For over 20 years, I’ve worked with adoptees, adoptive families, and clinicians navigating the complex ways adoption can shape development, relationships, mental health, and treatment. My lived experience as a Korean-adoptee informs and deepens my work.

I offer psychotherapy and parent consultation for families, along with consultation and training on bringing the adoption lens into clinical work for teams in outpatient and residential settings.

I wrote, “Parenting in The Eye of The Storm: The Adoptive Parent’s Guide to Navigating the Teen Years,” in response to what I was seeing in my clinical work, again and again - adopted teens and adults were not equipped for adulthood.

Since then, along with my clinical work, I’ve been teaching, presenting and consulting for clinicians for organizations such as National Association of Social Workers, Adelphi University, William-James College and A Home Within, which is a national organization which offers psychotherapy to current and former foster care youth.
