Jisu holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of British Columbia. She is registered with both the British Columbia College of Social Workers and the Alberta College of Social Workers.

Jisu has supported a variety of populations in the field of psychiatry, ranging from children to seniors, with a specialization in working with teens and young adults. She’s received concentrated training in therapeutic treatment of anxiety, depression, and psychosis. She has a comprehensive understanding of comorbid psychiatric illnesses and addiction issues. Jisu understands that everyone comes with their own intersecting identities, unique story, as well as personal needs that may best be accommodated through a variety of therapy styles. She primarily engages in cognitive behavioral therapy with the incorporation of dialectical behaviour therapy, acceptance-commitment therapy, narrative therapy, and uses trauma informed as well as anti-oppressive approaches to tailor to your desired therapy outcomes. 

In sessions with Jisu, you can curiously explore the values, beliefs, and personal experiences which have shaped who you are today. Jisu can support you in identifying your strengths, curating self-acceptance and building self-compassion as you navigate life’s transitions and challenges. She hopes to foster meaningful conversations that explore the underlying emotions and/or unmet needs of your behaviors and thoughts that may no longer be conducive to your growth. She views therapy as a collaborative space for developing helpful strategies that meet your needs and honor your present self. She has a gentle and relaxed presence and fosters an environment of non-judgement and encouragement. Jisu looks forward to being a part of your mental health journey.
