Hi! I’m Deja. I identify as a cis-gender multi-racial woman. I believe the healing process takes place when we are ready to listen deeply to what the body is already communicating. This can be a great challenge and it does not have to be done alone. I am here to be present with you, to be a guide when needed, and to witness your healing journey.

As a Korean American who identifies as queer and cisgender, born and raised in Chicago, I’ve cultivated a deep awareness of the complexities inherent in navigating multiple identities within a society and culture that often dismisses diversity. My mission as a human, and therapist, is to reclaim our shared humanness by exploring the intricate interplay between our identities and bodies within our worlds.

As a queer, neurodivergent Black femme, finding a sense of belonging and safety in this world has been crucial. Somatic therapy and yoga have played a huge part in my journey to feel at home in myself no matter what land I stand on. I love holding space for people to see themselves fully and with compassion. I find immense joy in helping you find the equilibrium needed to move in the direction of the life most authentic to you.
