Restoring dignity is the underlying theme of my work. Hey there. I am an individual and couples therapist who takes a depth psychology approach. This means we move beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the hidden roots of your pain and desires. My goal is to help you move past "moralistic" or judgmental understandings of your struggles and toward true healing. Working with Men I often support men navigating: -The heavy pressure of being a provider. -Low confidence, "imposter syndrome," and constant comparison. -Sexual health, including low drive or porn use. -Making sense of betrayal and its aftermath. -Navigating major career and relational transitions. Working with Couples I help partners work through resentment, disconnection, and the breach of trust that follows emotional or sexual affairs. We work to rebuild intimacy and a sense of "team" in the face of conflict. Cultural & Spiritual Integration As a Korean-American and a Christian with experience in ministry, I understand the complex intersection of faith, culture, and mental health. I specialize in Asian and Latino mental health, specifically addressing intergenerational trauma and spiritual conflicts. Whether or not spirituality is a part of your journey, I provide a space where you are seen and supported, not judged. Professional Background In addition to my private practice, I supervise doctoral students at Biola’s Rosemead School of Psychology, staying deeply engaged with the latest clinical research and training. Take the First Step Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Reach out via call or email to see if we’re a good fit.

Taking this first step toward healing and rediscovering yourself can feel overwhelming, but it's can also be the beginning of a transformative journey that leads to inner growth and self-acceptance. I truly believe in creating a safe space where you can share your story, allowing your pain to be heard. As we journey together, my hope is that you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and grow into fully embracing who you are. I work from a trauma-focused lens to promote safety, empowerment, and healing for my clients. I have experience supporting individuals through a wide range of traumatic experiences and specialize in working with those who have experienced sexual trauma. My therapeutic approach integrates Psychodynamic theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family System (IFS), to provide individualized care tailored to each client’s needs. In our work together, we will emphasize holistic self-care, foster resilience, and approach healing from a strength-based perspective.

I am a licensed mental health therapist who is passionate about helping individuals lead more connected, balanced, and fulfilled lives. I have been working in the mental health field since 2017 after graduating from the University of Washington with my Master's in Social Work with a clinical focus on mental health. I serve adult women and hold all sessions via telehealth. I specialize in anxiety and trauma treatment, and I also have extensive experience helping clients navigate through life transitions, attachment issues, family of origin stress, depression, women’s issues, and parenthood. I provide compassionate evidence-based care as I use my clinical expertise to support clients. My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic, drawing from a blend of evidence-based techniques like CBT and the grounding principles and skills of DBT, such as mindfulness and emotion regulation. I also interweave the neurobiology of attachment and trauma into my work and use EMDR to help address deep mental and emotional wounds that feel stuck and stored in the mind and body. My work with clients relies heavily on neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire and heal through new neural connections. My clients are the experts in their life story. I offer support and clinical tools that can help individuals take charge of their mental health with confidence and lead the life that is most meaningful to them. As a clinical social worker, I operate from a strengths and systems based perspective and ensure that I leverage my clients' naturally occurring inner strengths and wisdom in our therapy journey together. Rather than treating a mere diagnosis, I collaborate holistically with my clients in their environment to achieve the sustainable positive change and healing they seek and deserve. In my practice, I prioritize forming empowering therapeutic relationships with my clients to cultivate a sense of safety and trust. Helping my clients feel safe and seen is a top priority in my practice as a therapist. Clients can expect that I will attune to their needs and emotional states as I sit with them and hold space without judgment. They can also expect authentic connection and warmth from me as a provider. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and growth as we work collaboratively toward your goals together!

My name is Michaella, and I am a bilingual (English/Korean) Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. My practice focuses on helping teens, young adults, and adults who struggle with substance use disorder, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transition, and adjustment issues for immigrants. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University in Texas. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. I specialize in trauma-focused treatments, emphasizing grounding skills, healthy coping mechanisms, and cognitive processing of the triggers and trauma history. I believe that opening the “memory box” must be followed up by developing appropriate skills to close it, preventing retraumatizing. I draw from theory-oriented DBT, RODBT, and CBT. “I am committed to being part of your journey toward regaining strength. My goal is to establish a comforting and healing therapy relationship, supporting you in enhancing your sense of security and collaboratively working toward your valued and desired life.”
