About Sae...
As a single mom, sister and therapist I understand the trials and tribulations that we face everyday. Mine might be a little different than yours but in the end stress is stress right. I like to approach therapy with the idea that sadness is sadness, anger is anger, and in many cases trauma is trauma. We can try to quantify our life experiences but in the end the core emotions are our own and all impact us differently.
I love what I do and am passionate about helping people blossom. After years managing restaurants I decided to go back to school, obtaining my Masters in Counseling Psychology, and redirect my life and focus on helping others. After suffering a traumatic loss myself I realized that as my sadness decreased that I was able to re-focus my energy on creating awareness and providing much needed help.
I am currently accepting new clients at a
beautiful and comforting private practice in Long Beach, California. For years I
have been working with moms, dads and individuals with life adjustments that
surround the field of pregnancy, family planning and personal grief. As passionate as I am for the perinatal arena, I am also super passionate about the life challenges that come with growing up and coming into our own. I work with many young adults (men and women) who are suffering from a quarter-life crisis. Yes this exists and it isn't an imagined concept... much like everything else it just took time to define this occurrence and give it a name (much like the Coriolis effect or Peristalsis).
I enjoy reading (classics and nonfiction), cooking and baking, gardening and spending time with my son.
