I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida as well as a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what they can do to gain a sense of control back in their life. I became a psychotherapist because I've experienced the need to have someone who can show me what I could not see because they have a genuine interest in my well-being and potential. Together we will find the root of your behavioral/emotional difficulties from scientific, psychological, and spiritual perspectives. You will uncover resources that can only be found in you to overcome the difficulties. Eventually, striving for wholeness will be the life journey that you will gladly take on outside of a therapy session.
Our first session would be structured around securing basic but necessary information about you, your history, and the current issues you want to work on through therapy. However, just like any other first meeting, I'll do my best to introduce myself, my practice, and my approach in treatment so that you're informed in what to expect in therapy with me. Most importantly, I hope my clients would feel comfortable to be open enough by knowing they have a choice in pacing how the therapy is going to proceed, deciding how much they share and what to share especially in the first session.
As a certified EMDR therapist, EMDR is my primary modality in the treatment. My approach to using EMDR revolves around believing in a person's innate ability to self-heal given proper guidance, insights, tools, and unwavering support. EMDR is going to help you retrain your body's response to your triggers, increase insights about your difficulties and what you need to move forward. You will take an active role in reprocessing unprocessed memories that negatively affect your present life. I am going to be an ever-present-ears to hear you out, guiding you through the process of getting unstuck from your past adaptively while accompanying you as a witness and support on your healing journey.
My primary focus is helping people move beyond past trauma and adverse life experiences that leave them feeling stuck in a negative cycle, and supporting them as they take the time to discover who they are beyond external circumstances or current mental health challenges. Clients who approach therapy with curiosity, sincerity, and an open mind often benefit the most and begin to uncover potential that may have been lying dormant in them :)
Other specialties
I identify as
EMDR
EMDR is designed to desensitize a person from unwanted upsetting/distressing memory or emotional/physical reactions and change maladaptive beliefs to adaptive beliefs while engaging in the introspection.
Jungian
Jungian approach allows a person tap into the deeper sense of self where a person can gain more insight on one's emotional/behavioral difficulties and find inner resources.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is becoming more intentional on placing one's attention by increasing self-awareness and acceptance of one's internal experiences. This approach will increase one's capacity to deal with unwanted/distressing internal experiences including emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations and gain sense of centeredness as by-products.
Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal theory will increase knowledge on our biological makeup in emotion regulation and would allow a person to be more equipped in retraining body's response in emotion regulation.

Seon is truly a GEM!!! Her ability to get you to where you need to go is a talent! I was unsure on what to expect starting EMDR therapy (I had heard so many good things about it), especially virtually, and she has made the process so incredible! I have reached conclusions and perspectives about my life currently and in my childhood that I didn't expect to and I am so happy to have them realized! If you want to make actual and helpful progress in your life, choose Seon and EMDR! ㅤ♡

Seon is the best therapist I've ever had. Always takes time to listen to me, and more than anything, she has an amazing memory which surprises me every time and makes me feel heard and truly cared for.
