Meet your therapist

Hi, I’m Susan.

I’m a therapist, mom, and Korean American. I work with women navigating anxiety, motherhood, and the pressure to keep everything moving.

My own postpartum experience led me to deepen my perinatal training. I also make room for culture, family expectations, and identity in our conversations.

My style is warm and validating, firm yet gentle. I offer space to process what’s been weighing on you, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge patterns that leave you stretched too thin. Together, we can brainstorm practical changes that make room for your needs.

How I work

Warm. Thoughtful.
Actively in it with you.

We’ll make sense of what’s underneath the overwhelm and work on changes you can actually use in daily life.

A conversation where you can be yourself.

Bring a recent moment: an argument, a worry that keeps returning, or the guilt that shows up when you take a break.

Curiosity about what keeps you stuck.

We’ll slow it down and explore the thoughts, expectations, and relationship patterns shaping your response.

Practical changes, at a realistic pace.

We’ll choose a practical next step, such as asking for support, setting a boundary, or responding differently to anxious thoughts.

I draw from CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, IFS, and ACT, alongside self-compassion and attachment-based, trauma-informed care. Our work is tailored to your needs, goals, and what you’re looking for in therapy.

What we can work toward

Small shifts in everyday life.

Your goals will be personal to you. Together, we might work toward:

Taking a break with less guilt and more room for your own needs.
Asking for support and communicating more clearly with your partner or family.
Responding to anxious thoughts with more flexibility and less urgency.
Making decisions with more trust in yourself.

We’ll check in along the way about what’s changing, what still feels hard, and what you want to focus on next.

Where we can meet

Online therapy in three states.

Attend from a private space in California, Colorado, or Florida. You must be physically in one of these states during each session.

Yes, I welcome new private-pay clients. We’ll confirm an ongoing appointment time during your consultation. Insurance is billed through Headway; accepted plans vary by state. Anthem is California only and currently waitlisted. See insurance plans by state and confirm benefits for your specific plan before your first appointment.

Individual therapy is $180 per 50-minute session, including the first appointment. A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available. Explore fees, insurance, and superbills.
