Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology and have been practicing for 5 years. I help individuals struggling with relationship challenges, work-life balance, stress, and burnout. I have life experiences of being an immigrant child, military, and being married with children.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and set goals. We will create a realistic and achievable plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with individuals for the past 5 years, I've developed strategies that have shown a life-changing impact. Your challenges may be overwhelming, and with measurable progress, I'm certain that I can help you achieve your goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals who are striving to be their best selves. By tackling stress and its symptoms, I support you by providing effective tools to make this goal a reality. If you're reading this, I understand that you've been on an uphill battle and have finally reached out for help. Join me today rather than battling it alone, feeling overwhelmed and anxious about your life.

Suji is a warm and comfortable therapist to share my feelings with. I feel like much was accomplished today in organizing the events that occurred in my life that possibly brought me to this point. For this being my very first session, I feel like I made the right decision with Suji. I left the session with a lighter heart and felt like I could take a whole breath of fresh air again. Thank You Suji.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using CBT helps me understand a person's general symptoms. Within this framework, I help people identify problems and strategize solutions to incorporate them into their desired lifestyle.

Attachment-based

I provide attachment-based psychotherapy where I highlight the patterns that influence emotional and relational functioning. Attachment-based therapy explores past relationships to improve present emotional well-being and connections.

Brainspotting

With Brainspotting, I help individuals access and process deeply rooted emotional and traumatic experiences with specific eye positions, or "brainspots." This theory emphasizes the correlation of unresolved trauma experiences. By maintaining focus on these spots while engaging in mindful awareness, individuals can unlock and heal stored emotional pain at a deeper, neurophysiological level.
