I am passionate in working with BIPOC women experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. Being an Asian woman with multinational background, I bring a unique perspective to my counseling practice. I understand the intricacies of cultural nuances and the courage it takes to seek support. This background gave me profound insight into the diverse struggles faced by my underrepresented clients and fosters a deep sense of connection and understanding. Welcome to a warm, non-judgmental, and empowering journey where healing begins and self-discovery flourishes.

Sometimes we have many thoughts and emotions that are too big to sort through, making it difficult to know what we are feeling sometimes or even how to manage these feelings. The therapy space that I provide is a safe environment where all these thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be explored in many different ways without fear of judgement. My job is to help you identify your goals, manage any symptoms you may have, and be a big supporter of your journey.

Finding the right therapist is difficult, isn't it? So hard to tell from reading the profile if she will be a good match for you. Perhaps you are asking yourself questions like "Do I really want to do this?", "Can I speak freely to a stranger?", "How do I know she will understand me and my issues?", or "How does therapy work?" It's understandable to have reservations. Call/e-mail me to set up a free, no obligation session and we can address your concerns. You'll be able to tell if you feel safe and heard.

Psychotherapy is a space to make meaning of your unique life experiences and explore—with a collaborative listener, a thought partner—how you can live differently. A compassionate and deep understanding of self allows you to live fuller and more satisfying lives, not bound by old patterns. My goal is to help you understand how your mind works, digest difficult experiences, and develop the capacity to build and maintain enriching relationships with others and yourself. We will be listening to your mind and body in depth, including aspects that are not readily available to us. Understanding your mind in this way can be transformative.

The process of finding a therapist can be daunting, but I believe it is a sign of courage and strength to seek help for lasting personal growth and for stronger relationships. My overall perspective about therapy is to show acceptance, compassion and care to all clients; to build safe, warm, trustworthy, and collaborative therapeutic relationships; to apply evidence-based and culturally-competent therapeutic concepts and skills to address clients’ specific needs; and to build upon client’s strength for change. I can speak both English and Mandarin. I provide immigration psychological evaluations. I am licensed in Maryland and D.C.

Hello! Congratulations on taking this step in your mental wellness journey. When navigating through transitions, relationships, intersectionality, and other challenging aspects of life, you may find that you encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. These moments in which you are faced with change involve intention and care. Therapy allows you to enter a safe, warm, and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today with the hope that in time, you can begin to gain awareness and fulfillment, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.

It happened again. You were sitting in traffic, thinking about your day, when panic suddenly hit. Your chest tightened, and you couldn’t catch your breath. Your palms began to sweat, and your face became flushed. You wondered to yourself, "Is everything about to unravel?!" You never know when these overwhelming emotions will hit, and it’s terrifying. You don’t need this added burden right now – between family dinners, work assignments, doctor’s appointments, paying bills, organizing your house, and everything else, things are already so hectic. You hate to let people down, but you can’t keep going like this.

Relationship challenges, cultural and identity stressors, transitions, career stress, overwhelm, low self worth or often seek validation, concentration and procrastination, and trauma are my areas of expertise. We'll identify triggers; manage or resolve reactions related to PTSD, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression and more. We'll identify the psychological impact of past and current experiences and relationships on mood, behavior and thought patterns.I affirm BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients.

Every person is unique and we will develop a specialized approach that works for you.

Are you trying (and failing) to achieve your way to resilience? When you are worn out by broken systems, the solution can't be for YOU to do MORE. Impersonal wellness modules, self-help courses, and adding another project to your endless to-do list are not the way. I founded Ezar Psychology to help physicians, achievers, and leaders who check all the boxes and work harder and harder, but never feel like it's enough. When relentless demands and expectations leave you burned out, depressed, anxious, and even traumatized... you know something needs to change. Easier said than done? Let's creatively shift from knowing to doing.

I am currently accepting new clients. I offer Telehealth sessions and offer flexible weekday. I’ve had the most success with clients who have Autism, learning disabilities or making life transitions and are in young adulthood ranging from 18-30 years old. My strengths are connecting, supporting, and providing engagement and processing of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors into objectifiable outcomes in a safe and warm environment suitable for growth and change.

Life is tough. Life throws you a curveball, an unexpected job loss, a medical diagnosis, a loved one dying, a child too difficult to handle, another failed relationship, and the list is endless. Yet the world around you keeps going, it seems there is no option to pause. We live in a busy world, with all its difficult circumstances. A sense of hopelessness, helplessness ensues. Yet, a part of you knows it can be different. You wouldn't be reading this if you weren't looking for a way to make it better. Somehow. If you need just a gentle push, an ounce of encouragement, or a ton of compassion, I am here for you. We will work together

I work with Individuals, Couples and Families who can sometimes feel "stuck" not heard or unhappy. I believe that my clients are the experts and my goal is to guide them in understanding the "why," "how," and "what's next." I believe that even in our darkest times we all have strengths that can help us achieve the goals we want within our relationships with ourselves and the others in our life and my role in the therapeutic process is to guide you towards those strengths so together we can bring back into light they deserve. I like to go at my client(s) pace so to not push or create unattainable expectations.

I believe that effective therapy is built on trust and unconditional empathy. My treatment approach is rooted in the importance of the individual, using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Somatic skills. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, judgment free space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. I am dedicated to taking the time to truly get to know you, so that I can incorporate your interests into treatment in creative ways. I want you to not only process your past, but be equipped with practical tools to fuel your future.

My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.
