Background
I am a licensed psychologist in MA and see individuals and couples aged 18 and over. I provide individual psychotherapy, couples and family counseling, pastoral counseling, and spiritually-integrative therapy.
I have a rich experience of working with people from many walks of life in terms of racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. I provide a safe and authentic space for my clients to explore, learn, and grow with a kind, yet honest, posture for themselves. I believe in the power of genuine listening and presence, and walk gently with my clients for their journey towards healing and growth.
I was born and grew up in South Korea. Through my own experiences, I can understand the challenges and beauty in the diasporic and cross-cultural existence. I have lived and worked in rural areas, suburbs, and cities of New England which has broadened my awareness of different cultures within American culture.
I can provide psychotherapy both in English and Korean.
Training and Clinical Experience
I earned my doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology and Religion from Boston University and earned a Master’s degree in divinity from Boston University School of Theology. I completed an APA-accredited internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the Albert and Jessie Danielsen Institute at Boston University. I was trained for spiritually integrative psychotherapy. I also taught Spiritual Care class at Harvard Divinity School and Pastoral Care/Counseling at Boston University as an adjunct faculty.
Before starting Namu Counseling, I provided clinical services at Life Stance Behavioral Health/formerly Commonwealth Psychology Associates in downtown Boston and Newton-Wellesley office. I am also a member of the EMDR International Association.
