Healing today, thriving tomorrow.
Therapy to foster growth and resilience for adults and teens.
I specialize in helping individuals level up: whether it’s through professional leadership/growth or simply navigating through life’s challenges, anxieties, transitions, and/or difficult relationships.
These topics can feel overwhelming and draining, but my goal is to help bring relief and feelings of progress from our very first session. Together, we’ll work to explore these challenges, develop real tools for coping, and create lasting positive change. Mindset shifts, skills practice and small changes in habits, can make a huge difference in how we navigate and move through our lives. Let’s work together to find the best approach for you.

Apayo’s Story
“Apayo” (아파요) means “I’m in pain” in Korean. Pain takes many forms, yet it is a universal part of life. It pushes us toward change, and while it may feel unbearable, it can also be the catalyst for healing. My work helps people navigate their pain—whether by confronting it, stepping away, or looking inward. Apayo Therapy was created with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and unlock their potential for healing and growth.
I bring varied life experiences to my work, with a strong foundation in social work and a diverse professional background spanning healthcare, nonprofit organizations, and private sector settings. This combination of expertise and varied perspectives allows me to approach each client’s journey with a compassionate, holistic view, providing the guidance and support needed to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and resilience.
