Meet Josh
I am honored to be included in your journey of healing and growth. In our work together, you will be met with warmth, curiosity, and steady attention. I will always listen closely to your story, and we will gently explore your challenges while setting clear and doable steps that fit your life.
I am person-centered and collaborative. I believe in your potential to recover and grow, and I will be a faithful partner along the way. I often draw from Motivational Interviewing and Life Coaching to help clients move through ambivalence and experience small but meaningful wins. My hope is that you leave each session feeling known, encouraged, and a little more free.
My Background
I was born and raised in South Korea, homeschooled by a historian father and a therapist mother, which gave me a deep interest in how people build and repair relationships. At sixteen, I moved to the U.S. alone, finished high school in English despite speaking very little at first, and began mentoring other international students.
In college, I studied history, philosophy, logic, and psychology, and learned that psychological health is holistic—mind, body, and relationships working together. I am now in the final year of my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy, integrating my coaching experience and person-centered values with clinical training.
Areas of Focus
I work with teens, young adults, couples, and families. My areas of focus include:
Depression, anxiety, and stress management
Relationship problems between couples, within families, and among peers
Substance use problems and other addictions
Work-life balance, motivation, and academic challenges
I welcome clients of all cultural backgrounds, and my specialization includes working with international couples and students navigating cross-cultural adjustment.
Fun Facts About Josh
Outside the office, I enjoy camping and backpacking with family and friends. After work, you will often find me surfing along the California coastline or cooking and sharing Korean food with loved ones. I also play piano, guitar, bass, and drums, and love making music with people.
I am fluent in both English and Korean.
