Intern Therapist
Welcome! I am so happy you are here. My name is Ahreum (Autumn), and as a therapist my goals are to support you on your journey toward whatever in life you are for, whether that is personal growth, meaning in life, or something you may not even be sure of yet. I believe therapy is the most special when it is a collaborative process where we can explore your unique story and work together to uncover the strengths and resources you already possess. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to helping you find hope and resilience in your particular season of life.
I primarily work with individuals and couples who are navigating life's transitions and challenges, whether managing anxiety, coping with depression, or seeking to improve relationships. My clients often include adults dealing with stress, professionals facing career challenges, couples facing relational conflict, and those experiencing grief or loss. I also have a special focus on supporting young adults as they navigate the complexities of identity, self-worth, and life direction.
Therapy with me will always be a collaborative journey. We’ll use a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), to tailor our sessions to your specific needs. My aim is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we'll work on building practical skills and strategies that empower you to make meaningful changes and achieve your personal goals.
I am a Washington native, born and raised in Vancouver, WA but I grew up steeped in Korean culture through my grandparents and great grandma who also lived in our nuclear home. I have always held a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape our lives, which has led me to my practice today. Outside of therapy, I try to stay grounded and rooted through my faith, strength building activities, and time spent with my loved ones. I find my greatest joy in witnessing another individual find joy in the life they are living. As an individual who grew up in a multigenerational home, always filled with extended family members, various life stages, and cultures, I was fortunate to see the beauty of human relationships early on. And, as the oldest daughter of 3 children in this Korean American home there were also many factors that competed with this joy and shook up my identity and worth early. With my clients, I hope to find more of the precious, at times hidden, value of life, even in the midst of many hardships that come with life’s various challenges, while also promoting our genuine, holistic, well-being. I look forward to partnering with you on this path of self-discovery and growth. Let's work together to create, find, and reclaim the life you are hoping to live.
