About me

I am very pleased to meet you. Before coming here and seeing my profile, you may have struggled alone for a long time, unable to easily share your personal issues with anyone, or perhaps you did share, but felt misunderstood or not fully supported. In a safe and trustworthy environment, I am ready to listen to your concerns or issues with empathy, without any bias or judgment. With my expertise, I am confident in working together with you to resolve your worries or challenges. I will listen to your unique history and problems with curiosity and respect, and I will do my utmost as a counselor in collaboration with you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

You will be encouraged to accept yourself and your symptoms through non-judgmental lens. It is nothing to be ashamed of if you are dealing with a mental health condition, issue, or any other significant concern. As we go through life, these challenges can arise for anyone, and it is entirely natural. Always take pride in yourself and value who you are. I wish you a happy and healthy day today.

I have broad resources and therapy methods to utilize. My warm regard and positively embracing attitude will help us go and collaborate together.

Dr. Kim is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. He is able to word a patient’s thoughts better than the patient can which shows truly what an amazing listener he is. Combines warmth with actionable suggestions with full-span techniques from CBT to grief counseling. Warm, authentic, empowering, solutions oriented and holistic.
