It’s important that you feel comfortable seeking help and knowing that I can help.

A little more about me

Though made in the Republic of Korea, Massachusetts is home away from home where my spouse and I raise our young children. I nearly pursued a PhD in Sociology or Social Psychology after obtaining a couple of Masters degrees in Divinity and Counseling.

I’m also actively involved in my community as I work as on-call crisis clinician at my local ER.

My background and training

Growing up in what can be commonly described as a "traditional" culture as a cisgender male, I've been forced to strengthen my emotional muscles. Being in “need” of others was considered weakness. Let alone feeling vulnerable.

Because of my own journey, I know how vital it is to find a safe space.

Before founding my own private practice, I’ve worked in mainly hospital-settings in the past as a psychotherapist. That includes a psych hospital, Partial Hospitalization Program, and Emergency Room. I’ve had a front-row seat treating trauma that’s either 1) too complex, 2) or treated folks whose mental energy tank ran out of its fuel, and 3) folks who, ironically and understandably, have found their identity development mirror their self-deteriorating trauma history.

My clients are a profound source of inspiration. So I’ve made my life’s task to be committing to my clients’ health journey.
