I am a Vanderbilt and UCLA trained board-certified psychiatrist and a therapist maintaining active membership of both the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC) and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP). 

To better serve younger populations, I've joined the Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program at SFCP. 

I have practiced medicine continuously since 2007. My clinical foundation includes completing two separate psychiatry residency programs and two fellowship programs in the United States and South Korea. As a result, I hold triple board certifications in adult psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and hospice and palliative medicine. These experiences have also led me to become a public speaker and a published author of the book, "죽음을 읽는 시간."

As a first-generation immigrant, I am deeply committed to fostering a healthier community that values diversity. I take great pride in caring for families, particularly those who have recently settled in the US. 

While my professional life is dedicated to clinical excellence, my priority remains spending meaningful time with my loved ones as a mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend.
