I work in a mental health clinic focused on children and their families. My main focus in working with the child is meeting them where they are at in development and learning about their experience. I also strive to bring in the parents and family to share the experience together.

I am a Korean American transracial, transcultural, and transnational adoptee, a licensed clinical social worker, and the co-owner of a group mental health practice in Minneapolis. I also serve as the co-interim Director of Training and Clinical Supervision, supporting clinical trainees and pre-licensed therapists through developmentally informed supervision, training, and mentorship. In these roles, I intentionally balance direct clinical work with leadership and systems-level work to support both ethical practice and sustainable care.

We work with young people 11+ years old, and have a mix of kids that have previous involvement in child welfare (CP, adoption, etc) & kids that have had no previous involvement.
