I am a therapist for children, teens, adults, and families.
Throughout my career as a therapist, I have worked in a number of non-public and public school settings, supporting elementary-aged through middle school students around a variety of concerns and struggles. I am particularly skilled in working with anxiety, strained family relationships, social and relationship difficulties, academic concerns, and self-esteem issues. Most recently, I worked as an Interim Elementary School Counselor at the Korea International School in South Korea. Being an Asian American, I am mindful of two cultures being in a graceful balance. I enjoy helping clients in exploring this delicate balance within their community/society/family. Therapy can be an amazing tool that can help one thrive in their own unique way. I also have a special interest in providing therapeutic groups for children and teens, presenting about mental health topics to parents and teachers, and collaborating with other professionals to create a more connected community and work to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
