Let’s take the first step together on your journey of hope toward a new and empowered you.
Welcome
Growing up in a Korean household with immigrant parents, I was taught to suppress my feelings and deal with my problems alone. Therapy was never an option, and seeking help was discouraged. I felt invisible, unimportant, and learned to carry my burdens in silence.
But during graduate school, my perspective began to shift. I saw the incredible power in having someone truly sit with you through your story. I discovered how healing it could be to feel seen, heard, and loved, especially in the darkest parts of myself. I realized that breaking cycles of pain, trauma, and misunderstanding was possible, even in the midst of guilt, shame, fear, and loneliness.
We are all made for connection. We weren’t meant to face life’s challenges alone.
My mission is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly—a space where your truth matters, where your voice is heard, and where you are free to discover and embrace your authentic self. I believe in the power of connection, and my goal is to walk alongside you as you uncover your true potential, break free from old patterns, and embrace the life you deserve.
Together, let’s begin the journey of hope toward a new you- one filled with self-acceptance, clarity, healing, growth, and transformation.
Come discover the real authentic you.
