Deep Healing for Lasting Change
Embrace the Freedom to Thrive
Attachment-focused somatic therapy for adults experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, & relationship challenges
You’ve done everything you can to heal on your own—
but you are still hurting.
Most days, it feels like no one truly sees what you're holding inside. From the outside, you appear to be managing just fine. You show up, take care of what’s expected, and keep pushing forward. But beneath the surface, there’s a quiet suffering—a sense that something deep within you still hurts.
Even when life looks okay on the outside, the past can linger in ways you don’t always expect. It can shape your emotions, your relationships, and the way you move through the world. You’ve tried to make sense of it—maybe even turned to therapy before. But despite your efforts, something still feels stuck. Things feel off—overwhelming, unsteady, or just not quite like you.
You may find yourself constantly tending to others’ needs while your own go unheard. Or you might feel the pressure of keeping everything together—the stress, the expectations, the endless to-do lists—and just wish you could finally exhale. A part of you wonders if life is meant to feel this heavy.
You’ve always been the strong one—but carrying it all is wearing you down.
And even in the midst of all that, you haven’t given up. Deep down, you believe healing is possible. You’re ready for something that goes deeper than coping—something that gently gets to the root, honors what you’ve been through, and helps you come home to yourself.
You want to feel at home in your body, your relationships, and your life.
You might be dealing with things like…
Pain that lingers from the past
Grief from a loss, breakup, or life change
Burnout or chronic stress from work or school
Feeling unseen, unappreciated, or emotionally alone
Relationship struggles that leave you feeling disconnected
Depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or a deep sense of loneliness
No matter what’s brought you here or how you’re feeling in this moment…
I got you.
HI, I’M IIHAE.
I am here to walk alongside you as you begin to gently untangle the old patterns and pain that still live in your body and your story.
My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that meaningful healing happens through relationship—in spaces where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Many of the people I work with did not grow up with that kind of support. That is why our work together is not just about talking things through. It is about creating a felt experience of connection that is safe, authentic, and healing—perhaps in a way you have not known before.
I offer a gentle, body-based approach that helps you tune into your inner experience, make sense of your emotions, and reconnect with who you are beneath the layers of stress and survival. As we work together, you will begin to learn practical ways to calm your body when things feel too much—tangible tools to help steady your nervous system, feel more grounded, and meet life with more clarity and ease.
We will explore what has been painful—and what is possible—at a pace that honors your capacity and your courage. You do not need to have it all together. You are welcome to come just as you are.
In this space, you can begin to:
Release the pressure to always “have it together”
Understand and heal the impact of past relationships
Build a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself
Learn how to feel safe in your body and your emotions
Experience a different kind of connection—one rooted in trust, care, and respect
I offer online therapy for adults in Pasadena and throughout California, supporting clients through a compassionate, relational, and somatic approach. Together, we’ll create space for you to feel safe, seen, and supported—so you can begin to move toward the life you long for.
