Hi, I’m Jenny.

My parents immigrated to America in the 80’s. Soon after, my sister and I were born. As the younger sister by almost five years, I experienced much of the negative dynamics my family endured through a filter of youth and the protection of my sister. Even still, my early life chapters are comprised of my parents’ tumultuous divorce, leading to my mother raising both my sister and me as a single parent.

I have learned a great deal through my life chapters and continue to do so as I grow as a therapist as well as in my other life roles, such as educator and supervisor. Through my education and my own work with therapy, I have been able to better understand my core values and how I strive to live them out every day.

In addition to being the owner of Chapters Within Therapy, I identify as a Korean American, heterosexual, cisgender woman, lifelong learner, dog enthusiast, parts-identifier, therapist, counselor educator, counselor supervisor, daughter, sister, wife, and friend. The intersectionality of my identities allows me to understand different privileges and oppressions that contribute to my perspectives and beliefs as a therapist and a person. I hope to create safe and collaborative spaces with my clients in order to explore and identify the experiences within their life chapters that affect their present-day dynamics. I work through a holistic perspective with IFS to support the therapeutic growth of clients. Above all, my passion to work with people comes from my belief that every person is fundamentally good and deserves to be loved.

Outside of my therapy office, you can find me hanging with my pups and husband, going out to eat, tending to my plants, catching sunsets (first with my eyes then my phone), searching for secondhand goodies, reading self-help books, and plotting my next DIY house project!
