About us

I am an experienced educator and a passionate counsellor who believes in getting to know my clients and offering individualized support that best serves their needs with compassion and care. My counselling approach is body focused and Person-centered. My experience and education in counselling have equipped me with a wide variety of skills, including Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP™) of breath work, relaxation postures, music, and mindfulness, as well as a specialization in Art Therapy. I believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment for the clients to support their healing journey at their own pace.  I continue to explore and heal in my journey because I can only go as far as I have gone in my healing process to support my clients at a deeper level. 

Working from a strength-based approach and the creative arts, I help people heal and actualize a rich and meaningful life. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship/family issues, acculturation issues and self-growth. As an Asian woman in Canada, I pay attention to the intersectionalities within individuals, helping them understand the complexities of their issues and cultivating autonomy to face challenges in the system.
Fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

I have a Masters of Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy from Adler University. Before becoming a counsellor and art therapist, I explored theatre and art throughout my undergraduate career and my Bachelor’s in Psychological Sciences. Growing up as a Queer Person of Color, I can better understand some aspects of the lived experience of these communities. I have also previously worked with children, adults, older adults, and people struggling with substance use.

While I practice from a philosophical and resilience-based approach, I like to use humor and metaphors to help clients understand themselves by finding new meaning in their lives. In an existentialist therapy approach, I focus on the client and their views on life and the world around them. I hope to aid people in the betterment of their mental health through empathy and understanding.
Fluent in English, and understands Korean.

As a compassionate listener, I am here to offer you my support with professionalism and warmth. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel valued and heard. My approach to therapy is empathetic and humble, and I strive to help you achieve your goals. I am a Korean Canadian who has recently moved to Korea and works in my private practice with adults for trauma, self-image, self-compassion, and relationship issues, and immigrant women and children for acculturative stress and relationship matters. I offer telehealth services with Iceberg Counselling Inc.

During our sessions, we will discuss our objectives. I may use methods such as counseling and art therapy. These may involve drawing, conversation, or breathing exercises. I have completed an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training with Mindful Leader. I believe that everyone is unique in their goals, experiences, and needs. Therefore, I take an integrative approach to therapy and work closely with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your situation.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable experience, so I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can explore therapeutic techniques and modalities that best fit your needs and help you achieve your goals.

I (she/her) am a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose work is grounded in the belief that we are shaped by our experiences, but not defined by them. I work collaboratively with adults and teens who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or simply wanting something to shift. My approach draws from Narrative Therapy, EMDR, parts work, somatic and attachment-based approaches, and is informed by a commitment to social justice and LGBTQIA2S+ affirmation.

I see therapy as a place to slow down and become curious about what has shaped us, how those experiences continue to show up in our lives and relationships, and what might be possible beyond the patterns that no longer serve us. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may include EMDR for processing difficult or traumatic experiences, parts work for developing a different relationship with inner conflicts and protective patterns, and somatic and attachment-based approaches for exploring how experiences are held in the body and in our relationships.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, identity and self-worth, and life transitions. I especially value working collaboratively with clients to understand the meaning they have made of their experiences and to reconnect with their own values, strengths, hopes, and possibilities.

Before entering the counselling field, I spent more than 20 years teaching yoga locally and internationally. This experience continues to shape my appreciation for embodied awareness and the ways our experiences live in both body and mind.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Certificate in Somatic Attachment Therapy. My clinical training includes Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), and parts work. My academic background also includes studies in Comparative Religion and Peace & Conflict Studies, reflecting my longstanding interest in meaning-making, human experience, and the broader cultural and relational contexts in which our lives unfold.

I believe we are creative beings with an innate capacity for healing, growth, and connection. My hope is to offer a space where you feel met with curiosity, care, and respect—a place where we can make room for difficult experiences while also opening up new understandings, possibilities, and ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.
