approach centers on fostering self-love, exploring life purpose, guidance, and safe space to process thoughts, and expressing all emotions.
I am christian but I am able to honor diverse perspectives and values, including faith-based worldviews, and I'm committed to creating a respectful, affirming space where you feel truly seen and understood. Iam also able to provide service in Korean. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season or working toward deeper personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.
