I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in simple and complex trauma to help individuals in their healing journey.
I am a Korean-American therapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area and was raised in South Korea, Hawaii and California. I have over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist and over 16 years in educational settings in both the United States and internationally.
Therapeutic Approach
As a humanistic therapist, I have come to trust the client’s ability to heal from negative experiences and difficulties with the proper guidance and opportunity. I believe the brain and body are designed to heal and practice the encouragement of this ability in the therapeutic process. So, my therapeutic approach is to meet the client where they are and provide a comfortable and neutral environment for clients to be able to move through their healing process.
Specialization
Trauma Processing with EMDR and Brainspotting
I am certified in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, which are two brain based therapies that help individuals heal from past negative and traumatic experiences by accessing the brain’s ability to heal itself.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (any movement that crosses the midline of the body is bilateral) to desensitize and process memories; while, Brainspotting uses focused mindfulness to draw out and process memories. Both are power therapies that provide healing and recovery.

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
