About

• Registered Psychologist (NZ Psychologists Board, Clinical Scope)
• Member, New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists
• Member, Korean Clinical Psychology Association

I trained at the University of Auckland and completed a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology in 2007. Since then I have worked at Community Mental Health Center (adults) in DHB and private practices.

In addition to working with adults in New Zealand, I have supported expatriate individuals and families in Korea. I also served as a university lecturer in Korea for six years, where I developed a deep passion for mentoring young adults.

As a Korean immigrant, I moved to New Zealand in 1998 after growing up in South Korea and Thailand. My cross-cultural journey continued into adulthood as I lived and worked in various countries and cultural settings, including Spain, Laos, and the UAE. These experiences have fostered a strong interest in cross-cultural transitions and adjustment. I am open, curious, and committed to understanding and supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My passion lies in helping individuals gain self-awareness, heal from emotional wounds, live in the present, and move forward mindfully to embrace a life that is true to their authentic self.

I enjoy working in a collaborative, compassionate, and genuine manner with my clients. I warmly invite you to begin a journey of understanding, healing, and becoming.

A path toward greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and living as your authentic self.
