I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and others seeking deep, enduring change. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, we explore the underlying patterns, relational dynamics, and lived experiences shaping your emotional world. My approach is affirming, insight-oriented, and grounded in advanced psychoanalytic training.

Look beyond immediate symptoms to understand the roots of your struggles. We'll create space for all parts of your experience, process trauma, explore identity, strengthen self-understanding, and build a path toward greater authenticity, connection, and emotional freedom.

Warm, insightful, and deeply affirming. They appreciate my ability to balance compassion with honest exploration, helping them feel safe enough to examine difficult experiences while gaining clarity, self-acceptance, and a stronger sense of who they are.

I specialize in working with people who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves—particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals, trauma survivors, and high-functioning adults who sense there is more beneath the surface than symptoms alone can explain.

I became a therapist through my own experience of healing. Therapy helped me accept and embrace my queer identity, and it showed me how transformative it can be to have someone walk alongside you during life's most difficult moments. I am especially drawn to supporting people who have felt alone, unseen, or left to carry too much on their own.

I am an LCSW-S with advanced psychoanalytic training—including a psychoanalytic fellowship and candidacy as a fifth-year psychoanalytic scholar. I bring a high level of clinical depth and specialization to my work. I also launched the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma.
