Meet Aaron
I'm a mixed-race Korean American therapist, IFS therapist, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy guide. I came to this work the way many sensitive people do β by living it first. Growing up between cultures taught me early that healing isn't one-size-fits-all. The most meaningful work I've witnessed lives in the bridge β between mind and heart, science and soul, what we know clinically and what we feel in our bodies. My training is in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Emotion-Focused Therapy β all rigorously researched, all deeply heart-centered. I've also dedicated myself to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy because some healing asks us to drop below the thinking mind into territory talk alone cannot reach. The people I'm honored to walk with tend to be sensitive, intuitive, generous β therapists, healers, caretakers, creatives, seekers β many with marginalized identities, many carrying ancestral stories the world hasn't always made room for. If that's you, I'd be honored to walk with you. β Aaron
How I approach This Work
Therapy begins with relationship. Before any strategy, technique, or modality, I believe people need a space where they feel safe enough to bring their full selves β their stories, identities, questions, struggles, hopes, and the parts of them that may have gone unseen for a long time.
My approach is grounded in cultural humility, curiosity, and respect. I know that our experiences are shaped by family, culture, community, identity, and the larger systems we move through. You won't have to leave those parts of yourself at the door.
Together, we'll begin where you are today. We'll explore what's asking for care, identify what feels most important to you, and shape a path forward that reflects your values and goals. Along the way, I'll support you in developing the insight, tools, and resources needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
Healing isn't just about reducing symptoms. It's about fostering greater connection to yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to build.
Evidence-Based and Heart-Rooted.
I believe the most meaningful healing happens where research and relationship meet. My work draws from evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Emotion-Focused Therapy while remaining grounded in the understanding that we are shaped through experience and relationship.
Many of the beliefs we carry about ourselves were formed in moments of pain, disconnection, or survival. Healing often comes through new experiencesβof safety, understanding, compassion, and connection. Together, we'll work toward not only finding relief from what hurts, but creating a deeper and more lasting connection to yourself and the people who matter most.
