LMFT, 8 years of experience
I am a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist with a profound commitment to holistic and culturally competent therapy. My practice encompasses virtual counseling, interactive workshops, and tailored programs designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance emotional well-being. Drawing on my background in art, I incorporate creative methods into the therapeutic process, which significantly aids in emotional healing and personal growth. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and respecting the diverse cultural backgrounds of my clients. This cultural competence allows me to connect authentically and effectively with individuals, couples, families, and young adults from various cultural contexts. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where clients feel valued and understood. Through my extensive experience, I have developed a versatile and adaptable therapeutic style, enabling me to address a wide range of issues and meet the unique needs of each client. My commitment to confidentiality and sensitivity ensures that clients can trust me with their most personal concerns, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance. Overall, my goal is to empower clients to achieve their fullest potential, fostering growth and well-being across diverse populations. Whether through in-person or virtual sessions, my comprehensive and empathetic approach aims to support clients in their journey toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative, and personalized start to their therapy journey with me. In our first session, we'll focus on understanding your needs and setting a solid foundation for our future work together.
My greatest strengths lie in my cultural competence, holistic and creative approach, versatility, commitment to confidentiality, extensive experience, and multilingual abilities. These strengths enable me to deliver effective, personalized, and empathetic care to a diverse clientele.
I am well-suited to serve diverse clients, including individuals, couples, families, and young adults, both in-person and virtually. My experience and cultural competence make me especially effective with Korean American clients as well as those from various backgrounds. I offer holistic, culturally sensitive therapy using creative methods to enhance healing and emotional well-being.
By integrating CBT into my practice, I help clients develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, leading to improved emotional well-being and a better quality of life.
By integrating Strength-Based Therapy into my practice, I help clients recognize their inherent strengths and use them to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and improve their overall well-being. This approach fosters a sense of empowerment, resilience, and self-efficacy, enabling clients to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
I have extensive experience using Solution-Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) in my clinical practice. I appreciate the model’s emphasis on clients’ strengths, resources, and goals, which aligns well with my collaborative and empowering approach to therapy. In my work, I use SFBT to help clients focus on the changes they want to see in their lives and to recognize the progress they are already making. Rather than spending excessive time analyzing problems, I guide clients to envision meaningful outcomes and take manageable steps toward those goals. This approach often creates a sense of hope and momentum early in the therapeutic process.
