Our lives are complex and shaped by the contexts we live in. Stress, relationship challenges, traumatic experiences, or major life transitions can leave us feeling stuck — often despite being capable, thoughtful, and functioning well on the surface.

I approach therapy with compassion and curiosity, and I see the therapeutic relationship as a safe and collaborative space for discovery and growth. If fear, shame, or self-criticism is lurking beneath the surface, I want you to know that you don’t have to be alone with it. Therapy can offer a place to slow down, make sense of old patterns, and begin relating to yourself and others with more clarity. More peace is available. More life is available for you if you are willing to let go of what has not been working.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and informed by attachment, relational-cultural, and systems perspectives. I take a neuro-bio-social (“whole” person) view of human experience, considering both challenges and strengths within the broader context of your life. In our work together, I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you develop greater emotional awareness, flexibility with difficult thoughts and feelings, and a life that feels more full and real.

My approach is informed by psychodynamic and depth-oriented perspectives, including attachment theories and Jungian psychology. I aim to create a space where clients can safely sit with difficult emotions without rushing to fix or suppress them. Through this process, clients can develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and a more integrated sense of self.

Therapy is not about becoming symptom-free, but about becoming more whole and better equipped to live with clarity, compassion, and freedom.

• Identity and self-worth struggles; Questioning who you are, feeling fragmented, fearing abandonment, or getting stuck in painful relational cycles.
• Intense emotional ups and downs; Feeling overwhelmed by strong shifts in mood, energy, or thoughts, or struggling to feel stable over time.
• Ongoing relationship and family conflict; Repeated conflict with parents, partners, or family members; difficulties with boundaries, communication, loyalty, or long-standing family patterns.
• Feeling disconnected from reality or from yourself; Experiences such as feeling confused, suspicious, detached, or unsure what to trust inside or outside yourself.
• The lasting impact of trauma or prolonged stress; Difficulty feeling safe, trusting others, relaxing, or staying present due to past experiences.
• Anxiety, fear, or constant tension; Persistent worry, panic, racing thoughts, physical anxiety, or a sense of always being on alert.
• Depression, emptiness, or loss of motivation; Feeling stuck, numb, hopeless, exhausted, or disconnected from meaning or pleasure.

My body, but geographically I grew up in Malaysia, Western Australia, Northeast and West Coast of US, and Korea.

I believe creative expression is an inevitable part of discovering who you are—whether that shows up through art, writing, movement, or trying something completely new. I see creativity not as a talent, but as a natural process of self-exploration—or maybe that’s just my way of justifying how often I dive into new hobbies and happily fumble my way through them.

To see the humanity in others you must first be willing, and able, to see the humanity within yourself. With this concept in mind, I compare my view of therapy to the act of maintaining a garden. Yes, I will help you learn how to grow fruits, flowers, and vegetables (the beautiful part of the garden). However, it is just as important to learn the proper way to handle the weeds and soil (the “messy” parts) for your garden to truly flourish.

With over a decade of experience, and as a therapist trained/licensed in 3 modalities (marriage and family therapy, art therapy, and psychotherapy), I can utilize multiple guiding frameworks to help individuals reach their full potential. I can function through a systemic lens,

focusing on the interconnected components of an individual’s experience and how their bonds throughout the years have impacted how they form relationships. I can function through an art therapy lens that allows clients to facilitate emotional expression, insight, and healing through the process of art making. I can function through a psychodynamic lens to help clients explore how their subconscious thoughts, feelings, and desires influence their decision making and actions. However, my core tenants stem from a symbolic-experiential approach, identifying emotional suppression as a primary source of individual and family dysfunction.

Life in our current society can come with a lot of pressure to have things figured out, keep moving, and do everything well at the right time. I see therapy as a place where you can slow down, give yourself permission to feel, and approach yourself with curiosity rather than judgment.

My style is warm and collaborative. I draw from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and feminist perspectives, while adapting our work to who you are and what you need.

Having lived across China, the United States, and South Korea, I’m especially drawn to questions of transition, identity, and belonging. Whether you’re navigating a new culture, relationship, career, or chapter of life, you don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes we can simply start by asking the questions together.

• Life transitions and adjustment
• Expatriate, cross-cultural, and international student experiences
• Identity and belonging
• Anxiety, stress, burnout, and perfectionism
• Relationships and family dynamics
• Intimate partner violence
• Academic and career concerns
• Young adult concerns

I am endlessly curious about the different ways people make meaning and find a sense of well-being. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy exploring spirituality and complementary wellness practices, from aromatherapy and meditation to tarot. I also love traveling, watching plays, and reading.

상담을 통해 저는 내담자에게 안전하고 그 순간만큼은 어떠한 비판에서도 자유로운 공간을 제공하고 싶습니다.

저는 내담자와 함께 그들이 삶에 직면한 문제들에 대해서 생각하고 해결하는 방법을 찾을 수 있도록 할 것입니다. 제 상담 접근법은 내담자 한 명 한 명에 집중하는 사람 중심 방법입니다. 모든 내담자들은 각자 모두 다른 상황에 마주해있기 때문에 ‘모든 상황에 적용될 수 있는 해결책’이란 없다고 생각합니다. 또한 이건 결코 긍정정인 정신 건강 웰빙이라고 할 수 없죠. 그렇기에 저는 심리 상담이 인생 경험, 발전적 이야기, 현재 내담자가 직면한 문제들, 그리고 그 이면의 어려움에 대해 함께 마주하고 이해하기 위해 함께 노력하는 과정이라고 믿습니다.

저는 인생의 사건, 건강 변화와 진단받은 질병, 불확실한 것들에 직면하는 일과 다양한 종류의 상실과 슬픔에 적응하는 문제에 관한 다수의 상담 경력이 있습니다.

저는 인지행동치료와 수용 전념 치료법을 활용한 통합 치료 접근법을 사용합니다.

I prefer using a holistic approach based on person-centered therapy but bring in tools from my main choice of Acceptance and Commitment-based Therapy (ACT), as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and more based on your needs.z

— As a person, I am passionate about helping you achieve not only a desirable therapy goal, but also to enrich your life for a much more content long-term outcome.

I am a collector of hobbies, ranging from reading, crochet, and video games, to roller skating and tabletop role-playing games, like Dungeons & Dragons and Call of Cthulhu. So if you ever need a session to just share about your passions and hobbies (we all need a little lightness sometimes), I would be happy to prioritize this too!
