AIRE Counseling
Transformation, healing, and liberation
“When we shine the light of our own awareness and compassion on all that we have relegated to the darkest corners of our consciousness – our deepest wounds, fears, and turmoils - we begin the courageous work to transform and heal ourselves.”

Holistic Healing Advocate & EMDR Specialist
A Korean transracial adoptee, grateful to reside on the traditional land of the Duwamish people in the Pacific Northwest. My passion lies in supporting individuals on their holistic journey of emotional and spiritual healing.
Client-Centered Support: With a commitment to client-led and centered therapy, I create a safe space for your personal healing journey. I believe in the transformative power of understanding our stories and history, embracing personal strength, practicing self-love, and receiving the wisdom of our ancestors. Each person's healing journey is unique, and I am here to honor and support yours.
Therapeutic Modalities: Trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) by the EMDR Institute, I integrate these approaches, along with somatics and mindfulness, to guide you through the healing process. EMDR, in particular, offers a unique pathway to navigate and integrate your experiences.
Free Consultations for Adoptees: As a fellow adoptee, I understand the unique challenges. I offer free 15-minute consultations to adoptees, providing resources and support.
Social Justice & Trauma-Informed Care: Emphasizing social justice and race equity, I explore the impact of trauma—intergenerational, interpersonal, and communal. Together, we can move towards healing collectively and individually, examining the intersections and impact of our complex identities and impact of capitalism, white supremacy and other forms of oppression.
A Heartfelt Approach: My practice is founded on love, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. I bring a warm and nurturing energy to each session, creating an atmosphere where you can feel seen, heard, and truly understood.
Areas of Focus: I specialize in working with those impacted by adoption, navigating ambiguous loss, life transitions, empaths, and people of color.
Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and healing. If you're ready to explore the transformative power within you, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
