My Story
My life is more fulfilling when I can assist others meaningfully. My passion for helping children and teens grew significantly throughout my studies and career. My curiosity and dedication led me to become a Registered Play Therapist.
Children may not always have the words to express their struggles and emotions. I wanted to find a way to meet them where they are and equip them with the necessary tools to navigate through challenges. Through play therapy, children can use their natural language of play to explore and process their internal difficulties. I aim to provide a safe space for your child to develop strengths and resilience. Moreover, I value the power of collaborative partnerships with caregivers. I invite caregivers to be part of their child’s therapeutic journey.
아이가 혹시 침울해 졌거나 평상시보다 화가 많거나 아니면 갑자기 혼자 있는 시간이 더 늘어나서 걱정이 되셨는지요? 아이들의 힘든 마음을 알아가고 싶은데 언어에서 부딪히는 의사소통의 한계를 경험하셨는지요? 저명한 놀이치료 전문가인 Dr. Landreth께서 “장난감은 아이들의 단어이며 놀이는 아이들의 언어” 라고 합니다. 놀이 또한 미술치료를 통하여 아이들이 격고 있는 내적인 문제를 탐구하며 해결할수 있습니다 저는 아동 발달/성장을 고려하여 놀이심리치료에 대한 전문 교육을 받았습니다. 전 조지아 놀이치료 협회 회장 밑에서 수료와 놀이치료 자격증을 취득하였습니다. 저는 행동 정신건강 기관들, 여러 초등학교, 그리고 아동청소년 정신병원에서 심리치료사로 근무하였습니다. 아이의 치료와 힐링 여행을 같이 할 심리치료사가 되고 싶습니다.
