Therapists in 22030

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My areas of expertise include working with individuals of all ages struggling with behavioral and emotional issues, including anger management, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Additionally, I have experience working with clients struggling with spiritual issues and those with family members with emotional struggles. I am also qualified to provide clinical supervision (VA & MD) to intern counselors, helping them develop their skills and knowledge to become effective therapists. I am also pleased to offer therapy sessions in Korean as well.

Are you going through a difficult time and unsure how to navigate it? Are you looking for a safe space to vent and be free to express yourself? Are you struggling with “societal norms?” Are you and your partner in need of additional support or guidance? If any of these questions apply to you, I would love to assist with your therapeutic journey today. My top priorities are empowerment, acceptance, inclusivity and growth. I offer a safe, culturally sensitive space for you to be vulnerable, validation of your feelings and experiences, and support in managing your emotions..

Many times we navigate through the world feeling lost, alone, and even scared. We may tell ourselves that "nobody understands me," "nobody loves me," or "people have it much worst than I do, so why do I deserve to be kind to myself." Many of us tell ourselves some sort of variation of these things from time to time. Some of us may tell ourselves these statements on the daily basis. Come join me as we explore your relationship with yourself as well as your relationship with others.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who are ready and willing to work towards change, who take the lead in the healing process and recognize that I, as a therapist, can provide tools, but they must do the hard work of using these tools if they want to grow and to heal.
