Hanna is like an acorn squash—mildly flavored and highly versatile.— A past client

Hello! My name is Hanna (they/them). I am a nonbinary and queer Korean-American clinical social worker and therapist. Everyone deserves a safe and compassionate space to process and explore, whether they are healing from difficult life events or simply taking a pause to reflect on their life. It brings me great purpose as a therapist and fellow human to support folks in (re)connecting with their inner wisdom, joy, and pleasure!

Values of social justice and human rights are at the heart of my work. My perspective is informed by intersectionality, queer and feminist theory, critical race theory and racial justice, transformative justice, disability justice, and other liberation movements. I draw on interventions from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Health at Every Size (HAES), and mindfulness. My various identities and lived experiences also inform the way I show up in the therapy space.

As a clinician, I deeply believe in holistic care, where the biological, psychological, cultural, sexual, and spiritual aspects of a client are given equal consideration and attention. My approach to therapy is honest, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based. I work to create a non-judgemental space where a client can introspect freely and find empowerment on multiple levels: as both an individual and as an interbeing who can bring transformation into their community. I especially appreciate working with folks who are curious, open-minded, and willing to meet themself exactly where they are in their journey.

Outside of the therapy room, you can find me making sculptures and ceramics, watching cult cinema, and engaging in joyful movements of swimming, biking, and hiking!
