Therapy

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Please note as of April 2022, I am not taking any new clients. I am only seeing folx virtually.

Mission District, San Francisco.

As a biracial Korean/white, non-binary abolitionist and therapist, I am committed to social justice. I recognize that there are systems in place that often work against marginalized individuals and communities. While trauma impacts people from all walks of life, its impact is often greater on people on the downside of power. I am dedicated to the disruption of these systems, healing, and transformation.

I specialize in play therapy with very young children (0-3 years old) and work with trauma-impacted individuals and families. My work is collaborative, strength-based, and focused on raising resilience. I work to empower individuals and families and am committed to working together for social change both in and out of my office.

  • Individuals

    Relationships – the ones we have with others, with our work, with our bodies – provide the context for our lives. These exist in the broader context of our communities, and are often impacted by social structures. As we go through life navigating these contexts, our strengths and our difficulties are highlighted by our external world. I believe that we must attend to the whole context of the person, home, family, school, work as well as their community in order to make change. With curiosity and reflection we can work together towards transformation.

  • Partnerships

    In our adult partnerships, we learn and love so much! And when things aren’t going well, we hurt a lot, too. Most of us do not receive an education in conflict resolution, or even how to be in a healthy partnership. In my work with partnerships – queer, straight, poly – I hope to increase their skills and help them find their way back to the love that brought them together.

  • Children

    Our relationships with our children are integral – for their development and ours, too. When children come in for therapy, I am committed to helping the family as a whole to find ways to support one another, whatever shape it may take. I will work with families and children to increase skills as well as understand the deeper causes of whatever difficulties present to us as symptoms. I also work closely with the school team in developing and sharing skills and goals for the child.

Notice of Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. 

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of your healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. The Good Faith Estimate shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate is created. 

The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during the course of care. You could be charged more if special circumstances occur. In non-emergency circumstances, you will be provided with an updated Good Faith Estimate for any new expected charges.

If you are billed for more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill under federal law. Specifically, if you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

You may contact the healthcare provider or facility listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the Good Faith Estimate. You can ask them to update the bill to match the Good Faith Estimate, ask to negotiate the bill, or ask if there is financial assistance available. 

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate or the dispute process, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS’ toll-free number: 1-877-696-6775.
