Who I Help & How
If you're here, you might be feeling like parts of your life are slipping out of control. Maybe you’re facing memory issues that cause frustration or even fear. Or you could be dealing with ADHD or executive functioning challenges that make daily tasks feel overwhelming. You might wonder if there’s something more you could do, or if there’s a way to manage these struggles without feeling so alone in it.
I work with adults (18+), often high-achieving and motivated, who feel they’ve hit a wall in managing memory or focus issues. I also support those who worry about cognitive decline as they age and want practical steps to improve their brain health. My approach is straightforward and focused on helping you understand that, even in difficult circumstances, you have more control than it may seem. Together, we’ll work on tools and strategies that bring clarity and make life feel more manageable.
Why I Became a Psychologist
Growing up, I believed that helping others meant saving them. My grandfather, a former South Korean Marine, inspired me with his resilience and drive to make life better for himself and others. As I trained to become a clinical psychologist, I learned something important: true help isn’t about being saved. It’s about teaching people how to save themselves.
I became a psychologist because I wanted to give people the tools to see their own strength. Life’s challenges, big or small, don’t have to define us. I’m here to guide you in finding hope and solutions, even when it feels impossible.
What Makes My Approach Unique
Therapy doesn’t have to be a guessing game. My approach is structured, clear, and grounded in science. I use evidence-based methods to create a step-by-step plan that fits your goals. Together, we’ll set clear objectives and work through them one by one. Each session builds on the last, giving you skills you can take into your everyday life.
Setting Real Goals, Together
Every session has a clear purpose. Together, we’ll work through structured steps to help you make progress quickly and see real change.
Using What Works
I use only evidence-backed tools that work. You’ll learn skills to manage memory issues, focus better, and feel more grounded in your daily routine.
Building Confidence in You
My goal is to help you build confidence in handling life on your own. I want you to leave therapy with skills you trust, so you feel capable in any situation.
Why Choose Memory Gains?
Choosing the right psychologist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with memory concerns or challenges like ADHD. You want someone who truly understands the struggles you’re facing and knows how to support you in a way that makes sense for your life. I'm here to help you feel seen, heard, and equipped with the tools that matter.
Our approach is about real steps toward change. Each session has a purpose, focused on helping you feel more in control, whether that’s with managing memory, building focus, or organizing daily life. I'm here to work with you, to break down the process into clear, manageable actions that make a real difference.
I know that issues like memory loss and attention challenges can be deeply personal. You’re not looking for one-size-fits-all advice, and that’s not what we offer. I listen carefully to your unique needs, so our work together is as individualized as you are.

Testimonials
Past Client
"I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, but honestly, I’ve felt like I’ve had it since I was a kid. While I’m not quite ready to start medication, I’ve been exploring other options, like therapy, to help manage my symptoms. Dr. Kim has been incredibly helpful in this process. Through our sessions, I've learned practical strategies to stay organized, improve my focus, and manage impulsivity. Her approach is supportive, but straightforward, and I really feel like I'm gaining the tools I need to better navigate daily life with ADHD."
Past Client
"Dr. Kim has been a huge help in improving my memory. She not only taught me techniques to enhance my memory, but also made me realize how certain aspects of my lifestyle were affecting my ability to remember things.
