After she moved to Korea, she was a psychotherapist in the Ministry of Health and Welfare at Seoul Saint Mary’s Hospital in Catholic University of Korea.  She treated addictions, particularly clients with substance use problems, specializing in alcohol dependence and smoking cessation.

Therapy Approach

I am interested in people’s mental well-being from a positive psychology perspective. I believe in every individual’s potential to become a fully functioning person. A fully functioning person is one who grows through openness to experiences. They trust their own judgement and ability to choose behaviors for living fully in each moment. We all can cope with the normal stresses of life and we will feel more free to be creative in the way we adapt to our own personal circumstances without feeling the need to conform. In this perspective, I facilitate your journey of learning to maintain or enhancement your self structure. Within the healthy relationship with me, you can experience safe openness and sharing about this and obtain the care you need for yourself.
