About Me
Welcome!
Like you, I have been through storms. Some of them came from transitions in vocation, crises of faith and calling, and others from sudden, unexpected losses. In such seasons, I was blessed to receive the shelter and grace that counseling and spiritual direction provided. The healing and hope I gained through the gifted care of my counselors and spiritual directors has empowered and inspired me to be able to offer it to you.
About My Practice
Since then, I have worked with couples and individuals in many different stages of life and have been privileged to witness growth, insight and healing in even the most conflicted of couples and individuals. I've found that most people simply need a safe space to take a closer look at the roots of their burnout, and what’s keeping them stuck in hurtful patterns, to begin experiencing relief and transformation. I currently specialize in providing that space for Asian Americans, Christians, high achievers/performers, missionaries and leaders in Christian ministry and other helping professions to recover from burnout.
Background
In my current and past work, I've been passionate about being a part of God’s healing in people and relationships because I believe it empowers us to thrive in the purposes God has for us and the world. Before opening my private practice, I worked as the Director of Outreach and as a therapist at the now closed Asian American Christian Counseling Service. Before that, I served as the Mobilization Director for Reah International and worked closely with field workers based in North Korea and NE China. I received my MS MFT from Fuller Seminary and my MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary. I'm also an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church.
When not counseling or offering spiritual direction, you can catch me eating delicious meals with my husband and son. You can also find me out on casual hikes, doing yoga, enjoying art and architecture, reading YA fantasy/scifi or streaming my favorite shows.
