About Me

Hi! My name is Dr. Kim. I started my professional career working within the field of addiction in a residential setting. After taking time to identify my primary core value, Inner Peace, I realized that if all is right in my world and I'm in complete balance, I have true Inner Peace. This is a value I live by and is the catalyst to my continued journey in helping others. My favorite story is "The Starfish" by Loren Eiseley because it shows that while not everyone can be helped, that if we try to help one person at a time then the world will be a better place.
