My approach to therapeutic work as well as coaching relationships is rooted in the belief that challenges and struggles in life and work offer information to us. So, too, do the moments of deep engagement, connection, and satisfaction. Both can be powerful catalysts for defining direction and change – big or small.
I use an integrated approach to therapy, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and various strengths-based methodologies. While these approaches tend to be present and future based, therapy work allows us to focus wherever makes the most sense for you, at any given time. We can take the time to sit with emotion, to explore the past in more depth, and to seek greater understanding and awareness while also developing strategies that are personalized to you.
Coaching, by contrast, stays focused on the present and future, using the past only as information relevant to the goals at hand. There is a heavy focus on actionable strategies and forward momentum for greater personal and professional effectiveness and success. Coaching clients report that they get clearer, move forward faster and achieve more than they would have on their own. This way of working is better suited to individuals who are looking for specific direction/achievement/goal attainment/progress.
Whether my clients are coming from a place of struggle or simply wanting to advance and grow in their lives and work, they are united by their desire for growth, advancement, and living well in whatever stage or place they are in.

After nearly a decade of practicing psychotherapy, I’ve realized that trust is the foundation of healing. I focus on creating a safe, compassionate environment where clients feel secure and confident in our therapeutic work together. Although there are shared human experiences, every individual has a unique story. I strive to be curious and collaborative, recognizing clients as the experts of their own lives and experiences.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I use IFS-informed EMDR therapy to promote rapid, effective healing from life experiences that have negatively impacted the mind and body. I also specialize in working with anxiety and OCD using ERP therapy, and incorporate ACT techniques to foster resilience and fulfillment in the face of life’s challenges. For couples and families, I use Structural Systems Therapy and Gottman techniques to promote harmony and compassion within our closest relationships.

I especially enjoy working with military members and their families, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, providing affirming care for diverse identities, cultural affiliations, and spiritual practices.

I feel privileged to be in the counseling room with my clients who are investing the courage to share their own stories and deepest emotions, and taking steps to make positive changes in their lives.

I have worked with international students, immigrants and locals in the multicultural city of Vancouver, Canada. My clients were children, adolescents, their parents and other adults with a wide variety of personal issues. Along with other ethical standards, I believe understanding and respecting the unique cultural and personal backgrounds of my clients is essential in developing effective therapeutic relationships with them. My own experience of being raised in two distinct cultures has helped increase my awareness of and respect toward individuals who come from different backgrounds, and who might be facing the challenges of adapting to a completely alien culture.

In terms of my therapeutic approach, my goal is to practice integrative counseling, which goes beyond eclectic counseling. I believe the most effective counseling demands openness and the flexibility to modify different strategies on the part of the therapist, which will fit the unique needs and the situation of the individual client. Having said that, the theories that resonate most closely with my therapeutic approach are person-centered and family systems. I value individuals as unique and believe that we are constantly choosing in spite of having embedded influences from our formative years. Some of the interventions I use – depending on the individual situation of the client – include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Existential Therapy and Art Therapy.

Although many clients might perceive my role as that of a ‘healer,’ I would like to think of my clients as “fellow travelers” instead of making distinctions between clients and therapists (Irvin D. Yalom).

I am one of those people who need a certain amount of sleep in order to function well the next day. According to my friends, I become a completely different person after 11pm, and I say things that do not make sense or are difficult to understand.

Whenever I bake healthy cookies or muffins, my family and friends have one bite, and only one bite… not because they don’t taste good, but because they are too healthy!

Our family has two lovely dogs named Cheolsu and Younghee.

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

  • Bachelor of Social Work (University of Calgary)
  • Bachelor of Arts in Human Geography (University of British Columbia)

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.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

  • Licensed Clinical Psychologist (CA, USA)
  • Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology (Fuller School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy)
  • Master of Science in Counseling and Mental Health Services (University of Pennsylvania)
  • Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Religious Studies (Emory University)
I view psychological symptoms not simply as problems to eliminate, but as meaningful signals that invite deeper understanding. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, I help clients explore what their distress may be communicating about their inner world, relationships, and life direction.

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.

The whole is something else than the sum of its parts.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Illinois, USA)
  • Masters of Arts, Marriage and Family Therapy (Wheaton College)
  • Bachelor of Arts, Psychology (University of Minnesota – Twin Cities)
People seek therapy for many different reasons, and I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood. My goal is to meet individuals and couples where they are, creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where they feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their experiences openly.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. While I draw from a variety of evidence-based interventions, my work is primarily grounded in Bowenian Family Systems Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy. Through a Bowenian lens, I help clients recognize how family-of-origin experiences and intergenerational patterns influence current relationships and emotional functioning. Using EFT, I support clients in identifying and expressing emotions in ways that promote deeper connection, security, and understanding within their relationships. Narrative Therapy allows clients to examine the stories they carry about themselves, separate themselves from problems, and build alternative narratives that reflect their strengths, values, and resilience.
I enjoy working with individuals, young adults, and couples navigating relationship concerns, anxiety, and the impact of childhood experiences on present-day functioning. I have a particular interest in working with third culture kids and multicultural individuals exploring identity, belonging, and cross-cultural experiences.
  • Couples Therapy
  • Cultural Adjustment
  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Parent and Child relationships
  • Relationship Issues
  • Teenagers and above
  • Cross cultural issues, transitions (Third-culture issues)
  • South Korea
  • USA

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Pennsylvania, USA/ Alabama, USA)
  • Licensed Professional Counselor (Pennsylvania, USA)

  • Doctor of Couples and Family Therapy (Drexel University)
  • Master of Science, Art Therapy/Counseling (Springfield College)
  • Bachelor of Arts, Psychology (Temple University)

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.

  • Identity Development
  • Resilience Building
  • Family Conflict
  • Marital/Couple Issues

  • Master of Arts, Psychology (University of Edinburgh, UK)

Within the therapy room my aim is to provide a safe and judgement free space where we can explore life’s challenges together, reflecting and problem solving as we go.

I am individualized and person centered in my approach. Every client and every situation is different and there is no “one size fits all” approach to life or to working towards positive mental wellbeing. I believe that therapy is a joint venture whereby we work together to better understand the presenting problems and underlying difficulties in the context of life experiences, developmental history and current circumstances.

I have a wealth of experience working with adjustment, whether that be adjusting to changes of life circumstance, health changes or diagnosis, dealing with uncertainty or grieving for a variety of losses.

I use an integrated therapeutic approach drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

  • Adjustment to life changing illness/diagnosis
  • Adjustment to neurological conditions

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

As a psychologist, I have experience working with a diverse population of clients including young adults, parents, working adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals, presenting with mild to severe clinical concerns such as self-worth and self-confidence issues, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD and BDD.

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. When I work with you, I am a supporter of your progress and setbacks, and also a companion along your journey. I strive for therapy being a safe, open, and supportive place, especially to clients whose mental health, wellbeing, and safety are usually at a higher risk such as the minority races and ethnicities, gender and sexual orientation, and neurodivergent individuals.

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!

Maybe the gift of being human is that we do not give up – even when all hope is lost.

Rather than fixing, healing, or recovery, I prefer to embrace each person’s whole self, enhance their resilience, and sublimate what they are struggling with through multiple forms of art. In this way, visual metaphors are added to their lives. Focusing on the strengths that I find while working with them, I help to motivate them to self-reflect and self-validate and I witness some parts of their therapeutic journey toward an enhanced quality of life. My therapeutic alliance with the client has an effective and meaningful communication method based on empathy and integrity that transcends words. In terms of therapeutic approach, my interest began with Nataly Rogers’ Person-Centered Expressive Art Therapy and has been developing into an integrated and customized form with various evidence-based and solution-focused techniques, including psychodynamic perspectives, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

I join my client’s unique healing journey with integrated holistic approach of art therapy, talk therapy, psychodynamic theory, relational-cultural therapy, client-centered therapy, mindfulness practice, CBT and DBT techniques. Client is the expert of their own journey and I come in with my own experiences, insights, and wisdom in life as well as professional knowledge. I am here to guide you, walk alongside you, and sometimes push you in your healing journey.

I believe every person is an artist in a way, picturing and writing their own stories. In art therapy, there is neither right or wrong ways of making art, nor good or bad artist. I encourage my clients to use art as one of communication methods. Sometimes it’s hard to express oneself in a verbal language and we need some time to understand what’s going on inside us. During the art making process, clients can start to understand themselves, gain new perspectives, gain a sense of mastery and achievement, learn and develop distress tolerance skills, coping skills, organizational skills, and self-soothing skills. In one’s healing journey, art can be used as a safe and strong tool.

  • My least favorite art medium is watercolor paints because it’s too watery and hard to control for me. Still, I often challenge myself to use watercolor in self-care. It helps to accept who I am, my vulnerability, weakness, frustration, and to practice letting things go.
We do not need magic to change the world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.
