As a second-generation Korean-Canadian, Jen grew up trying to figure things out herself so she wouldn’t be a burden to others. She learned to carry her struggles in silence, but her desire to be truly known and accepted never faded. Despite this desire, letting people see the messy, broken parts of her life was incredibly scary because of cultural implications which left her feeling lonely and unsure who she could turn to. It wasn’t until Jen’s own counselor that she was able to experience healing in a relationship with a safe other, and the relief of knowing she would be accepted just as she is even when she doesn’t have it all together. 

Jen believes that we are all made for connection. With Jen, you can expect to find a safe space where you are welcome just as you are. A space where there will be self-discovery, laughter, tears, understanding and growth. Her hope is that you don’t have to feel so alone in your pain anymore and can experience healing through relationship. For those who wish to bring their faith into counseling, Jen can provide Christian integration upon request.
