I have been working as a psychotherapist for the past seven years at an institution that provides treatment for victims of violent crimes. Most of the clients I see experience PTSD. I am particularly interested in the manifestation, progression, and recovery of PTSD, with a special focus on how the severity of symptoms varies depending on individual characteristics. My main concern is identifying which therapeutic interventions are most effective in promoting recovery. I hope to conduct practical, academically sound research based on data gathered in the field. I believe that the observations and data accumulated through direct clinical work with clients can make meaningful contributions to the scientific understanding of PTSD.

I am a Ph.D. student in Clinical Psychology at Sungkyunkwan University and a licensed clinical psychologist working at a public center that provides trauma-focused care for victims of violent crime. My research interests include trauma, evidence-based treatments for trauma, and the psychological and social processes that promote resilience and recovery. Grounded in my clinical work, I aim to conduct research that not only meets scientific standards but also speaks to the realities of people’s lives. I am especially interested in how empirically supported treatments can be made more effective, accessible, and sustainable in real-world settings. As both a clinician and a researcher, I strive to explore knowledge that meaningfully contributes to clients’ recovery and growth. Outside of work and study, I cherish spending time with my twin children, and I find joy and balance in everyday moments and family travels.

My research is centered on transdiagnostic processes in psychopathology, with a specific focus on emotion regulation. I'm currently studying how diverse pathways of emotion dysregulation can evolve into mental disorders. Furthermore, I am exploring emotion dysregulation in adult ADHD and its potential to cause secondary mental health issues.

Hello, everyone! I'm a master's student in clinical psychology with a particular interest in social anxiety and personality. I'm especially drawn to how core (personality) traits shape not only our thoughts and behaviors, but also how these unfold into the decisions we make and the paths our lives take. My goal is to better understand these underlying dispositions and their role in psychological vulnerability and adaptation. Outside of research, I enjoy reading and interpreting Greek mythology—stories that have endured for centuries and often reflect psychological themes that continue to resonate deeply with us today.

Hello! I'm a master's student in clinical psychology. My primary research interest lies in borderline personality disorder, particularly in features such as identity disturbance and chronic feelings of emptiness, which I seek to understand through the lens of developmental psychopathology. In this context, I'm also interested in the roles of childhood maltreatment, invalidating environments, and both the victimization and perpetration of intimate partner violence across adolescence and adulthood. Above all, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of the complex and turbulent dynamics that individuals with borderline personality features experience in their relationships with significant others.

Hello! I am a master's student of clinical psychology. My main interest is in Posttraumatic stress disorder, especially criminal victims' PTSD. Currently, I am researching how technology-facilitated sexual violence(TFSV) affects victims' mental health, since sexual assault or harassment via online is increasingly becoming a serious social problem in Korea. I hope my research contributes to enhancing TFSV victims' mental health and preventing crime.  To manage my mental health, I enjoy watching movies and baseball games.

I am broadly interested in the emotion regulation strategies individuals employ to cope with psychological distress, and how such distress may be externally expressed. My research interests also include non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicidality, and borderline personality traits. Outside of my academic pursuits, I take delight in starting each day with a mellow playlist.
