ABOUT

Thank you for your interest! I believe the journey to undertake therapy takes courage within us to explore our inner depths and become more self aware. I am glad that you are here contemplating these next steps.
I am a Student Therapist on a path to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. I am currently completing a 5-Year Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. Psychotherapy is an exciting career path for me after spending over 10 years in the public policy and health care sectors. I have grown up, and worked in Canada and South Korea. Throughout my journey, I have been an explorer of humanity and meaning. I believe that therapy can be an incredible support to encounter life’s challenges, explore our being, and to heal. I have a genuine desire to support clients through the hardest of times and best of times. 
I have a deep interest and experience working with adults, young adults/college graduates, and parents encountering:

• Anxiety
• Trauma
• Anger issues
• Parenting issues
• Interpersonal relationships
• Work/Career stress
• Cross-cultural issues 

What is Gestalt Therapy? Gestalt is a humanistic approach to therapy that is relational, somatic/body-focused, and creative. This therapeutic process welcomes both the therapist and client to come into authentic contact to support the client’s awareness in the here and now. A Gestalt therapist may also invite the client to participate in creative experiments that may help the client discover new insights and awareness. I like to think of Gestalt as an exquisite unfolding process of becoming more human and coming home to ourselves. Gestalt is my primary approach to therapy, and I also appreciate other therapeutic modalities that are supportive to the client. 
I offer low-cost therapy ($80 for 50-minute session). I am fully supervised by an experienced Registered Psychotherapist. I invite you to contact me for a free 20-minute phone consultation.
