Human Change, Compassion & Freedom
How do we come to understand ourselves, relate differently to suffering, and live with greater freedom?
I am a Doctor of Korean Medicine and a specialist in Korean medicine neuropsychiatry, based in Seoul. My clinical work brings together trauma care, women’s mental health, and attention to bodily and emotional experience. The questions I encounter in practice guide my research and teaching.
My research focuses on women with ADHD and the experience of coming to understand oneself later in life. I also explore questions of compassion, contemplative practice, and human change. Through disaster health and public health research, I consider how care can reach beyond the consulting room.
Across this work, I am guided by the hope that greater understanding of ourselves can deepen our capacity to care for others.
