Have you "always been a worrier?" Are your thoughts racing, spiraling you into despair? Do people keep telling you to stop worrying but you can't? Are you thinking the worst case scenario right now?" You may be having difficulty sleeping, be short on patience, or snapping at people you love. If you are nervous right now because too many things on this list remind you, you may be struggling with anxiety. If your worrying is causing you to enjoy life less or is keeping you from getting things done, I would love to help.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in painful patterns, feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or longing for closeness that feels just out of reach. Others carry the weight of grief, loss, or trauma that still shapes how they see themselves and their relationships. My clients are thoughtful, capable people who’ve often tried to “figure it out” on their own but recognize that real change begins with support, compassion, and a safe space where emotions can be understood and healing can take root.

If it feels like you're getting beat up by your own emotions, this is for you. If it feels like you're getting beat up by someone else's emotions, this is definitely for you. My clients tend to be kind and self-aware, yet plagued by a deep-seated pain in their relationship, family, or personal life. They want to address the underlying problem, not just manage its symptoms.

I find myself drawn to working with individuals who may feel "stuck" but are ready to do the hard work of healing. This often includes people navigating addiction recovery who are working to rebuild their lives and relationships, and individuals struggling with anxiety or depression who feel like they're wearing masks in their daily lives. My ideal clients are those who may have tried therapy before but felt misunderstood or rushed through their healing process. They're looking for someone who won't pathologize their struggles but will sit with them through the difficult emotions and help them discover their own inner wisdom.

NOTE: This is Jane Kwon's official PT profile / You’ve worked hard to build a successful life, but deep down, you feel like you’re never enough. No matter how much you accomplish, anxiety, self-doubt, and perfectionism overshadow your "success." You push yourself to meet high expectations, yet fulfillment always seems just out of reach and you feel exhausted and stuck. Instead of celebrating your life, you question them—was it luck, timing, or just others not seeing your flaws? The fear of being “found out” keeps you striving for more, but the cycle only leaves you feeling exhausted, stuck, and unfulfilled.

If your emotions feel like too much and relationships leave you spiraling, you're not alone. There are moments when you’re drowning in your emotions. Everything hits too hard, too deep, or too raw. One wrong look, a delayed text or tense tone can trigger panic, rage, or shutdown. You say things you don’t mean, then drown in shame and anxiety. It’s exhausting to live in a body that feels unsafe and a mind that never slows down. You’ve worked on it, but still feel like you’re too much—or not enough. You’re tired of the shame, the chaos, and wondering if real healing is even possible.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
