Great to meet you!

Seoul-born, I hold dual certifications as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with a DNP from the University of Virginia. For 23 years, I've balanced practicing as a cardiology nurse with educating students and aiding patients with various mental health challenges. With a military family background, I specialize in suicide and substance abuse prevention, deeply understanding the unique struggles faced by military personnel.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Clients can expect that I will deliver thorough evaluations, tailor-made treatment plans, and continuous support to meet their mental health requirements. I frequently adopt a holistic strategy, combining medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments to enhance overall well-being. Moreover, clients should feel encouraged to engage in open communication with me, inquire about their treatment alternatives, and take an active role in their journey towards care.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients undergo a thorough mental health assessment and receive a tailored treatment plan comprising medication management and lifestyle adjustments. I aim to empower clients to participate actively in their journey to wellness, fostering open communication and offering education on their condition and treatment choices. Continuous support and follow-up appointments ensure progress monitoring and necessary adaptations, ultimately aiming to boost mental well-being and overall quality of life.
