Hi, I’m Adine.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (MA, LMFT) offering online therapy to individuals, couples, and families (ages 11 and up) across Washington State. My style is gentle but direct. I'll be honest with you, I'll bring some humor, and I'll never make you feel judged for where you're starting.
Between two worlds
I grew up navigating two cultures at once, and it shaped how I understand identity, family, and connection. Many of the people I work with are Korean and Korean American women, couples, and adult children of immigrants. You may be the capable one in your family, the translator between generations, the person who swallows what you feel so everyone else can keep going.
There's a word for part of this, han (한): the grief, resentment, and things left unsaid that get carried quietly for years. You don't have to explain it to me. We can take it slowly, at your pace.
Our clinical work happens in English. I'm conversational in Korean, so you're welcome to use Korean phrases, family sayings, or cultural expressions, and I'll understand what you mean. More about my work with Korean American and bicultural clients.
How I work
Our sessions won't feel like a lecture, and they won't feel clinical. I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and, for couples, the Gottman Method, but you don't need to know what any of that means. In practice, we work on the "why" behind your patterns, not just the symptoms, and we build practical tools you can use in everyday life.
The relationship between us matters more than any technique. It's okay to be picky about who you trust with this, and if we meet and it's not the right fit, I'll tell you and help you find someone who is.
All of you is welcome
My practice is an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships, kink-friendly and sex-positive clients, single parents, and families who don't fit the template. I also work with therapists and other clinicians who are carrying a lot. You won't be asked to justify your relationship or educate me about it.
