LGBT therapists in Missouri City, TX

Welcome! As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, I partner with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, and life or career transitions. I also specialize in treating addictions of all kinds. Whether you are actively struggling with substance use and dependence, navigating early recovery, or looking for long-term support in the recovery process, I am here to help.

I also provide dedicated care to LGBTQIA+ individuals. I believe that meaningful healing happens when you feel completely safe and respected.I provide a compassionate, collaborative, and judgment-free space tailored entirely to your needs. Together, we will uncover what it means for you to thrive, setting realistic goals and developing healthy, everyday coping skills. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward growth and healing.

I'm a licensed psychologist, an assistant professor at a public university, and — in an earlier life — a musician who led a band around Hongdae in Seoul. I was born and raised in Korea and have since lived and worked across the U.S. and in Vietnam, so I know the experience of living between cultures from the inside.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children, in English and Korean, on ADHD and executive functioning; anxiety, stress, and depression; giftedness, creativity, and high performance (including performers and creative professionals); and bicultural and Korean-American identity, acculturation, and family dynamics across generations. I also see couples and families.

My doctorate is from one of the very few APA-accredited Combined (Counseling & School Psychology) programs in North America, and I've researched creativity and giftedness for more than ten years. Most of my work is by telehealth.

I am a Compassionate Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping people navigate their mental health journey. With nearly 20 years of global nursing experience providing both psychiatric and medical care across the lifespan, I offer a unique, holistic perspective on well-being. My approach centers on comprehensive psychiatric assessment, careful medication management, and expert crisis intervention. I’m passionate about building genuine therapeutic relationships, collaborating with other providers, and promoting evidence-based, patient-centered mental health care.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped checking in with yourself. Or maybe life changed unexpectedly, and you're trying to figure out who you are now.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, families, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, major life transitions, and the stress that comes from simply trying to keep up. My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet the constant mental noise, and feel more confident in the choices you make.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I'm easy to talk to, calm, honest, and genuine. Therapy with me is a place where you don't have to have it all figured out. You can show up exactly as you are, and we'll take it one step at a time.
