Clinical Supervisor
I am a mental health counselor with a MA and EdM in mental health counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a BA in psychology from UConn. I have worked in an outpatient treatment center for substance abuse and addiction and have experience with individual and group therapy settings while there. I currently work with a wide range of clients both in age and in diversity and am always open to working with new populations although I have a special interest in working with the AAPI community.
My Approach
I have an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning that I use different therapy modalities as well employing different evidence-based treatments to optimize the session for the client. I believe that each client is unique and requires an individualized treatment that caters to their specific needs. I believe that unconditional positive regard and believing in my clients are essential and think of therapy as a collaboration of growth. That is because I believe that there is no better expert than the client themselves in informing me of their lives so that I may better assist them.
What To Expect
I was born in the US but have moved back and forth between the US and South Korea, making me what is known as a Third Culture Kid with intimate knowledge of both cultures while still never fully belonging to solely one culture. It alerted me the importance of perspective as I was able to experience living both as a minority and as part of the majority. As such, I realize the importance of culture and being culturally sensitive and therefore place a strong emphasis on being culturally competent.
