During my early 20s, I reached out to a therapist found in the phone book "Yellow Pages," and their support was hugely beneficial for my anxiety. Ever since then, I have used therapy as a tool to gain a deeper understanding of my anxiety, attachment fears, anger, defences, and the mind-body relationship. Over a decade later, I am grateful to be here as a student counsellor and welcome all folks on their healing journey.
I value your autonomy, experiences, and insight. I lean towards humanistic approaches that are strength-based, harm-reduction-oriented, and trauma-informed. My personal experiences in recovering from attachment difficulties, chronic pain (fatigue & fibromyalgia), burn injuries, incarceration of a family member, and sexual trauma led me to appreciate what the counselling field has to offer and support folks in a meaningful way.
While working as a college advisor previously, I met some wonderful people who strengthened my passion for supporting marginalized communities and folks facing life transitions, attachment issues, and neurodiversity. I experienced and saw how the stresses of frequent relocations, separation from loved ones, and (re)adjustments affect attachment to ourselves and others. Over time, I also became keenly interested in chronic illness, neuroplastic pain, repressed aggression, grief, and addiction.
"Not why the addiction but why the pain." - Gabor Maté
In my spare time, I enjoy long walks with music in my ears, creating videos for my nephew, baking something with bananas, and staring at other people's pets lovingly.
As a South Korean immigrant, I have been a settler in Canada for over 20 years, living on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
