I am a Korean-American social worker, writer, lecturer, and therapist.  I was born in Korea, grew up in Seattle, and live in the Bay Area, where I earned my MSW (Masters in Social Work) from SFSU ( San Francisco State University).  I am a Behavioral Health Clinician and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and have worked in hospitals through the majority of my 30-year career. I have been a lecturer and assistant field director in the SFSU Social Work program, and continue to guest-lecture and give webinars.

I am trained and certified in evidenced-based treatments: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), am a CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional), and an OSW-C (Board Certifed Oncology Social Worker). I draw from therapeutic practices such as ACT (Acceptance Committment  Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) to provide a holistic focus on quality of life. 

I help patients who suffer from anxiety and depression, stress, trauma, chronic medical conditions, and grief and loss. I have also provided therapy for those going through divorce or relationship  stressors. The personalized, collaborative clinical support I offer is dedicated to empowering my clients and improving their lives.
