Young lived in Windsor, Ontario as a child, then moved back to South Korea to complete her education. Having experienced growing up in two distinct cultures, she sometimes felt that she existed “between worlds.” As she navigated a career in the global shipping industry for 15 years, working in Seoul and Singapore, Young continued to reflect internally, and in her own personal therapy, on issues of personal identity, self-acceptance, and the meaning of genuine connection with others. As a counsellor, Young draws on her experience of cultural diversity as well as the commonality of human experience across cultures to create a compassionate, open-minded space for clients who have a deep desire to be seen and heard for who they are.
저는 어린 시절을 캐나다와 한국에서 보내면서 캐나다와 한국 문화의 접점에서 성장했습니다. 한국에서는 대원외고를 나와, 연세 대학교 정치 외교학과 학사 졸업 후, 한국과 싱가포르에서 회사 생활을 년간 하면서 다양한 인생 경험을 쌓을 수 있었습니다. 사회 생활을 해 나가면서도, 자기가치, 자존감, 그리고 타인과의 진정성 있는 소통에 대해 고민해 왔습니다. 심리 상담사로 활동하면서 내담자가 자신을 깊이 이해할 수 있도록 도와 드리는, 개인적으로 의미 있는 일을 통해 세상에 기여할 수 있게 되었음에 감사하는 마음입니다.
